About Backstage

From San Francisco

Backstage

Backstage is an interactive electronic music camp built as a rotating audience-to-artist-to-crew ritual. Part social music installation and part anti-spectator experience, it invites guests into a structured participation loop of backstage creation, onstage performance, and front of house support. Participants create a track in a guided music studio behind the stage, hear it come alive on stage, then help light the next act before returning to the dance floor. We also host live experimental electronic music, dance parties, and late night ambient sets.
