Elements Music and Arts Festival (Long Pond, PA, USA) 2026

About

On a sprawling stretch of untouched woodland near Pocono Raceway, August 7–9, 2026 will see Elements Music & Arts Festival reawaken into something that feels like a cosmic dream. What begins as a whisper beneath rustling leaves soon becomes a tidal wave of sound, color, and motion—an immersive odyssey where music festival, art, nature, and community converge in ways that surprise and uplift.

This gathering is built around four elemental realms—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—each with its own sonic identity and visual personality. Fire crackles with high-octane beats; Earth morphs into a living sculpture garden of flora, fiber, and projection; Air whispers in delicate, ambient tones through suspended soundwalks; Water dances with reflective light, pools, movement, and music that ebbs and flows. The stages—woven into forest clearings, by creekside banks, or beneath towering trees—blur the line between constructed and organic.

Last year’s lineup offers a vivid tapestry to hint what’s possible for 2026: Illenium poured emotion into melodic soundscapes; deadmau5 pushed the outer edges of techno bliss; Rezz summoned dark and hypnotic frequencies; Zeds Dead traveled the full spectrum from dub to house; Sara Landry delivered relentless techno force; Sofi Tukker (DJ Set) brought pop-inflected dance charm. Supporting artists included Eli Brown, Liquid Stranger, Claude VonStroke, Mau P, LP Giobbi, Layton Giordani, Wax Motif, and surprise B2B sets like Sullivan King vs Kayzo. The festival also introduced new names in its second-phase reveal—Kaskade Redux, Malaa vs Alter Ego, Hi-Lo, J. Worra, Crankdat, and more—each adding bold textures and surprise dynamics to the experience.

In 2026, expect the same spirit magnified: nights that stretch into dawn, unexpected collaborations, hidden sound portals tucked between trees, and art installations that demand your curiosity. Wellness programming—from sound baths and movement classes to rituals beneath the forest canopy—will carry equal weight, giving breath and reflection between the highs. Camping villages, glamping zones, and “Vibe Villages” shaped by attendees themselves will give form to community and spontaneous gatherings. Sustainability will again anchor the vision, with solar systems, waste initiatives, and ecological care integral, not tacked on.

This is not just a festival. It’s an invitation: to let your senses open, to wander without agenda, to connect with strangers over a shared heartbeat of rhythm, and to re-enter the world changed. In 2026, Elements promises to mirror your own capacity for wonder—and to outdo it.
