Welcome to the world of electronic euphoria. SoCal is home to the premiere all-trance lineup for the Dreamstate music festival. The festival is known for its amazing beats and iconic location at Queen Mary Waterfront.
Electronic music gurus organize the event at Insomniac Events. The first festival was held in 2015 at the National Orange Show Event Center in California. Dreamstate has hit up various spots from San Francisco to Washington, and they’ve been spreading the love of music all over!

Before November, there is plenty of time to get informed about Dreamstate and the festival lineup. These are some of the FAQs from social media.
- If 2024 is your first Dreamstate, you may want to know that you won’t be able to see all the artists. It is a multistage festival, and some artists will overlap. The Dream is the main stage; most headliners and prominent names are here.
- Some years, it can get colder at night. Make sure you bring warm and comfortable clothes. The sets are long, so grab comfortable shoes as well.

Dreamstate Music Festival Reviews
Dreamstate is among the most beloved EDM festivals, and it’s not hard to see why. Here are a few Dreamstate reviews:
“While Insomniac has held other events at The Queen Mary waterfront, Dreamstate was the perfect fit. The ship and festival grounds were lit up enchantingly and complimented the euphoric genre that is trance, creating a wonderland wherever Dreamers wandered. Edmtrain rates Dreamstate SoCal 2023 as stellar.”
Jessica Gail on Edmtrain.
“There is nothing like a night out in Seattle, Portland or even up in Canada. But to my surprise, just for a little while, with Seattle Trance Family all around me, in San Bernardino, CA… it felt like home.
Kiera Thompson on Dance Music NW.
So thank you Insomniac, for giving me the best weekend I could have asked for as my first Insomniac Adventure. Dreamstate SoCal 2017 was like a walk through a dream.”
It seems everyone enjoys the festival, but some things could improve. You should be wary of pickpockets.
“I really enjoyed it. Such a great vibe. The organized pickpockets are one of the few issues I’m aware of.”
