✨🌵👻 HDS 2026 FINAL LINEUP 👻🌵✨
Here they are, the final artists comprising our 2026 festival! And these ones are each cooking up something very special (literally, in one case 🥘)
This year we have not one but *3* sound artists bringing installations to the land surrounding the Palms! Clay and Heather (LA) last hit HDS in 2024 with the all-star ensemble MESH. Now they’re back with a more avian avenue: Clay’s solar-powered synths will draw you into the swarm to become one with the murmuration while Heather’s research into hummingbird wing patterns and sonifications inspire flower-trumpets that will decorate The End of the World (iykyk).
And we’re thrilled to welcome for the first time Emmett Palaima (NY), who took the 29 in “Twentynine Palms” literally: his “29-Channel Palms” will spread throughout the surrounding land, creating a massive spatialized chord for you to explore.
These installations will be up throughout the festival, with dedicated viewing time Saturday afternoon. Speaking of Saturday…
Get ready for the first ever HDS POTLUCK! Chris Hadley has been hosting these inspiring events in LA, bringing people together over shared meal and music-making, and we couldn’t be more excited for him to host the next one at HDS on the morning of Saturday 10/17. More information (including a sign-up form!) forthcoming, but start planning accordingly cause Saturday is gonna be a fun one 👻
🏜️ See you at The Palms 🏜️
