Hundred Waters have announced the return of FORM Festival, a three-day event curated by the band which takes place in Arcosanti, an “urban laboratory” located outside Phoenix, Arizona. This year’s festival will take place May 22-24, and will feature workshops, hikes, pool parties, and performances by Hundred Waters, Majical Cloudz, How to Dress Well, The Antlers, Holly Herndon, Juliana Barwick, the Range, Jacques Greene, Mutual Benefit, Pharmakon, Mas Ysa, and more. 

As with last year, admission to the festival is free, but you won’t be able to just snag a ticket. Prospective attendees have to fill out a questionnaire to be considered; the band will award tickets to guests whose responses they deem “thoughtful and creative” enough. Apply here.

In addition to the music, FORM will feature a live Sound Lab performance where artists can make music with rare Moog synth prototypes. (According to a press release, it’s “the first time that the Sound Lab experience has ever traveled outside of the Moog factory” in Asheville, North Carolina).

Here’s what the band had to say about the festival in a press release:

Festivals are usually fast paced and high stress for artists and attendees. We’re lucky to spend a single day on site and even luckier to have a meaningful conversation with an artist we know or wish to know. With FORM, all of the artists and attendees stay on site together for the entire weekend. We eat together, dance together, share the whole experience together, and when it’s time to part ways, we leave with a very distinct memory of a very distinct time and place. We let the place and the environment shape that experience. As visitors to this beautiful, highly intentional micro city of Arcosanti, our appreciation for every day things like infrastructure, sustenance and community are heightened without even realizing it. Every human interaction more meaningful. Every cup of coffee or tea more delicious with the underlying thought of what it took to get it into your hands. A more present state of consciousness. A place to cultivate ideas.
