🚶💃 The Walk Club is Seattle’s newest dance music & wellness crossover featuring The Aftermile Sessions, a local DJ afterparty. If you like to move, you’re looking for a community, and music is a part of everything you do, The Walk Club is going to be for you.

“I want it to feel like something people genuinely look forward to, where they know the vibe is right and the people are welcoming,” says Chris Charma, The Walk Club founder. “Music, especially electronic, is a big part of that. It sets the tone. Whether it’s high-energy house or more ambient chill sounds, the goal is always to create moments that promote clarity, wellness, and joy.”

Under perfect summer skies, Insomniac delivered another breathtaking edition of Beyond Wonderland on June 21–22 at the Gorge Amphitheatre—featuring stellar upgrades across camping, food, and vendor villages. Efficient entry, new permanent food and camping shops, and thoughtful water stations made the experience smoother than ever. It was festival life elevated, set against the stunning canyon backdrop.

The musical production across Caterpillar’s Garden, Mad Hatter’s Castle, and the main Queen’s Valley stage was nothing short of spectacular. Massive LED walls, bold lighting, and secure stage design created immersive moments from street-level to hilltop views. Every set felt like it was made for this place.

The silent disco at The Pivot became a late-night hangout highlight, hosting local PNW artists across Friday and Saturday in an intimate 360° setup. Standouts included AMP, Tony H, Wolfstax, DoBadlyy, and Mystrvs—each bringing their distinct regional vibe onto the Gorge’s expansive stages.

Perfect weather, unbeatable production, and a roster of homegrown legends made Beyond Wonderland 2025 feel like a true PNW takeover of one of America’s most scenic destinations.

Rave Camp, an AZ-based and women-owned rave apparel brand, held a multi-day pop-up store just in time for Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge this weekend. The 4-day pop-up, held at at Drip Tea Kent, carried all the rave outfit necessities you could think of; all sorts of trendy rave outfits and accessories such as pashminas, hosiery, and hand fans.

With free giveaways, live DJ sets, a flow artist meetup, and tasty beverages by Drip Tea on site, it was the perfect one-stop shop for the rave community and anything one might want in rave outfits.
