Wednesday, October 15 (Bentonville, AR) - This past weekend, the Momentaryhosted Momentous, a two-day electronic music festival that drew thousands of attendees. Festival highlights included standout performances from legendary bass music pioneers Flux Pavilion b2b and Doctor P, celebrated ambient music producer Tycho, and bass innovators Yheti b2b Toadface. Additionally, the festival featured electric performances from Baby Weight, MEMBA, Mickman, Nala, SHIMA, Madam X, The Polish Ambassador, Tripp St, and more.

Thousands of festivalgoers roamed the Momentary’s campus, creating an energetic and immersive atmosphere. The festival also featured immersive art installations, including Touki Delphine’s FIREBIRD, which had fans donning silver and gold capes and becoming part of the performance, and Relative Intensity Noise by Rin Peisert, a multi-sensory work combining movement, sound, and a percussion sculpture built from found objects.

Attendees also wandered the glowing alleys of the Night Market, filled with fusion cuisine and playful pop-ups. This year’s community stage, curated by collectives like Backroom, Haus of Untz, Vibes Creation Co., and Impact DNB, showcased outstanding local talent while celebrating Bentonville’s thriving EDM culture. Next year, the festival is set to return to Bentonville on November 6–7, 2026, showcasing another vibrant mix of performances and creativity.

The Momentary, which celebrated its fifth anniversary earlier this year, was recently named one of “The 25 best places to go in the South in 2025” (Southern Living), and continues to establish itself as a premier music destination for both Grammy-winning icons and rising stars alike. This weekend, the Momentary will host its final show for their 2025 Live on the Green Concert series featuring Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors. This year’s series has featured performances from GRAMMY Best New Artist nominee Megan Moroney, 3X GRAMMY-nominated rap powerhouse GloRilla, GRAMMY-winning group Alabama Shakes, banda icon Pancho Barraza, indie dream-pop band Japanese Breakfast, and reggae legends Ziggy Marley & Burning Spear.
