After a two-year hiatus, Dirtybird CampINN is officially back and bolder than ever for its 2025 edition. Returning over Labor Day Weekend—from Friday, August 29 to Tuesday, September 2—the beloved resort festival takes flight at a brand-new location: the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando, presented in partnership with Home Bass.
Celebrating Dirtybird’s 20-year legacy, this year’s CampINN promises a full resort takeover packed with multi-genre exploration, immersive art, artist-led experiences, and nonstop grooves across multiple stages. With over 742 hotel rooms, 60,000+ square feet of indoor event space, and a poolside setup built for daytime debauchery, the new venue sets the stage for one of the most unique boutique dance music festivals in North America.
A Lineup That Spans Scenes and Sounds
CampINN 2025 delivers a genre-blending lineup featuring core Dirtybird players, global legends, and forward-pushing newcomers. Festival staples like Justin Martin, Eats Everything, VNSSA, Ardalan, Sacha Robotti, Christian Martin, and Shiba San return alongside first-time appearances from crossover giants ACRAZE and TroyBoi, injecting tech house and trap energy into the mix.
Europe’s underground is also well-represented with debut performances from Riva Starr, Solardo, and Sirus Hood, alongside tastemakers Nick Curly, Tini Gessler, DJ Tennis, and Kevin Saunderson. Bass and experimental heads can dive deep into sets from Rusko, Eprom, Champagne Drip, Freddy Todd, Nitepunk, and pioneering trio The Glitch Mob.
Also joining are Dirtybird rising stars AMPRS&ND, Smalltown DJs, and DJ Glen, plus boundary-pushers like J. Worra, DJ Holographic, Stacey Pullen, Gene Farris, Black V Neck, and DJ Habibeats.
Behind the decks, Dirtybird label manager Deron Delgado and Moody Jones (EMPIRE’s Head of Dance) showcase the behind-the-scenes talent shaping today’s diverse club culture.
Collective Takeovers From Around the World
This year, Dirtybird teams up with three leading dance music collectives to deliver distinctive stage takeovers:
- Defected Records brings decades of house excellence to the resort, celebrating timeless club anthems and rising stars.
- Desert Hearts returns with Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, and Marbs, along with their signature sunrise sets, DIY flair, and colorful crew energy.
- FriendShip, helmed by Gary Richards (aka Destructo), transforms the ballroom into a landlocked version of its famed cruise, bringing the ShipFam spirit ashore.
More Than Music—A Weekend of Play and Participation
Dirtybird CampINN has always been about the full experience—and 2025 is no exception. The resort will be transformed into a creative playground with artist-led events and offbeat programming:
- “Walk the Plank” Drag Show
- Glow-in-the-Dark Double Dutch
- Sunset Yoga
- Water Aerobics
- Tie-Dye Station hosted by Desert Hearts
- Defected Record Store pop-up
- FriendShip Ballroom Takeover
- Frick Frack Blackjack, The Great Bingo Revival, and more
There will even be a live performance from Coco Prosecco, winner of the 2025 Dirtybird DJ Contest.
A New Era for Dirtybird’s Signature Experience
According to Deron Delgado, “Dirtybird has always been about collaboration and community. This year’s CampINN is about expanding the flock—building a culture based on shared values, diversity, and pushing the boundaries of dance music together.”
With a fresh venue, deeper creative vision, and genre-fluid lineup that connects multiple generations and sounds, Dirtybird CampINN 2025 marks a new chapter in the festival’s evolution—one that celebrates its roots while stepping firmly into the future.
