Sonic Bloom, the Unified Field, returns June 19-22, for its ninth year, in the beautiful American Safari Ranch of South Park, Colo., just outside Denver and Boulder. The wide-range, fully encompassing Rocky Mountain backdrop and Continental Divide make Sonic Bloom 2014 a magical, breathtaking experience with a one-of-a-kind lineup. This year TIPPER (2 Nights with visuals by Android Jones & Johnathan Singer), Shpongle (Simon Posford DJ Set), OPIUO, The Polish Ambassador, Michal Menert Big Band debut, Ott, Random Rab and enough amazing musicians to make your head spin, will hit the great outdoors with consciousness-expanding new-age music that promotes self-enlightenment and promises a truly family-oriented community experience for music and art lovers.
The four-day camping festival presents the most mystical, soul-awakening, dream-like world of the year with other mind-bending, trance-inducing World musicians like Kalya Scintilla, Dopapod, Zoogma, TheUntz.com Challenge contest winners Filibusta and Ryan Vise, The Sonic Bloom Orchestra with EOTO, Break Science, ZILLA, Dirtwire, ill-esha, Kaminanda, saQi & many surprise guests alongside 40+ more artists. The main stage sound will be the biggest Funktion-One (Official) sound system to grace the outdoors of Colorado (provided by Emersion Events). Sonic Bloom also offers mind-blowing, transformational art installations and live paintings by Michael Garfield, Miranda Lewis, Tyler Ristow, Krystleyez and others.

Sonic Bloom hopes to provide a real home for guests, and they encourage everyone to be conscious of our minds, body and earth at the festival while reducing, reusing and recycling at the ZeroHero recycling stations. Local artisans as well as gift and food vendors provide original, hand-crafted products so that attendees can give back to the community while eating local, organic, GMO-free food with lots of vegetarian options. The festival promotes a “leave no trace” principle, reminding guests to leave the beautiful lands as clean as they found it. This year, the event teams up with Conscious Alliance to offer an ‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drive at this year’s event in Georgetown, Colo. Donating 10 low-sodium, health-oriented, non-perishable food items gets you a free, limited-edition Sonic Bloom poster by Luke Brown.
Sonic Bloom also helps provide “the most awakening bathing experience” for festival attendees, featuring a cedar-lined sound system and multiple peppermint foam jets through the giant walk-in Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Bath Tub, All One Ark. Guests can also opt for the luxurious experience of a private hot shower, The Oasis, a mobile bathhouse providing not only a full service shower and grooming facility but an art installation as well.

Sonic Bloom general-admission guests can camp with friends or car-camp free of charge with a short walk to the festival. VIP tickets and lodging packages include early access to the site, the VIP Bloom Saloon, special surprise VIP DJ sets, free parking or car camping, some drinks and meals and Sonic Bloom apparel and goodies.

I have been more excited about Sonic Bloom 2014 than I can put into words. This amazing lineup and beautiful landscape helps attract conscious, aware attendees from all over the world, and I cannot wait to meet and learn from them. Watching the official Sonic Bloom video gave me chills, as it promotes the things I consider most important to the human soul: to “meet new people, explore, fall in love, experience freedom and share your love.”
The festival hosted the Road to Sonic Bloom Tour with some of their biggest artists touring the U.S. and ending with Kayla Scintilla at NV Nightclub in Knoxville and Janover & reSunator at DiviniTree Yoga & Art Studio in Santa Cruz, Calif.
