Returning for its 7th consecutive year this August 15-16 at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, Deep Tropics Festival reinforces its position as “North America’s greenest festival” with a high-impact blend of environmental innovation and cutting-edge electronic music.
Led by co-founder Blake Atchison, the festival has evolved into a polished production that pairs an exciting international and local music lineup with unparalleled sustainability practices. Highlights include a zero single-use plastic policy, no on-site trash cans (encouraging a pack-in/pack-out mindset), partnerships with TerraCycle to divert “impossible” waste streams, and a fully carbon-neutral footprint through tree planting offsets and detailed carbon tracking.
Deep Tropics kicks off early on August 14 with a Sustainability Summit at Studio 615, offering attendees a chance to engage with eco-focused talks, curated food options, and live music that energizes the festival’s green ethos.
This Year’s Lineup Highlights
- Subtronics – global bass titan and headline act
- Amémé – rising star bringing fresh electronic vibes
- LF System – crowd favorites with infectious beats
- Maddy O’Neal – soul-infused dancefloor energy

After-hours parties extend the festival’s signature mix of bass and beats deep into the Music City night, fostering a community that celebrates music while respecting the planet.
