The event will take place in Silicon Valley this fall
Renowned lifestyle platform and experience curator Pendulum announces a groundbreaking and immersive new festival, Worlds Away. This thrilling, inaugural event, sponsored by Neft Vodka will take place in Silicon Valley on Saturday, October 12th at the legendary Monterey County Fairgrounds, home of the iconic Monterey Pop Festival of 1967. Promising a one-of-a-kind and unforgettable experience, Worlds Away is more than just an event. It is a movement that celebrates the enduring power of art to transcend boundaries and connect people from all walks of life, paying homage to Monterey’s rich cultural legacy while paving the way for the future of festivals.
The inaugural event will transport “travelers” (attendees) to an entirely different world, using cutting-edge technological innovation, never-seen immersive art installations, spectacular light shows, and performances from an incredible lineup of multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning music acts including Lauv, Tiesto, R3HAB, Sam Feldt, Lost Kings, Ayokay and headlining act The Chainsmokers, with more to be announced. Attendees will also have the unique option to participate in B12 IV revitalization shots the following Sunday, October 13th. General tickets will go on sale beginning Friday, August 16th, and pre-sale tickets will be available from August 14th.
Worlds Away is a celebration that blends the timeless spirit of 1967 with the futuristic pulse of tomorrow, where travelers will embark on a journey through diverse thematic landscapes, each designed to inspire and engage while paying homage to the historic Monterey County Fairgrounds venue along the way. This groundbreaking new festival will create a unique blend of artistic expression and technological innovation creative-directed by Vita Motus, whose previous work includes showstopping art installations at Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, and the Super Bowl Halftime Show. These enthralling experiences will carry into the evening as well, with the festival atmosphere shifting when the sun sets from a vibrant daytime celebration to a mesmerizing nocturnal experience containing stunning light displays and holographic projections that will illuminate the fairgrounds, creating an otherworldly ambiance that will captivate the imagination.
