Driftmore Music & Arts Festival

Driftmore Music & Arts Festival Drift more and discover the freedom of open fields, real people, and the sounds of tomorrow.

12/13/2025

TOMORROW is our last chance dance by the light of the Smokestack fire while the walls are reanimated by the legend Conrad Hellman, the only VJ we’ve trusted to transform the space properly. Conrad has spent years honing his craft, using motion tracking technology to control visuals in real time. This will be the last time we’ll get to experience the smokestack basement transported to another dimension.

We’ve curated an all-star lineup of Driftmore veterans including Wisconsin-based experimental bass music aficionado Molokaibass, underground Milwaukee dubstep label boss WxstedFxntxsy, Driftmore & Allegro Audio founding fathers Pagliaro b2b Hoax., plus rare sets from Dubuque’s favorite live experimental analog noise artist Deadcube, the tech-house-adjacent dancefloor champion Earl Dearnhardt, soundcloud-goldmine-finding heavy hitter Trash Gordon, and the man, the myth, the curator of all things Driftmore, IMMERSA.

Doors at 7. Music at 8. Open decks on the main the floor from 8-10. Raffle prizes. Drink specials. $15 admission. One last chance to experience the air wiggle in Dubuque’s home for underground dance music. 🥲🍾💃🪩🕺

Can’t wait to see you at the stack 💨

On top of playing support slots at some of the Midwest’s top venues, making his Los Angeles and Chicago debut in 2021, and then his first headlining shows in 2022, he has earned support on original tunes and remixes from artists like Jauz, Diplo, Borgore, AC Slater, Dillon Francis, Benzi, and many more.

Warming up the rooftop will be Dubuque natives T-Flow, Earl Dearnhardt, and IMMERSA. After midnight, we'll head downstairs for a bass-heavy afterparty with Driftmore OG Hoax. and Minneapolis DnB producer Brandon Berg.

The first 25 people in the door will be entered into a raffle to win t-shirts & drink tickets.

We're ending the Summer in a big way and can't wait to celebrate with you all!
