Above & Beyond Return to the Gorge Amphitheater For Biggest Anjunafamily Event of 2023

Above & Beyond is all set to host a Group Therapy Weekender next year at Washington’s Gorge Amphitheater.

It’s impossible to put Above & Beyond in a box. The three-piece has had a stronghold on progressive trance and house for well over a decade, but that isn’t it. DJs Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamäki of the group are also the founders of their very own record label, Anjunabeats, and they’ve run both operations side-by-side since first becoming active in the music space.

The power trio has now announced that they will be returning to one of the world’s most stunning venues next year for their label’s Group Therapy Weekender. The event will take place over three days this summer, from July 21-23, at Washington State’s Gorge Amphitheater.

Each day of the camping celebration will feature a roster of Anjunabeats heavyweights as well as artists from their sub-label, Anjunadeep. These sets will lead up the headlining act—any guesses?—Above & Beyond.

Jono, Tony, and Paavo of Above & Beyond shared the following statement: “Our gathering at The Gorge is a bi-annual affair, but we’ve decided to bring the next one forward a year! For much of 2023, we’ll be locked away in the studio working on new music, which means we’ve decided not to do a major Group Therapy milestone show next year. ABGT600 in 2024 will be our next all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza, location to be announced. That means The Gorge will undoubtedly be our biggest Anjunafamily event of 2023. Hope you can join us there.”

The Gorge is where the group’s iconic ABGT250 took place in 2017, and they’re now looking to provide fans with a more holistic experience. Group Therapy Weekender will consist of surprise pop-up sets, a wellness & learning program and artist meet & greets. The aim is to bring the Anjuna community together to connect with one another and bond over the music while surrounded by the beauty of Washington’s crown jewel. 

More information about the gathering will follow next year. Sign up here to stay informed and get updates. VIP, accommodation, and travel packages will soon be available.
