Framework in the Desert 2025 Breaks Records with Star-Studded Lineup and Epic Production

Framework in the Desert 2025 Breaks Records with Star-Studded Lineup and Epic Production

If Coachella is the main course, Framework in the Desert is the fire afterparty that everyone’s craving. Held just minutes from Indio at the Atlantic Aviation airport hangar in Thermal, CA, the fourth edition of Framework’s signature event brought serious heat to the desert — and this year, it was bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever.

Over 14,000 partygoers danced under the stars from April 11–13, 2025, across three sold-out nights that merged world-class music, next-level production, and surprise celebrity appearances. It’s no wonder Framework in the Desert has officially cemented itself as one of the hottest underground events during festival season.

The Vibe: Where Underground Meets Iconic

Known for pushing the boundaries of nightlife culture, Framework transformed an aviation hangar into an immersive music mecca. The atmosphere? Think booming bass, trippy LED installations, and a crowd that looked straight off a Hypebeast shoot.

The 2025 lineup delivered a genre-blending mix of house, techno, and experimental beats. Night one kicked off with heavyweights Chris Lake and deadmau5 (yes, that deadmau5), who took fans on a nostalgia-laced journey filled with classic anthems. Chris Lake even brought out surprise guest Chris Lorenzo for a b2b Anti-Up set — total chaos, in the best way.

Saturday saw a wild headline performance from Mau P, who turned up the energy with his signature tech-house bangers. BLACKPINK’s LISA even made an appearance, partying it up from the Wynn Nightlife VIP section like the queen she is.

Sunday wrapped with a rare underground set by Swedish legend Alesso, performing as his alias BODY HI. Add in surprise sets from Francis Mercier, Layton Giordani, and rising stars like Interplanetary Criminal and Max Styler, and you had a weekend that felt more like a secret festival than an afterparty.

Next-Level Production: The Long Feng Art Car

Debuting outside of Burning Man for the first time ever, the Long Feng Art Car was an eye-popping centerpiece of the weekend. With massive dragon heads, LED panels, and dancers twirling on both sides, the mutant vehicle was the ultimate flex for Framework’s commitment to creating you-had-to-be-there moments.

Wynn Nightlife Brought the Luxe

VIPs didn’t just get bottle service — they got the full red carpet treatment thanks to Wynn Nightlife, returning for its fourth year with Framework. Attendees partied with front-row views, exclusive seating, and that iconic Wynn service. Celebs like LISA, Emma Roberts, Winnie Harlow, and Nav were spotted throughout the weekend, proving Framework knows how to mix the underground with star power.

Beyond the Hangar: Framework Was Everywhere

Framework didn’t just own the night — they dominated the whole weekend. At Coachella, they curated the lineup at the infamous Yuma Tent, featuring acts like Amelie Lens and Vintage Culture. They also co-produced the elite Desert Nights series at Zenyara estates with Corso Marketing Group, featuring Anyma, Damian Lazarus b2b Dennis Cruz, Bob Moses, WHOMADEWHO, and even a surprise set by AFROJACK.

Back in LA, Framework also kicked off its 7 Days of Framework marathon at Sound Nightclub, keeping the party alive between festival weekends with acts like Alok, Sparrow & Barbossa, Dixon, Jimi Jules, Beltran, Eli Brown, and Kaz James b2b AMÉMÉ.
