Join us for a weekend escape in the Berkshires at Camp Timber Trails, just a couple hours from NYC and Boston.
At Onset, we're fostering connection and community through music, art, nature, and performance. Our festival is built from the ground up, with the creators being musicians and performers themselves.
Lineup
Common Thread brings the funk from every angle: soulful samples, hip hop grooves, leftfield bass, and deep electronic cuts. French-born and Brooklyn-based, he threads together playful selections and feel-good low-end into a set built to keep the dancefloor smiling, moving, and locked in together.
Vincent Antone – our Saturday headliner – is a talented producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist who combines elements of future funk, hip hop, bass, and everything in between. Playing dozens of the biggest festivals in the U.S., and opening for artists like GRiZ and Pretty Lights, Vincent Antone is one of the fastest-rising names in dance music.
