A Celebration of Heavy, Psychedelic, and Experimental Sounds

The Electric Highway Festival has always been more than just a music event—it has been a gathering of a unique subculture, bringing together fans of desert rock, stoner metal, doom, sludge, psychedelic, surf rock, acid rock, noise rock, fuzz rock, space rock, blues rock, heavy psych, southern rock, fuzzy punk, and sludgy hardcore. The festival has been a melting pot of sonic exploration, with each edition featuring bands that push the boundaries of these genres.

Past editions of The Electric Highway have seen incredible performances by artists such as Sasquatch, Anciients, La Chinga, Space Queen, Dead Quiet, Gnarwhal, Gone Cosmic, Hombre, and Flashback. Each year, the festival has not only showcased top-tier musical acts but also provided a platform for local and emerging artists to make their mark.

This final edition will also feature a vendor marketplace, offering a variety of unique goods for attendees to take home as memorabilia of this legendary event.

The Last Call: A Must-Attend Event for Music Enthusiasts

As the final chapter of The Electric Highway unfolds, music lovers, artists, and festival-goers have one last chance to be part of this historic gathering. Over the years, this festival has built an unbreakable community bound by a shared love for heavy, fuzzy, and mind-expanding music. The 2025 edition is not just another festival—it’s a farewell celebration of an era.

This is the moment to gather, headbang, and immerse in the sonic waves one last time. The road ends here, but the memories will last forever.
