Together Festival

Sept 25–29, 2019

Nerdier than Coachella, but less wild than Silicon Valley’s Burning Man, the Together Festival has distinguished itself by linking innovation in electronic dance music with experiments in contemporary art and technology. Forums on the latest advances in computer science go down next to raves on packed dance floors. The breadth of the festival is matched by the diversity of names that headline the event, with D.J.s from Japan, the U.K., New Zealand, and beyond heading to Boston each year. This September marks the 10th year of Together Boston. —C.J.F.
