Framework In The Desert comes back in 2025 to deliver Burning Man festival vibes with Alesso and Mau P. The festival returns to Atlantic Aviation in Thermal, California, a stone’s throw from the Indio festival grounds. This marks the fourth edition of Framework’s desert afterparty series, set across April 11-13. The 2025 lineup already includes Dutch tech-house phenom Mau P and Alesso performing as his underground alias, BODY HI. Framework’s after-dark experience bridges festival culture and underground nightlife in the Southern California desert. Once again, Framework in the Desert positions itself as the essential post-Coachella gathering for fans chasing deeper sets. The 2025 edition will deliver both headliner heat and new immersive stage design.
Headliners: Mau P and Alesso’s Underground Alias BODY HI
Saturday’s lineup features Mau P alongside Max Styler and Interplanetary Criminal. On Sunday, Alesso (BODY HI) will headline with support from Francis Mercier and Layton Giordani. Friday’s full roster remains under wraps, with surprise headliners expected. All shows unfold inside the open-air hangar space at Atlantic Aviation. The venue allows for seamless transitions between indoor intensity and outdoor freedom. The environment makes every Framework night feel like a hybrid between a warehouse rave and open desert gathering. Expect another stacked weekend of thumping beats and euphoric sunrise moments.
Iconic Long Feng Art Car
In a major addition for 2025, Framework introduces the Long Feng Art Car as the festival’s centerpiece stage. Long Feng, a striking mutant vehicle from Burning Man, has never been seen outside Black Rock City. Designed by a crew of performers, contortionists, and engineers, the structure offers LEDs, aerial rigs, and a full-functioning sound system. It’s part art installation, part spaceship, and part stage—built to amaze. Its arrival in the desert signals a crossover between Burner culture and modern rave production. With Long Feng now in the mix, Framework adds another layer of spectacle to its desert framework. For attendees, the experience now promises stunning visual storytelling alongside musical curation.
A Continued Partnership
Wynn Nightlife returns to Framework In The Desert for a fourth straight year, bringing elevated hospitality to the dusty dancefloor. VIP guests can expect dedicated seating, signature bottle service, and personalized guest care. The collaboration elevates Framework beyond DIY rave aesthetics into the realm of boutique festival hospitality. Known globally for their Las Vegas luxury venues, Wynn’s partnership shows that the desert can still serve five-star energy. In 2025, this curated crossover of music and service becomes even more seamless. The hangar’s industrial layout merges effortlessly with Wynn’s premium setup. It’s a rare festival experience where desert grit meets polished presentation.
Framework’s Legacy of Transformative Events
Since 2022, Framework in the Desert has reshaped what post-festival life looks like in the Coachella Valley. The brand’s desert framework, built on late-night sets and bold lineups, continues to evolve. Past editions have welcomed Peggy Gou, John Summit, Charlotte de Witte, and Fisher b2b Chris Lake. Framework has a proven track record of making history—not just in Thermal, but throughout Los Angeles. In 2024, they shut down Hollywood Boulevard for Michael Bibi’s massive open-air concert. They hosted genre-shaping nights in iconic spaces like Red Studios, Sears Building, and Chinatown’s Gin Ling Way. In every production, Framework blends location, sound, and culture to create singular festival moments.
