Dogs in a Pile, fresh off two sold out nights at Brooklyn Bowl Williamsburg will host their first ever music festival, Burning Daylight, over Memorial Day weekend at Wonderland Forest in Lafayette.

The New Jersey jam band will be joined by Pink Talking Fish, Taper’s Choice, Mikaela Davis, Kendall Street Company, Sneezy, Annie in the Water and Natalie Brooke, from May 23-25.

Dogs in a Pile (DIAP) – Jeremy Kaplan, keyboards; Brian Murray, guitar; Joey Babick, drums; Jimmy Law, guitar; and Sam Lucid, bass – have made waves over the last few years, drawing fans coast-to-coast and becoming one of the biggest rising names in the Northeast jam scene.

DIAP join a growing fraternity of jam bands who have gone on to hold their own music festival, among them Phish (most recently Mondegreen), Disco Biscuits (Camp Bisco, Biscoland), Twiddle (Tumbledown), moe. (moe.down, snoe.down), and Papadosio (Summer Sequence).

DIAP will perform each of the three nights of the festival, as they transform Wonderland Forest into a vibrant haven with the magic that makes any festival atmosphere welcoming.

Mister Cam, an Instagram personality and jam scene ‘funnyman’ will host Burning Daylight. This follows a recent collaboration between Dogs and Mister Cam on Jam Cruise 21, where they teamed up for an improv set, of music and jokes.

Dogs will continue their festival summer, with performances at Bonnaroo, All Good Now, Mountain Jam, Zootown, Levitate, 4848, Secret Dreams, Rhythms on the Rio, Beanstalk and Bender Jamboree.

Camping and ticket packages are available now for Burning Daylight and can be purchased here.
