Valley of the Seven Stars returns to LOCKNโ€™ and Oak Ridge Farms in Arrington, Virginia from October 9โ€“11, 2026, bringing a melodic/psychedelic bass-driven lineup to the Blue Ridge foothills for its second year. The festival debuted last year and it was the kind of event that created instant FOMO. Unfortunately, we had a schedule conflict that made the first edition impossible. But after seeing reels from both the festival and fans throughout the weekend, this quickly became one we were not going to miss again.

The lineup is presented alphabetically rather than by day, but one artist is the clear focus of the weekend. GRiZ, who curates the festival, is scheduled to perform three times across the event. His sets often move between funk, heavier bass, and live instrumentation, and even for listeners who donโ€™t follow every release closely, his shows usually include moments that make it clear why his fanbase is so dedicated.


Absolutely LOADED Lineup:

Beyond GRiZ, CloZee stands out as one of the weekendโ€™s most distinctive performers. Her blend of global instrumentation, melodic builds, and bass-driven production has made her a consistent festival draw, and she fits naturally into a setting designed for immersive sets. Daily Bread also feels like a strong match here, bringing a groove-forward approach that mixes hip-hop sampling, funk textures, and low-end weight.

Weโ€™re also especially looking forward to Alleycvt, Crankdat, Jade Cicada, Nikita, The Wicked, Ravenscoon, SIPPY, and Zen Selekta. Jade Cicada is a particularly welcome addition after our hometown Deep Tropics Equinox was canceled, where he had been on our must-see list. Ravenscoon, SIPPY, and Crankdat lean toward heavier late-night energy. Alleycvt and Nikita, The Wicked continue to build momentum in the bass scene, and Zen Selekta adds another name that fits the festivalโ€™s psychedelic and immersive direction.

Elsewhere on the lineup, artists like LSDREAM, Mersiv, G Jones, and GRAMATIK help round out the upper tier beyond GRiZ. Fans of heavier bass and dubstep will find plenty across the weekend, while Late Night Radio, Vincent Antone, Flamingosis, and The Sponges lean toward funk-driven, sample-heavy sets that balance the lineup. We will definitely be doing some stage hopping!


Tickets, Camping, and Festival Details

While there are some hotel packages available, Valley of the Seven Stars is a camping-focused event. The fest offers multiple camping options including car camping, forest camping, tent-only areas, RV spaces, and limited on-site lodging packages. The three-day festival runs October 9โ€“11, with campground access beginning Thursday for attendees who purchase the separate early-entry add-on. VIP passes include perks such as dedicated lounge access, express entry lanes, private restrooms, and additional hospitality offerings throughout the weekend.

Beyond the music, the festival also features workshops, wellness programming, art activities, and late-night stages. Tickets are already on sale on the festival’s website with tickets and camping add-ons sold separately. Full details, including camping options and lodging packages, can be found at the official ticket link.

Between the wooded setting, GRiZโ€™s involvement, and a lineup that balances established names with rising artists, Valley of the Seven Stars is going to be an event rather than just a typical weekend fest.
