We don’t know what it is about Saturday, June 20, but it’ll be a day when local EDM fans will have the time of their lives.
Meow Wolf Houston’s Radio Tave will host a full-building electronic music takeover. The interactive art/funhouse will debut Monstercat Danceportation, an immersive, late-night music festival bringing together internationally-recognized electronic artists with Houston’s rising local scene. Attendees can move through the exhibition and discover performances woven throughout the space, from high-energy DJ sets broadcasting from the exhibition station’s radio booth to bass-heavy moments echoing through hidden worlds and large-scale headline performances inside the venue's Theta Theater.
Born from the successful Danceportation series at Meow Wolf Denver, which has sold out multiple editions since launching in 2022, Danceportation arrives in collaboration with the Vancouver-based Monstercat, one of electronic music’s most influential indie labels. The lineup includes Trivecta, SMOAKLAND, Nostalgix, SPORTMODE, DLOW, GRIN, BÜRDTE b2b COACH HART, DEGEN, and SWADED SOUNDS.
“This is the first event of its kind we’ve ever created at Meow Wolf Houston,” said operations manager Miranda Allmon. “Danceportation transforms every corner of Radio Tave into an active music environment. Each space inside the exhibition takes on its own energy throughout the night.”
On the same day, AHC Productions will present Space City Wubfest, billed as “Houston’s first-ever bass music festival,” over at Raven Tower. According to the website (where you can find a coloring contest where the winner receives two VIP tickets), the 12-hour event will be “a four-stage takeover featuring two main bass stages, a riddim stage inside the tower (with the promise to deliver "filth and high-energy madness), and a rooftop stage bringing house and techno vibes under the sky.”
In fitting festival fashion, Wubfest will also include a vendor village, food trucks, face painters, massage tables, and tie-dye bars. Live flow performances will take place throughout the day, along with a flow arts workshop where attendees can learn, spin, and level up their skills.
You can spend the day hanging at Wubfest, which starts at 11 am, and later head over to Meow Wolf, which will open its doors at 10 pm. Both events will be 21+ only. Wubfest tickets are here, and Danceportation tickets are over here.
