When FORM takes over Arcosanti in northern Arizona this weekend, it not only marks the groundbreaking festival’s return after a five-year hiatus but also its 10th anniversary.

And, true to form, the event’s promoters have plenty planned for the occasion.

The unique festival, which last occurred in 2019, takes place from Friday to Sunday and will feature three days of music, art, and mindfulness in the experimental eco-community of Arcosanti north of Phoenix. Also planned: camping, stargazing sessions, yoga classes, pool parties and late-night DJ sets.

FORM 2024’s suitably eclectic lineup is headlined by Beck, Jamie xx, Skrillex, Thundercat, Empress Of, James Blake and Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon. Other performers scheduled for the festival include EDM acts Bonobo and Four Tet, poets Aja Monet and Mustafa Ahmed, electronica band Fcukers and singer-songwriters Jessica Pratt, Empress Of and Angel Olsen.
And FORM’s promoters have added another big name to the lineup: On Thursday, they announced indie rocker St. Vincent will perform a solo set on Saturday night.

The festival has been officially sold out for months, but tickets may still be available through resellers. For more information, check out our complete guide to FORM 2024, which includes details on the full schedule and other details.
