Framework, one of the world’s leading independent purveyors of underground music experiences, has unveiled the star-studded 5th anniversary lineup for its acclaimed festival season afterparty, Framework In The Desert. Celebrating a half-decade as the premier festival after-hours event, Framework In the Desert 2026 will return to Atlantic Aviation airport hangar in Thermal, CA on Friday, April 10 - Sunday, April 12, 2026, featuring world-class artists who are also playing the iconic Indio festival just a few miles away.

Since its inception in 2022 - when the event became one of the first-ever festival afterparties in the Coachella Valley open to the public - Framework In The Desert has transformed Atlantic Aviation into a desert club paradise, showcasing Framework’s standard for top-tier house & techno talent backdropped by cutting-edge production, all set in a one-of-a-kind location. Taking place just a short distance from the Indio festival grounds, Framework in the Desert has served as the ultimate after-hours destination for festival-goers who didn’t get to catch their favorite dance music artists during the day - or those who simply want to experience main stage talent in a more intimate warehouse environment.

Next month, Framework In The Desert returns for its 5 Year Anniversary with an appropriately illustrious lineup befitting the landmark occasion. On Friday, April 10, the hangar will host a headlining performance from British producer duo Disclosure (DJ Set), as well as a headlining B2B set from KETTAMA and Prospa.

Then, on Saturday, April 11, Framework In The Desert 2026 will feature headlining sets from Brazilian superstar Mochakk, German experimentalist Boys Noize, and cousins Max Dean B2B Luke Dean.

Closing out the weekend on Sunday, April 12, trance legend Armin van Buuren and Berlin-based partystarter Marlon Hoffstadt will headline the Framework In The Desert 2026 finale.

The Framework In The Desert 2026 Friday and Sunday lineups are also rounded out by a bevy of talented support acts. On Friday, April 10, UK-based tech-house producer Riordan and Chicago-based techno producer Azzecca will grace the Framework In The Desert stage. On Sunday, April 12, Framework In The Desert will host support performances from Parisian producer/multi-instrumentalist Chloé Calliet and emerging genre-blender bullet tooth.

Over the course of its five-year history, Framework In The Desert’s growing reputation culminated in last year’s edition, which welcomed a record-shattering 14,000+ guests over three-days and featured headlining performances Chris Lake, deadmau5, Mau P, and Alesso (BODY HI). Framework In The Desert 2025 also starred the Long Feng Art Car as its mesmerizing stage, marking the structure’s first public appearance outside of Burning Man.

An immediate standout from last year’s installment, the Long Feng Art Car is set to return for Framework In The Desert 2026. Debuting at Burning Man 2024, Long Feng Art Car is a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art mutant vehicle: twirling dancers flank its sides, while spellbinding LED panels and towering, mechanized dragon heads surround the entire structure. The Long Feng injects an eye-popping visual dimension to Framework In The Desert, exemplifying Framework’s penchant for crafting singular, ‘you-had-to-be-there’ musical experiences.

For the fifth consecutive year, renowned hospitality icon Wynn Nightlife will be on deck at Framework In The Desert for an elevated experience, allowing revelers to enjoy an unforgettable VIP experience that features exclusive seating, dedicated bottle service, prime artist sightlines, and the acclaimed guest service that the brand is globally recognized for.

In addition to Framework in the Desert, Framework will have its hands in various other events this festival season, stretching its influence across Southern California and fortifying its status as the go-to brand for curating the most in-demand underground acts. Framework recently announced the lineup for their multi-day event, 7 Days Of Framework At Sound. Between April 10 - April 18, 2026, Framework will host world-class headliners at Hollywood's legendary Sound Nightclub - which Framework owns and operates. This year’s 7 Days Of Framework At Sound will feature performances from Adam Beyer (April 10), Groove Armada (DJ Set) (April 11), Röyksopp and Le Yora (April 14), Prospa & Riordan (April 15), Dimension (April 16), &friends (April 17), and Joezi (April 18).

Across all three Indio festival weekends, Framework will also co-produce the Desert Nights and Rodeo Nights afterparty series at the Zenyara private estate alongside Corso Marketing Group. Taking place Friday, April 10 - Sunday, April 12, Friday, April 17 - Sunday, April 19, and Friday, April 24 - Sunday, April 26, 2026, Desert Nights and Rodeo Nights will reclaim their status as the ultimate convergence of festival culture, luxury nightlife, and celebrity magnetism. More details to be announced soon.

Framework also recently concluded the groundbreaking debut season of its re:frame series. Beginning with a sold-out Grand Opening Party on January 16, Framework transformed Reframe Studios Indoors - a film soundstage in Atwater Village - into an immersive nightclub experience on a weekly basis. In the process, re:frame hosted 30,000+ attendees and sold out eight Season One dates, solidifying the series as Los Angeles’ most sought-after new nightlife destination and further cementing Framework’s legacy as one of the city’s most culture-defining forces. re:frame Season One provided sold-out performances from MK (Grand Opening Party), Disco Dom, Dombresky, John Summit, CamelPhat, The Martinez Brothers, Franky Rizardo, and Guy Gerber.
