We are gathering the tribes together again, for a special late summer edition of the 24th Annual How Weird Street Faire. Located in the reemerging heart of downtown San Francisco, there will be a sensational spectacle that will rival the days of old. Join people in colorful costumes, who have come together to celebrate peace, creativity, and weirdness. There will be a lot going on! With eight stages of world-class electronic music, spectacular performances, fantastic foods, unique vendors, cannabis experience, visionary art, and inspiring creativity. So Stoked / PLUR Alliance as well as Secret Psychedelica are hosting one of the main stages at the festival. Come join us after at DNA Lounge for an Official After Party with four stages of music and art filled with a wide range of talented performers from the Bay Area and far beyond! At a time when headline "DJs" shamelessly play pre-programmed - even pre-recorded - sets and the masses mindlessly embrace the charade, Dieselboy - The Destroyer - stands out as a rare virtuoso of the art and craft of live DJing. His complex, high voltage, take-no-prisoners sets have created legions of loyal die-hard fans around the world. Arguably no other DJ mixes live - on four decks - with more precision, imagination, intensity, energy and finesse. An inspiration for generations of DJs, Dieselboy's longevity and relevance in a mercurial industry is a tribute to his relentless drive to create "amazing" experiences for his fans in their headphones and at his infamously explosive live shows. Mark XTC started his DJ-ing career at the tender age of 15 playing in places such as Fantazia, Mythology and The legendary Hacienda, where in the late 80's he won the North West DMC DJ Championships. Producing with The Mix Factory, 'Take Me Away' was one of the first "rave anthem's" to hit the UK singles chart. Playing Glastonbury, Parklife, Warehouse Project, Fabric, Metropolis and many other dance institutions around the world on a regular basis, his past body of work and his ability to still push dance culture forward has cemented Mark XTC as a dance music legend. One of the hottest hyperpop artists in the world and the "cutest alien in the club", 6arelyhuman returns to DNA Lounge for another scenecore performance. Melodic emo who creates dance, pop, and club music, they rose to prominence thanks to the 2023 song "Hands Up!" with Pixel Hood and kets4eki.
