    The hurricane did not stop Elements Music Festival this past weekend as the event celebrated its seventh annual edition in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, welcoming over 18,000 attendees with a diverse range of over 100 music artists from Thursday, August 8th to Sunday, August 11th.

    The festival which was forced to close its gates on Friday, August 9th due to the hurricane, quickly recovered from the lost day by adjusting its set times on Saturday and hosting an unparalleled scale of the event that it has ever done since its inception.

    Featuring an eclectic range of artists performing a myriad of genres across its four “element” stages, these were the most memorable performances from Saturday and Sunday at the festival.

    Justin Martin at Air Stage (Saturday)

    Featuring a mix of melodic vocals combined with bass drops, and high BPMs, Justin Martin drew in swarms of festival goers at his set as tree houses were filled with dancers and C02 erupted into the crowd giving off the set an “airy” upbeat appeal.

    Fly With Us at Fire Stage (Saturday)

    AC Slater & Chris Lorenzo teamed up to deliver a heated collaborative set under their collaborative project named Fly With Us.  As expected, the duo set the fire stage ablaze with buoyant bass energy that roared the crowd into cheers. With a fireworks display providing its backdrop, the moment became one of the most memorable of the weekend.

    EXCISION – Fire Stage (Saturday)

    Excision closed out Day 2 of the festival with a head-shaking performance that shocked bass through the crowd and rattled any cars parked near in sight. His set pumped the audience with mosh pit energy and its effects could be felt well into the next day.

    Barclay Crenshaw – Earth Stage (Saturday) / Water Stage (Sunday)

    Delivering a surprise set at 2 PM on Sunday at the festival’s water stage, Barclay Crenshaw treated fans to not one, but two performances over the festival weekend. His regularly scheduled Saturday performance at the festival’s earth stage crossed a multitude of genres mixing bass with high BPMs to grooving raps and hip-hop vibes.

    Chris Lake B2B Cloonee – Fire Stage (Sunday)

    Elements Music Festival welcomed Chris Lake back to its Fire Stage for this year’s 2024 edition as he went back-to-back with Cloonee in a collaborative set that delivered a range of new IDs that mixed house with their iconic tech house elements.  The duo is known to collaborate on releases with the most recent being Cloonee’s remix of Chris Lake’s “In The Yuma.”  However, it appears there will be more to come from this vivacious duo based on the energy and the way they worked seamlessly together throughout their set.

    Bob Moses – Air Stage (Sunday)

    Bob Moses delivered a club set in the heart of the woods on the festival’s Air Stage on Sunday, setting a different tone to the festival grounds with pure euphoric energy.  The duo performed some of their most notable tracks included “Inner Light” with Elderbrook, “Love Brand New” (Eagles & Butterflies Remix), and “Enough to Believe” (Jamie Jones Remix). Closing out the festival with rejuvenating positivity, the set finalized the weekend with an all-encompassing high. 

    After the festival, Elements shared an update on their Instagram page on how they will work next year to minimize wait times and fix box office issues. They are sending out a survey on Friday to all ticket holders asking for feedback on improving the festival for next year’s edition.

    Elements Music & Arts Festival 2024 recovers from its shutdown of Day 1

    Remnants of Hurricane Debby forced a shutdown of Elements Music & Arts Festival on Friday, August 9, as Long Pond, Pennsylvania experienced tornado warnings and torrential downpour that accumulated over three and a half inches of rain between Thursday, August 8 into Friday, August 9th.

    The storm, largely out of the festival’s control, flooded the campsites and shut down the box office for anyone planning to attend the first day of the event. Quickly responding, Elements Music & Arts Festival opened safe enclosed areas for patrons who needed shelter with blankets and water for those who came early to attend the pre-party with Desert Hearts on Thursday.

    Despite the weather conditions, Elements Music Festival managed to recover from the shut-down by still making the experience worthwhile for its festival-goers. The festival opened its box office an hour earlier on Saturday, August 10th and adjusted all of the set times of the artists to perform later on in the day. Justin Martin who was originally scheduled to perform at 3 PM, had his set time adjusted to perform later at 7 PM. 

    By extending the daily course of events, this gave the festival the ability to spread mulch and woodchips around the site to absorb the rainfall to make the festival grounds safer and easier to walk through. It also provided festival-goers the much needed time to pick up their wrist bands and set up their campsites without missing many of the performances on Saturday.  These sets included EXCISION, Slander “Before Dawn” set, Clozee, Fly With Us, Matroda, Barclay Crenshaw, Justin Martin, Dr. Fresch, and LSDREAM.
