Dreamstate SoCal 2026 — Queen Mary Waterfront, Long Beach

You found this. Be the first one here.

Every other electronic subgenre got its trend piece, its backlash, and eventually its revival tour. Trance never needed one, because the people who love it never stopped needing it: four on the floor, a build that feels like the climb of a roller coaster, and a drop that feels like the moment the track lets go of you. Dreamstate is where all of them find each other. Over seventy artists across four stages on the Queen Mary waterfront, including the new Long Beach Amphitheater and the Beatbox Art Car for local artists. Above and Beyond play an Anjunabeats Classics set. Infected Mushroom bring the psytrance. Ferry Corsten, Dash Berlin, and Astrix hold the old guard while ARTBAT and Hannah Laing carry whatever is coming next. This is not a festival where you stand at the back and nod politely along. It is one where you close your eyes and the bassline finds your sternum. The community is as much the draw as the lineup. Trance fans are a tribe, and this is the weekend the tribe gathers.
