Estimated: 2 mins  reading

RISE Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style, unveiling The Sanctuary — a next-level VIP experience crafted with nightlife powerhouse TAO Group Hospitality.

Set against the backdrop of the Mojave Desert from 3 to 5 October, The Sanctuary brings Tao’s signature blend of luxury and party culture to the sprawling expanse of the RISE Festival grounds. Think elevated viewing terraces, plush VIP tables, and tailored bottle service — all offering front-row seats to The Horizon, one of the biggest stages in the U.S.

This year’s lineup includes heavy-hitters RÜFÜS DU SOL, Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Disclosure, Goose, and Ben Böhmer — all ready to light up the desert night under the glow of the world’s largest sky lantern ceremony.

Jason Strauss, Co-CEO of TAO Group Hospitality, said: “The Sanctuary is about more than customized table service — it’s about elevating the moment, curating connection, and offering something unforgettable in this iconic location.”
