SLANDER's Long-Awaited Music Festival, Starbase, Confirmed for 2025: See the Lineup

SLANDER are shooting for the stars—literally—after revealing the long-awaited launch of their own music festival, Starbase.

SLANDER’s Derek Andersen and Scott Land revealed Starbase back in May 2021 but ultimately pulled the plug, postponing the festival indefinitely and refunding ticket-holders due to the impact of COVID-19 at the time.

Inspired by the duo’s many years attending Burning Man, the inaugural festival had originally been planned for a nature preserve in South Carolina but has now been moved to the sun-kissed Lake Perris in Southern California.

If you’re craving a lakeside escape with beats that echo into the dawn, Starbase might just be your next cosmic destination. A space where electronic music and community converge under the stars, the camping festival will take place April 25-26, 2025 in collaboration with Insomniac Events.

What will really set Starbase apart, Insomniac says, is its move to root out one of the biggest pain points of music festivals: set conflicts. The festival’s schedule will be developed with zero conflicts so fans can have “the chance to experience every single artist on the lineup if they so choose,” the company said in a press release.

SLANDER themselves will perform a staggering five sets over two days, blending their signature euphoric sound with experimental twists. They’re poised for a solo performance, b2b sets alongside bass music superstar NGHTMRE and drum & bass luminary Dimension, and a pair of beachside “techno sunrise sets” under their Before Dawn alias.

Joining SLANDER on the lineup are Space Laces, Trivecta, Wavedash, William Black, Pauline Herr, Au5 and SVDDEN DEATH’s VOYD, among nearly 40 other influential producers of dubstep, trap and bass music. When Starbase’s three stages cool down, lakeside afterparties will heat up with techno sets and carry the crowd into sunrise.

Camping packages will be available in three options: Tent Camping ($399.99 + fees) for up to four campers, Car Camping ($599.99 + fees) for up to eight people and RV Camping with full hookups ($699.99 + fees) for up to eight people. Each package includes lakeside camping spots, an exclusive pre-party on Thursday night and access to free water stations and showers.

Fans can now register for a pre-sale beginning Wednesday, December 18th at 10am PT. Tickets will then release to the general public the following day at the same time.
