Elements Music & Arts Festival Opens Today With Charlotte de Witte, Boys Noize and More

Elements Music & Arts Festival opens today, August 7, at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Its ninth edition runs through August 9, with more than 100 acts across the campground and multiple stages in the festival’s art-filled forest.

Phase Two added Charlotte de Witte, Boys Noize, Chris Lorenzo, Matroda, Tiga, and WANKDAT (Crankdat B2B Wooli). Mersiv is scheduled for two sets, while Dirtwire and Tractorbeam bring live electronic performances into a program that runs through techno, house, bass, dubstep, experimental, and crossover sounds.

Those additions join an initial announcement with Above & Beyond, Chris Lake, Excision, I Hate Models, KETTAMA, Of The Trees, Sub Focus, Subtronics, and SVDDEN DEATH. Together, the two announcements sketch the musical range of the weekend without turning the festival into a roll call.

Designed to represent the four elements, each stage has its own experience. Earth is the home for bass, psychedelic, world, jam, and experimental music; Fire is framed as the high-energy dance floor; Water moves through drum and bass, techno, house, and dubstep; and Air stays with techno, house, Afrobeat, and ambient well into the night.

Beyond the stages, you can find art installations, roaming performances, art cars, and community-driven Vibe Villages. Wellness lounges at the festival offer yoga, aromatherapy, sound baths, and more.

Vibe Villages make camping part of the festival’s participatory side. Groups of 15 or more can create a reserved camp, whether that means an interactive art or performance camp in Fire Village, a communal lounge or pop-up experience in Earth Village, a themed camp in Water Village, or a simpler home base with friends in Air Village.

One group already building that kind of home base is BeisHaus, a Jewish cultural and educational community within the electronic music scene. Its Elements 2026 registration page walks prospective members through joining the BeisHaus Vibe Village, from festival tickets to group-camp passes.

Once you are in Long Pond, a few practical details will make the weekend easier: main-stage programming runs from noon to 2 a.m. each day, later stages and entertainment continue in Vibe Villages and the campgrounds, and set times will arrive through the official Elements app. Payments on site use the festival wristband, with cash top-up stations for anyone who does not link a card, and the festival recommends saving QR-code add-ons before arrival in case cell service drops out.
