Music and Art:

With every aspect of 3DL being about taking the whole experience to “LEVEL UP!” status, it’s no mystery as to why we have created such a powerful and internationally known Music Line-UP.
The Human Experience – EarthCry – Luminaries – Kellee Maize – I, Star – HEISS – Scott Huckabay – DrumSpyder – Srikalogy – ElectroChemical – Ashlantis – Stratosphere – Antandra – Sacral Crown – Jenna Gilmore – Colin Martin – The Vulgarian – Sunny Day – Ascentient – Spaceship Earth – Soham – EREX and many others.

We are so blessed with this cast of amazing musicians, and what is really exciting is that we have, once again, managed to invite many local artists to come share the stage with some of the most known conscious artists in
the world! This is part of our dedication to the Asheville Community.
We are all fully supported on our collective mission to “Level UP!”
This year’s Three Days of Light Gathering is a collective “Level Up”, a heartfelt soul-singing cry of joy and collective evolution. Join attendees from all over the country for what is uniquely an Asheville experience of art, music, food and community. If you are bored with the increasingly drab festival format copied across the nation, 3DL is a place for you to have a new kind of experience and realize that “One event really can change your life.”

And one more thing about 3DL… it’s accessible. With tickets starting less than $150 online, and only $222 at the Box office (and this includes both camping or indoor lodging and event passes) Three Days of Light is about making it happen. We could charge more… but why?
