Head Trip resumes Sunday, Oct. 11, after Saturday’s storm-forced shutdown, with Calvin Harris added to a reworked second-day lineup that now stacks three of EDM’s most influential acts in succession. The change matters: organizers adjusted start times and streaming plans so fans who missed the abrupt finale can still catch a near–all-star run of dance-music sets live or online.
What changed for day two
Organizers moved the schedule up by 25 minutes and confirmed Calvin Harris will perform on the festival’s final day at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The revised running order places Harris alongside Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia, creating a consecutive block of headline electronic sets that underscores the event’s focus on mainstream and legacy EDM figures.
| Time (local) | Artist / Slot | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3:05 p.m. | DJ Harvey | Earlier-than-planned opener for day two |
| — | The Blessed Madonna | Dance-floor DJ set |
| — | Dom Dolla b2b Kettama | B2B set pairing two producers |
| — | Skrillex | One of the night’s major headliners |
| — | Calvin Harris | Added to the card after night one was cut short |
| — | Swedish House Mafia | Late-night closer among EDM icons |
Why the schedule shift matters
Saturday’s program ended early after officials issued a lightning warning as Tropical Storm Rachel approached Southern California. The power cut came during a set from Under Construction (Fisher and Chris Lake) and halted the evening while Lake’s track “Turn off the Lights” was playing — a moment that quickly became a talking point among attendees and on social media.
The revised second-day plan aims to make up for lost time and give both on-site and remote audiences a fuller experience, with three big-name electronic acts appearing back to back. For fans tracking the broader scene, that lineup highlights how legacy DJs and acts continue to anchor large-scale dance events.
Festival format and site highlights
Head Trip follows Goldenvoice’s single-stage festival model used for gatherings such as Desert Trip and Power Trip, concentrating audiences around one main stage with multiple satellite viewing points. The stage and production were developed by High Scream, the Romain Pissenem–led creative company behind projects including Ibiza’s [UNVRS].
The festival site also features the Sunflower Soundsystem, a tented club area curated by Floating Points. While day two programming for Sunflower hasn’t been announced, day one featured sets from Theo Parrish, Large Professor and Floating Points himself.
- Live stream access: Head Trip is available free on Apple Music, with additional feeds on Apple Music’s TikTok account, Twitch and YouTube.
- Audio-only: The festival also airs on Apple Music 1, Apple Music Club and via TuneIn (carrying the Apple Music Club stream), plus SiriusXM.
That mix of broadcast and streaming options ensures people who couldn’t attend in person because of weather or sold-out tickets still have multiple ways to follow the performances live.
What to watch for
The most notable narrative heading into Sunday is the sequence featuring Skrillex, Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia — three acts central to the mainstreaming of EDM. Their back-to-back appearances give Head Trip a summit-like feel: rather than a single headliner, the event presents a concentrated showcase of stars who shaped the U.S. dance-music boom.
For industry observers, the festival also serves as a test of large-format, single-stage production in unpredictable weather and shows how promoters balance safety, schedule integrity and audience expectations.
Tickets and livestream links are available through Head Trip’s official channels and Apple Music’s platforms for those who want to tune in without attending in person.
