Alesso (BODY HI) & Mau P to Headline Framework In The Desert Festival Afterparty

Framework, one of the world’s leading independent purveyors of underground music experiences, has just unveiled the first phase of headliners for its fourth annual festival afterparty Framework In The Desert. Returning to the Atlantic Aviation airport hangar in Thermal, CA on Friday, April 11 – Sunday, April 13, Framework In The Desert has earned a renowned reputation as the premier desert afterparty option, with lineups featuring world-class artists who are also playing the iconic Indio festival just a few miles away.

“Framework is back at the Atlantic Aviation hangar in Thermal, CA, bringing our staple production and musical artists to the desert. After unforgettable moments like Chris Lake x Fisher, Black Coffee b2b The Martinez Brothers, Peggy Gou and last year’s standout sets from Charlotte de Witte, Dom Dolla, and John Summit, Framework in the Desert has cemented itself as a pivotal extension of the festival experience. In 2025, expect a fresh lineup of global talent and forward-thinking artists, all set in an atmosphere for those craving something beyond the main stage. This year, we’re adding exciting new elements while keeping the unique vibe that’s made this event a fan favorite.” – Kobi Danan (Framework co-founder)

For this year’s prestigious Framework In The Desert headliners, Framework (who also curates Coachella’s indoor electronic Yuma Tent) has handpicked Dutch tech-house superstar Mau P (Saturday) and legendary Swedish powerhouse Alesso (Sunday), who will be playing as his underground alias BODY HI. Friday headliners to be announced soon.

The Saturday and Sunday lineups are rounded out by a bevy of talented support acts. On Saturday, April 12, Mau P will be supported by acclaimed American DJ/producer Max Styler and British genre-blender Interplanetary Criminal.

Framework In The Desert 2025 will also feature the Long Feng Art Car as its stage – marking the structure’s first public event appearance outside of Burning Man. Debuting at Burning Man 2024, Long Feng is a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art mutant vehicle inspired and designed by a collective of contortionists, dancers, and performing artists. The structure embodies the spirit of a circus performer, equipped with a myriad of rigs, LEDs, and sound systems – a marvel of an edifice that will elevate Framework In The Desert’s DJ performances into a ‘you-had-to-be-there’ visual experience.
