The Heart of Rise and Vibes Music: Community, Adventure, and Nature

The Rise and Vibes Music Festival offers a beloved gathering of music lovers, adventure seekers, and free spirits. This annual music and camping festival that unfolds within the natural beauty in the Animas River Valley is founded on principles of unity, camaraderie, and the shared joy of live music. 

Welcoming attendees from across the country, the Vibes Music Festival offers performers from around the world. Expect a carefully curated lineup with everything from roots and reggae to rock, dub, and electronica, all in a setting that brings you closer to nature –– and each other.

2025 Lineup and Performances 

Be sure to reserve your Rise and Vibes tickets early because this year’s lineup promises to blow you away. The Movement steps forward as the official (formerly mystery!) headliner, ready to ignite the stage at Tico Time once again with a mind-blowing performance that fuses “alternative reggae” with a bit of rock and hip-hop.

True to its mission for self-expression and communal love, this carefully curated music festival celebrates music, dancing, and joyful human connection amidst the beauty of nature. You’ll be inspired by over 30 performers across three stages, including The Original Wailers, Albuquerque’s reggae-rock-influenced four-piece band Vibestrong, and Australian musician and worldwide rapcore street performer, Dub FX. 

Get Ready to Dance

Also performing at this vibes music festival will be high-energy reggae, rock, hip-hop band, The Boomroots, from Santa Fe, New Mexico, plus dance beat and harmony throwdowns from sister duo, Rising Appalachia, with their eclectic southern roots mix of Americana, folk, and soul with a big touch of global. 

Liberate Yourself

Further filling out the good rise and vibes feelings are reggae-inspired freestyle rapper hip-hop artist Lily Fangz, Native Leaves out of Salt Lake City, and Australian-born, Jamaican-based Nattali Rize –– playing liberating roots reggae, world beat, dance/electronic “New Era” music to inspire conscious thinking and living.

Celebrate World Togetherness

With all this and more, you’re sure to have a jammin’ feel-good time at this music and camping festival. Rejoice in our creative and warm welcoming festival community under the sun and relaxing by the river. You’ll feel the Rise and Vibes music atmosphere all around you.
