Following a highly acclaimed first year, Of The Trees announces the return of Camp Alderwild, his immersive, nature-centered music gathering, set for August 28–29, 2026 at Telluride Town Park. Framed by the San Juan Mountains, the two-day event enters its second year with a renewed commitment to community, environmental intention, and immersive musical storytelling.
Camp Alderwild debuted in 2025 as a landmark moment for the Telluride music landscape, reintroducing large-scale electronic music to the region for the first time in nearly a decade. The inaugural installment was met with strong critical praise and audience response, drawing attendees from across the country for a thoughtfully curated weekend that balanced electronic performance, outdoor exploration, and low-impact programming. The event emphasized flow over spectacle, positioning the surrounding environment as an essential part of the experience rather than a backdrop.
Building on the foundation set last year, Camp Alderwild 2026 expands the vision while maintaining the principles that defined its debut. The event continues to honor Telluride’s culture, natural setting, and community values, offering a format that feels intentional, spacious, and rooted in place.
Hosted by Of The Trees, Camp Alderwild is driven by immersive sound design that moves organically within natural landscapes. Following a sold-out debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2023, a two-night return in 2024, and the launch of Camp Alderwild in 2025, the project represents a natural extension of his long-standing world-building approach. Known for blending music, visual elements, and environmental awareness into cohesive live experiences, Of The Trees has built a global audience drawn to performances that feel experiential rather than conventional.
For the 2026 edition, Of The Trees will once again serve as the creative anchor of the weekend, headlining both a daytime performance and a closing set. Joining him as the first confirmed artist is Daily Bread, whose soulful, hip-hop-influenced approach brings a contrasting but complementary energy to the lineup. Drawing on jazz guitar roots, crate-digging influences, and hands-on beat construction, Daily Bread blends vintage textures with modern bass, creating a sound that resonates across audiences.
The 2025 edition of Camp Alderwild featured two days of carefully paced performances that emphasized atmosphere and connection rather than rigid scheduling. Attendees experienced daytime sets that unfolded under open skies, followed by immersive nighttime programming that carried the energy into Telluride’s historic downtown. Late-night activations were thoughtfully integrated into existing venues, allowing the town itself to become part of the experience without disruption.
Video highlights and recap footage from the 2025 installment are available through official Camp Alderwild and Of The Trees channels, capturing sweeping daytime crowd moments, intimate mountain-backed performances, and the understated visual production that defined the event’s identity. The recap video has become a key reference point for the event’s tone, documenting a gathering that felt exploratory, communal, and deeply tied to its surroundings.
Camp Alderwild 2026 will again include curated late-night programming throughout downtown Telluride, along with opportunities for hiking, exploration, and engagement with the region’s renowned outdoor terrain. The event remains all-ages, reinforcing its focus on community and accessibility, and camping options will be available for those seeking a fully immersive weekend experience.
Camp Alderwild is co-promoted by Planet Bluegrass and AEG Presents, in partnership with Of The Trees and Kompass Music Group. The collaboration blends Planet Bluegrass’s decades-long history of sustainable, community-driven festivals with AEG’s global live-event expertise. Together, the partners continue to reimagine what an electronic music gathering can look like in Telluride, prioritizing respect for place, intentional curation, and long-term cultural alignment.
Additional artists, programming details, and ticketing information will be announced in the coming months.

The return of Camp Alderwild coincides with a major creative milestone for Of The Trees, who will release his long-awaited studio album Moonglade Park on February 13, 2026, via his imprint Memory Palace. Designed as a fully realized conceptual world, the album blends downtempo electronica, cinematic ambient elements, and experimental hip-hop while exploring themes of environmental awareness, intentional living, and imaginative escape.
Recent releases include “Dolori,” his first solo track in over two years, which became a defining moment in his 2025 live performances, and “Look Into My Eyes,” a collaboration with EARTHGANG. Together, these tracks establish the emotional and sonic foundation of Moonglade Park, positioning the album as a long-form journey rather than a traditional release.
