Body Language Festival Returns to Phoenix

Body Language, a boutique house music festival known for its gritty, underground atmosphere, returns to Phoenix for a two-night run on October 24–25. This year’s edition staged at Warehouse 215 in Downtown Phoenix, an intimate, understated backdrop for the weekend’s headline house acts. Since its inception in 2015, Body Language has been a prominent staple in the Phoenix house scene, bringing world class artists to the city while simultaneously uplifting local talent.

Body Language Line Up & More

Headlining the weekend are UK duo Gorgon City and a B2B set from bass house legends Tchami and AC Slater, with a supporting roster stacked with house and bass heavy names including Amal Nemer, Ayybo, Kream, Marco Strous, MichaelBM, Noizu, Rafael, Ranger Trucco, Edward Joseph and Valerie Stoss. Promoters are positioning Body Language as a tightly curated alternative to larger mainstream festivals, leaning into high quality, deep cut bookings and a purely house dialed program.

The announcement marks a comeback of sorts. The Body Language brand last year canceled its planned festival amid undisclosed “unforeseen circumstances,” leaving fans disappointed and eager for a return to the dancefloor. Organizers and local partners have since shifted the festival from Phoenix Raceway to the Eastlake Park underpass, and then recently to Warehouse 215 for this fall’s edition.

Relentless Beats and local promoters have been rolling out the promotional push across social channels and ticketing platforms, with two-day passes and single-day options available through the festival’s official site. Capacity will reflect the boutique ambitions prioritizing sound quality and production value over crowd size, which should appeal to dedicated house fans making their way to the valley for the weekend.

For fans who missed out when last year’s dates were tabled, this fall’s Body Language promises a compact, high energy experience held together by headline talent and an unmistakable underground venue; a signal that Phoenix’s dance music scene is continuing to expand its calendar and creative footprint.
