Format Festival has shared its inaugural artist lineup for the Sept. 23 through 25 events at the private Sugar Creek Airstrip in Bentonville, Ark. The three-day festival hosts an all-star bill of performers, which represents some of the best music across genres. 

Topping the festival lineup are Rüfüs Du Sol, Phoenix, Khruangbin, Beach House, The War On Drugs, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, The Flaming Lips, Jungle and Herbie Hancock. Sets will also be performed by Richie Hawtin, Thundercat, Fatboy Slim, Moses Sumney, Elle King, Robert Glasper, Seth Troxler, Jamila Woods, Third World and many more. 

The festival also includes performances, installations, and art experiences by world-renowned artists Doug Aitken, Nick Cave, Jacolby Satterwhite, Pia Cami, Marinella Senatore, Charlap Hyman & Herrero and more. 

Format Festival is located on 250 acres of lush forested land, just six minutes outside of downtown Bentonville, Ark., in a region commonly referred to as “Oz.” The festival plot hosts hidden forest enclaves, camping, an open-air pavilion, a converted disco barn and a multi-room speakeasy. In addition to music and art, the festival will include curated food vendors, impromptu dance processions, experimental soundscapes, light shows and therapeutic workshops. 

“Format represents a new type of festival, placing visual and performing arts on the same plane as live music, creating a fluid and unified experience. Visitors will encounter large-scale installation art and unconventional venues created by a range of internationally recognized artists, alongside an eclectic roster of musical acts. We hope to foster curiosity and discovery, and produce a memorable event on this beautiful, hidden stretch of land in Bentonville,” shared Festival creators Elizabeth Edelman, Mafalda Millies and Roya Sachs. 

Tickets for the first-ever Format Festival are on sale now.
