Teaming up for the very first time, Pollen Presents, The Brooklyn Mirage, and The Cityfox Experience present DEPARTURE, a five day and night travel experience in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, from January 6th – 11th, 2022. Featuring a custom build mirage and two further unique stage builds, this innovation in creativity will host performances from the leading international names in electronic music, as well as fully immersive production created by the team behind New York’s beloved venue The Brooklyn Mirage and event curators The Cityfox Experience, the new experience represents an exciting new addition to the dance music calendar.

The phase two lineup for DEPARTURE adds even more global talent to an already robust lineup, which is now set to include highly-anticipated performances from Berlin-based South Korean dance icon PEGGY GOU, American techno act MACEO PLEX, Swedish producer and Drumcode Records founder ADAM BEYER, veteran German artist SVEN VÄTH, legendary Iranian American house and techno DJ and producer DUBFIRE, Swiss-Chilean DJ and producer and Cadenza Records owner LUCIANO, the Italian global ambassador of techno MARCO CAROLA, acclaimed London duo DUSKY, Southern California vocalist ANABEL ENGLUND, and more including &ME, ADAM PORT, CARLITA, CASSY, ILARIO ALICANTE, JOSEPH CAPRIATI, LAYLA BENITEZ, MASON MAYNARD, MIND AGAINST and RECONDITE.

The possibilities for musical magic and unique on-stage collaborations are endless.
