Like Neil Young once said, we can go to outer space whenever we want. And we highly recommending doing so next month at Desert Daze. Not just any outer space, of course—we’re talking The Outer Space.
Today Noisey is pleased to announce The Outer Space, Desert Daze’s extensive slate of far-out side programming and activities to accompany the sonic madness of its musical lineup. We’re also getting in on the action by presenting an Optical Retrospective and Q&A with DEVO’s Gerald Casale, as well as advanced screenings of VICELAND’s upcoming series “Kentucky Ayahuasca.” That’ll all go down in The Theater, a cerebral home to screenings and talks with artists like Steve Albini and Damien Echols “High Magick” in Conversation.

There’ll also be a mellow space to escape the crowds inside The Sanctuary, plus a swath of special late night programming that includes an experimental collaboration between Kikagaku Moyo + Boogarins + JJUUJJUU, as well as full sets by Deap Vally, Lumerians, and Prettiest Eyes (plus more surprises to come).
