Somewhere, in a reality that never fully happened, a signal has been broadcasting all along, patiently, persistently, waiting for a place and people willing to receive it.
Tonight, something finally breaks through, on a frequency the ordinary world was never tuned to receive.
Tonight, this frequency finds us.
This is not a dream. This alternate present exists and we are here to prove it real by the simple, radical act of tuning in together, a chorus, a transmission, a new world where the rules make space for absurdity and conventions are left at the door.
Follow the signals, decode the messages, visit the radio shrines and listen closely, not only for answers, but for each other.
Tune in. The dream is real. So are you.
the experience.
From the curious and creative imaginations of our co-creation team comes a community experience designed to transform your reality.
Theme camp takeovers, mind-bending artwork, workshops, and performers (including aerial and fire!) spread throughout a massive venue, both indoors and out!

more info are coming soon!
Meet this year’s theme camps.
Eight camps are taking over spaces at the venue,
each bringing their own take on Dreamwave.
Camp Costume Camp
Sparkly, unique, preloved garments in the finest fabrics and a stocked make-up station await! Looking glorious but not quite dreamy enough? Need pieces to complement your fabulous dance moves? Feel boxed in by everyday expectations? Come and see them for combinations beyond your wildest dreams and walk away transformed!
Celtic Chaos
Lift the veil and embrace the Chaos in the Cosmos. Inside this space station, light, sound, and human energy unite into one live chorus. Where every frequency shift shapes the room and perception collides with reality in a shared, lucid-dream state. Tune in and follow the signal.
Costco Soulmate Trading Outlet
The playa’s original and longest-running soulmate trading outpost. Come experience our unparalleled matching system, honed over 28 years of no-frills soulmate trading. Trained interviewers dig deep to find your perfect match, whether that’s a new best friend, a kindred spirit, or someone who challenges everything you thought you knew.
Lusty Lobsters In Space
Expect an intergalactic universe where iridescent lobsters and sea creatures float through the dancefloor, with corners for deep sea play. Dance to beats and bass while taking a ride on our vibrating lobster, follow the clues for a treasure hunt or dial up to get some naughty advice on our lobster phone.
Moon Circle
Moon Circle is a dark, dreamlike refuge where shadow, translucent fabric, hypnotic projections and slow ritual performance blur the room into something half-sacred, half-haunted. At its heart, a journey of DJ sets, live music and performance draws you through strange corners and into the Emotional Jacuzzi, carrying you somewhere between collective dream, ritual and beautiful nonsense.
Shadow Jadore
Step into the light and surrender to your shadow. Pose, play, move, transform. For a moment, labels disappear and your silhouette becomes the artwork. Explore another side of yourself, alone or together, and leave with a unique physical trace of the shadow you created.
Together In Space
Enter an African sci-fi dreamscape where Tankwa dust meets the cosmos. Live percussion and hypnotic frequencies propel you from Afro and organic grooves through indie dance and melodic soundscapes, building into warm, dark techno. A journey through cultures and frequencies, built for movement, connection and getting gloriously lost in space… together!
TrashFence SparklePhonies
TrashFence SparklePhonies is a long standing Burning Man theme camp and music collective known for its elaborate and immersive set dressing. They champion a blend of Afro house, Latin house, deep house, and tribal grooves. Special gift for the most daring pyjamas.
