Wanderlust is a feast for the body, senses and the mind, and like yoga, music is something that touches on all three. Music results in peace, concentration, relaxation, spiritual elevation and also forms a common bond between large groups of people. Creating community is one of Wanderlust's core goals, and we've selected artists who we believe will be the muse and soundtrack for our growing community.
At Wanderlust, you'll find a mix of styles and genres ranging from indie rock to electronic to alternative world to kirtan. From the outside, it may seem strange to present the kirtan master Jai Uttal on the same day as, say, the mashup DJ Girl Talk, but when one experiences the effect of their music on the audience – both reverence and revelry – you get to the heart of what we're trying to achieve.
While many of our performers are well-known artists – last year's performers included Common, Andrew Bird, Girl Talk, and Jenny Lewis – part of the Wanderlust experience is discovery. Wanderlust is a place where the band or artist that you've never even heard of might leave the deepest impression. It's also a place where a well-known artist feels empowered to depart from the script.
LATE NIGHT After the Pulse closes down at midnight, Wanderlust's hearty late-night revelers can continue to get down at the Olympic Plaza Bar. We'll have two separate rooms going until 2 a.m. with dueling DJ sets in dueling styles. Get your freak on – but make sure you book your yoga classes later in the day!
