After cheating at every turn, yet forgiven from his selection during his sunrise set Claude VonStroke shared about this year’s campout, “thank you everyone for coming out to Dirtybird Campout. This year we had super loud volume, two new areas and even more fun. Everyone played so great this year and thanks to all the incredible fans who threw down.
The Head Counselor continues, “I took my son to his first Dirtybird Campout and we created incredible memories together. i never thought i would be able to do this job long enough to involve my kids. A very special thanks to Mr. Goldie, it took me 7 years to get goldie to Dirtybird. I really appreciate the huge effort he made to come out and the massive inpact he made on our audience. See you all in 2023!”

Keep your fingers crossed for sets from the weekend to be released on Dirtybird.
Kevin Knapp shared, “Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Such a great time at Dirtybird Campout this past weekend. Hutchtastic and I tried something different this year and decided to do the entire weekend sober and it didn’t disappoint!
For me, this event is an amazing moment to connect with other artists I love and DB is a big portion of my musical history and education in the early days of my relationship with dance music. I’ve loved few labels more over my dance music career so it’s always an honor when Vonstroke and his amazing wife Aundy Crenshaw extend an invitation. So many friends old and new that I was overjoyed to spend time with. You know who you are!
I also finally dipped back out to play a campout renegade for the first time since 2018 and it was worth the wait. If you know, you know…. I’m not sure how I could have had a better weekend. Thanks to all the campers for your amazing energy and support. Hugs and high fives from your boy for sure.”
Mary Droppinz shared, “there is no place like Dirtybird Campout! Playing the bass lodge sunset Saturday night before some of my favorite artists with all of my friends there – priceless! I’ll be feeling the magic from this weekend for a while.”
