Friday night’s Rhonda show will be hosted by Black, along with Brazilian star Pabllo Vittar, with sets from Jayda G, SG Lewis, Purple Disco Machine and Rhonda’s longstanding residents Goddollars and Paradise.

On Saturday, Desert Air — which hosted its first-ever festival this past December in Palm Springs, Calif. — will feature Black Coffee playing back to back with The Martinez Brothers along with Peggy Gou and SOHMI, a Billboard pick for dance artists to watch this year.

And on Sunday, you can see Damian Lazarus b2b with Michael Bibi, Bedouin, Dixon and Layla Benitez playing at Art of the Wild.

All three events will happen at the Ross Aviation Thermal Airport in Thermal, Calif., roughly 15 minutes from the festival site in Indio. (This site is the former home of the once-buzzy, celebrity-laden Coachella afterparty Neon Carnival.)

Many of the artists playing this party trifecta are also playing Coachella itself, with the festival once again hosting the who’s who of dance music across multiple stages.
