GRiZ and Subtronics Bring GRiZTRONICS GORGE Back for Four Days

Artist-Curated Festival Returns to Washington

GRiZ and Subtronics have announced the return of GRiZTRONICS GORGE, expanding the bass music festival to four days at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State. The collaborative event represents a reunion of two producers known for pushing electronic music's boundaries through carefully curated live experiences.

The festival builds on the duo's shared approach to sound design and performance. GRiZ blends live saxophone with electronic production, a crossover style refined through albums like "Say It Loud" and releases on Pretty Lights Records. Subtronics brings heavy, experimental bass music and intricate sound design, creating sets that balance technical complexity with raw energy.

Four-Day Format at a Bucket-List Venue

The extended timeline allows for deeper programming than traditional three-day festivals. Both artists are known for narrative-driven performances, and the additional day provides more room to showcase diverse supporting acts while maintaining thematic cohesion across the event.

The Gorge Amphitheatre, carved into the Columbia River landscape, offers one of North America's most striking natural settings for electronic music. Its acoustic properties and panoramic views have made it a destination venue for festival attendees.

Artist-Driven Festivals Gain Ground

The return of GRiZTRONICS GORGE reflects a broader shift toward artist-curated festivals in bass music. These events prioritize artistic vision over commercial lineups, allowing producers to shape the experience around their creative philosophies. The decision to bring the festival back in expanded form suggests strong community response to its inaugural run.

Lineup details and specific programming will be announced in the coming weeks. The festival is scheduled for 2026 at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State.
