Fête de Marquette

media release: 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 from July 10-12.

We're a free community event that includes some of the world’s best DJs and live acts, immersive decor, art installations, curated vendors, food & drink, and beautiful summer vibes across three days in McPike Park and two nights at the High Noon Saloon.

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. 

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.

Additional regional and local support this year by Autokinetic, Moorhaus, and Dreamgirl.
