SLANDERÂ is reaching for the stars with the launch of their highly anticipated music festival, Starbase. The duo, composed of Derek Andersen and Scott Land, initially announced Starbase in May 2021 but had to postpone the event due to the impact of COVID-19. Now, inspired by their experiences at Burning Man, the festival has been relocated to the picturesque Lake Perris in Southern California.
If you’re looking for a lakeside getaway filled with pulsating beats that reverberate until sunrise, Starbase could be your next cosmic destination. Scheduled for April 25-26, 2025, in collaboration with Insomniac Events, this camping festival promises to be a unique blend of electronic music and community beneath the stars.

Creating a Conflict-Free Festival Experience
Insomniac aims to set Starbase apart by eliminating set conflicts, a common issue at music festivals. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy every artist on the lineup without missing out on any performances. This thoughtful scheduling approach ensures a seamless experience for fans.
SLANDER themselves will deliver an impressive five sets over two days, showcasing their euphoric sound with experimental twists. From solo performances to b2b sets with NGHTMRE and Dimension, as well as beachside “techno sunrise sets” under their Before Dawn alias, the duo promises a diverse and electrifying experience.
Joining SLANDER on the lineup are renowned artists like Space Laces, Trivecta, Wavedash, and SVDDEN DEATH’s VOYD, among others. With nearly 40 influential producers of dubstep, trap, and bass music, Starbase guarantees an unforgettable musical journey across its three stages.
