Project Glow Music Festival
Co-produced by Insomniac and Club Glow, Project GLOW is known for its intimate vibe, diverse lineup, and strong local support from the DMV rave community. Unlike larger-scale camping festivals, GLOW is easy to access, wallet-friendly, and delivers the same level of production you’d expect from the team behind EDC.
Official Lineup & Set Times
Saturday is led by Chris Lake and a highly anticipated Slander B2B NGHTMRE set.
Sunday brings global icon Tiësto and bass titan Subtronics to the mainstage. Other highlights include Kaskade, Loud Luxury, Joel Corry, Matroda, Rossy, Wooli, Crankdat, and San Pacho.
