Nestled in the red rock canyons of southern Utah, Resonance Festival: Canyon Series invites participants into a weekend of immersive sound, nature, and presence. Presented by Project Nomad Kanab, this unique two-day experience blends music, ritual, and community at Angel’s Landing Amphitheater, located inside the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
The featured headliners, Sage & Aera, bring raw acoustic folk with roots in their work with Elephant Revival and WE DREAM DAWN. Also appearing is Them Spirits!, a Kanab-based art and resonance collective known for their experimental sound experiences crafted from the canyon itself.
Unlike traditional music festivals, Resonance fosters a meditative and reverent space. Guests are encouraged to sing, dance, hum, or lay down—but talking and phones are discouraged in the performance area. Instead, social interactions are directed to a nearby designated area offering non-alcoholic drinks, a cacao station, and a communal BBQ. The event is family-friendly and open to all ages.
