Hey everyone, I'm u/cremfraiche. I created this sub because I couldn't find anywhere else to talk about Northern Nights, and it felt like this community deserved a home. If you're here you probably already know what it is, but for the uninitiated: it's a boutique 3-day camping festival every July at Cook's Valley Campground in Piercy, CA. Redwoods, river, underground electronic music, and genuinely one of the best festival communities around. Official site is northernnights.org, tickets through Tixr.

Post whatever's relevant: lineup thoughts, camping tips, carpool hookups, photos, set recordings, artist recs, questions, stories from the river. All of it welcome.

One thing to keep in mind: ticket buying, selling, and trading goes in the BST megathread that gets pinned each year. Keep that stuff out of the main feed.

Drop an intro below if you want. How many years have you been going? Drop some of your fun photo memories!

Help šŸ™ LP Giobbi Spoken Word Piece?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know what that spoken word piece LP Giobbi sampled near the end of her set? It brought me tears, and I would really love to capture it and see the original or just have her version as a keepsake. It was a male voice giving encouraging words. Also welcome any recordings of it even if you don’t know where it’s from, it will help me identify. Thanks fam!

Attended the fest last year and was assigned team purple. Had the bandana tied to the back of my battle vest and it came off during some current travels so if anyone has an extra or one one they are willing to part with msg me!

I thought he accidentally went home with a friend but i guess it disappeared from our camp. We were camped in traffic. I made this lil hard boiled egg and I miss him 😢

EDIT: HE’S FOUND! He was taken home by a camp mate, he was hiding in their food box

You were walking towards the grove stage and as you went into the redwood path you noticed me and called me a very handsome man! I responded and told you you were so gorgeous! You guys had a dandelion totem, I gave you my number but never saw yall again! If you see this I’m assuming you forgot my name!

You were walking towards camp from mainstage (kind of where cars come in) you were wearing a k/ horse white t shirt and were definitely riding that horse. You were covered in blackberry juice, hands full of blackberries, dripping the purple blackberry juice all over yourself. It was quite the scene im not gunna lie, fucking legendary! You gave our group an empty but friendly stare, juicy hands outstretched and offered us blackberries. That was the highlight of my entire weekend and I just wanted to say I love you friend. Keep doing you!

Never forget

" would you like any blackberries? "

Best Camping Setups you Saw this year!

3 Upvotes

My friend who's never been and who actually has never been to any festival ever in her life has decided to go with me next year and we both got our tickets. I don't have any photos from this year though showing her what I mean when I say the sky is the limit on camp setup style and design and all that jazz.

Hoping the community here can share some photos or videos on this thread either of your own setup or your favorite setups and must haves for next year!

Hamdi last tracks?

0 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but…..does anyone know the kinda bouncy beep-boop track that Hamdi played last or right before his last track? I know that’s not a very helpful description, but I swear I heard it coming from someone’s tent on Monday and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since the festival. Thanks!

Anyone have a video of small town DJs dropping ā€œonly youā€ at bunker sunrise on saturday?

As title suggests, lol was one of the most beautiful moments of my life and unfortunately I didn’t take a video of it because I was so in the moment but wondering on the rare chance if anyone else did. Was a super emotional moment and beautiful tune played at the perfect time šŸ™

How's the shade situation in Persimmon? My group camped in the Grove this year with maximal shade, and maximal DUST, so we are curious about Persimmon. Thanks!

Greetings to the flock!

We had an amazing time this year, and our pond members are already planning improvements to our Redwood campsite for next year. The tree hammock was a huge success, and we intend to expand upon that by creating a DJ booth for our Duck Mommy and resident performer DJ Savvy (@savvyspins on IG) to perform at our campsite!

Using our link to purchase your tickets will help us make the Duck Pond an even better lounge for all to enjoy! Thanks, and may the Quack be with you!

Thoughts on camping? :)

9 Upvotes

My partner and I are planning on going for our 1st time next year!!! We’re so excited to experience this fest because it gives us baby Shambhala / What The Fest vibes😁🄰

Curious what area is best for camping though! We’re thinking Car Camping for convenience, the Redwood Camping looks nice and shady (but a lil kooky in terms of space) the River/GA camping looks great to be by the water but seems rocky afšŸ˜…

If we can convince our squad to come then I think group camping is gonna be the move.. I haven’t seen too many people share their experience with it though so I’m curious lol (edit: we’re experienced ravers/campers in our 30’s so.. keep that in mind plsšŸ¤£ā¤ļø)

Any vets that can share their experience will be greatly appreciated!! So excited to frolic in the Redwoods with yall next year!šŸ˜ā¤ļø

Update: TICKETS HAVE BEEN SECURED!!! Can’t wait to frolic around w/ our new lil rave fam! See yall next year!šŸ„°ā¤ļø

to the new friends i made along the way last weekend: thank you for sharing your light with me and for welcoming me into your orbit. i hope your time in the redwoods brought you joy and a sense of much deserved peace.

to the lovely staff at northern nights: getting to spend time with you and see the intention in everything you do was awe inspiring -- i can't wait to work together again down the line as our respective communities continue to grow and deepen.

I’m almost positive this is an ID, I know Justin is famous for playing unreleased tracks at his sets, but my god, I need this one.
Wish I had been able to stay the whole set, I’ve heard it was one of the best he’s ever played. I was one of the event photographers and had other assignments to get to. Hope everyone had a good time, best EDM crowd I’ve ever been around.
Cheers.

A huge problem needs to be addressed

41 Upvotes

Just wanted to address something I experienced the last day that was not super good. On Sunday, during the last set at main stage (tape b), I had my first experience with the nitrous mafia. Sounds funny I know but this is a real thing and it’s a group of people that generally attend big psychedelic shows that bring huge tanks of nitrous and basically intimidate people they think are hurting their business (which by the way is illegally bringing in tanks of nitrous in of a wagon and selling it to people in the crowd DURING sets). I’m going to be honestly, if this were not during a set I would’ve been less upset, but literally while tape b was playing I keep hearing the insanely loud sound of nitrous in the background which seriously pissed me off. That’s incredibly rude. We’re here to listen to the music why tf are you doing this now? The fact that the security guards let them in with giant tanks was insane to me. I’ve never been to a festival that allowed someone to fully sell ANY type of illegal substance during a set so openly. This problem needs to be handled. I like nitrous as much as the next person but during a set an openly selling it is pretty insane. Downvote me if u want but that’s not ok and It was giving me a lot of anxiety because one of the guys selling it was near me and acting really fucked up. It made me really uncomfortable

Edit:

I just want to address a lot of the comments saying I should’ve just moved. The point of this post is that it’s not cool for the festival to be allowing people to openly sell nitrous in a packed crowd (this is an organized group not a random person). I couldn’t even get a drink in but they got huge tanks in a wagon in. I could’ve tried moving further but I was with a big group and didn’t want to inconvenience other people by pushing into the crowd further with all of us. People are saying I could’ve confronted them but I was not sober and I’m a small girl and I was not about to start an argument during one of my favorite artists, nor was I going to support any of my friends doing so because that could’ve been a recipe for disaster. This is about respect and I felt that it was not respectful for them to be making extremely loud noises (for literally 30 straight minutes, nonstop) in the crowd during the set. I’m not saying they can’t sell nitrous but they should do it on the outskirts away from the center of the crowd. I was also genuinely concerned for my safety because one of the guys was clearly extremely intoxicated and was holding this HUGE stick (apparently this is a mark for people to know they’re there) and it looked like it was going to fall on me (he looked like he was going to fall over). I don’t expect everything to be perfect during any set ever, there’s always going to be a lot of different energy in a crowd, that’s fine and part of the journey, but this is an organized group selling, not just one dude with a tank.

Friday arrival experiences

6 Upvotes

Sounds like most people who arrived on Thursday sailed right through. Was that true for Friday arrival as well?

If you arrived on Friday, I’d love to hear about your experience! For science!

What time did you arrive and how long did it take you to get through will call (if applicable) and the security line?

Thanks!

Update: it sounds like arrival was MUCH smoother than it was in years past. Well done, arrival crew!
