Article Contributed by Euphoric Styles | Published on Thursday, March 10, 2016

Last July for a second consecutive sellout year, thousands of attendees had the festival experience of a lifetime along the banks of the Eel River on the Mendocino / Humboldt County Line. Northern Nights Music Festival returns to the historic Cook's Valley Campground July 15-­17, 2016 behind California's picturesque Redwood Curtain.

Northern Nights has hit the ground running in 2016 in preparation for the 4th year of

#NNMF. The team has proven that curating established international performers with unique and talented up and comers is the name of the game. All the while providing a safe, sustainable and comfortable attendee experience.

And without further ado, we proudly present NN16’s lineup!:

  • Griz ­ With his spring 2016 tour completely sold out, this will be one of the few spots to catch one of the hottest producers in the game this summer.
  • Amon Tobin/Two Fingers (DJ Set) ­ After his final performance of ISAM 2.0 at Outside Lands last year, Bay Area native, Amon Tobin will be performing music from his project Two Fingers!
  • Claptone Immortal Live ­ Only West Coast appearance after Coachella ­ Claptone Immortal Live is a very different and special experience compared to Claptone’s DJ sets.
