The 14th edition of Musique Électronique is here! A true community focused event celebrating underground techno, house, electro, and ambient music alongside the renowned ‘La Fête de Marquette’ festival right in the heart of Madison, WI.
Join us for three days in McPike Park and two nights at the High Noon Saloon! We're a free community event that includes some of the world’s best DJ’s and live acts, immersive decor, art installations, curated vendors, food & drink, beautiful summer vibes, and oh so much more!
This year's festival lineup includes major pillars of underground dance music from all around the globe with headlining performances by Special Request on Friday night, Steve Rachmad aka Sterac on Saturday night, as well as Jimpster and Anthony Rother on Sunday. We’re also incredibly honored to welcome Cinthie, The Carry Nation, Stacey Hotwaxx Hale, Dustin Zahn, Paurro, & Infinity Machine.
We have official after parties both Friday and Saturday night starting immediately after the festival ends, just a couple short blocks away at the High Noon Saloon. Limited 2-night passes for just $60 are available now! At these after parties you’ll get the chance to dance to extended sets by Special Request (Friday) and Sterac w/ Dustin Zahn (Saturday). These after parties do sell out, so don't forget to grab your tickets now!
Festival programming also includes a very special edition of Madison’s favorite queer dance party, Hot Summer Gays on Saturday afternoon. Then on Sunday we start our programming with our ambient:hours project headlined by an incredibly special live performance by Infinity Machine (feat. Juan Maclean & Gee Dee) with regional support from Lorna Dune. This is a perfect time to get cozy on a blanket, breathe in the serene side of Musique Électronique, drift off into the clouds above you, and/or co-create with us by drawing, painting, writing, etc.
La Fete De Marquette is produced by the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center. All funds raised from Musique Électronique at La Fete de Marquette benefit the vital services, resources, and community opportunities offered by the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center.
A giant heartfelt thank you to our local sponsors at the MadCat Pet Supplies, Schmelzer Paint Company, & Willy Street Co-op.
