The lineup for Momentous, the annual electronic music festival at the Momentary in Bentonville, is now set for Nov. 6-7, with performers including SoFi Tukker, Channel Tres, The Faint, and Hiroko Yamamura.
Additional acts scheduled for the two-day event include Annie-Claude Deschenes, Cut Copy, J. Worra, Sextile, VNSSA, and X-Coast. The festival will also feature food, drinks, art installations, and other interactive programming across the weekend.
Two-day general admission passes are $165, while Momentary members can purchase tickets for $132. VIP options are also available, though specific pricing and perks were not detailed in the initial announcement.
The Momentary, located in Benton County, has become a regional draw for electronic music fans since launching Momentous in 2021. The venue’s 130,000-square-foot campus in downtown Bentonville typically draws thousands each November for the event, which blends dance music with the museum’s contemporary art offerings.
Notable Acts
SoFi Tukker, the New York-based duo known for genre-blending tracks like “Best Friends” and “Drinkee,” will headline one of the two nights. Their live shows often incorporate elements of Brazilian baile funk and global pop, drawing large crowds at festivals across the U.S.
Channel Tres, a Los Angeles producer and singer, is known for his house-influenced R&B tracks and collaborations with artists like Disclosure and Tinashe. His 2018 single “Weed Instead” became a viral hit and helped establish his reputation as a rising voice in electronic soul.
The Faint, a veteran act from Omaha, Nebraska, helped define the electroclash movement of the early 2000s with albums like “Danse Macabre” and “Werk It.” Their return to the stage this November marks a rare tour appearance, making their Momentous set a likely highlight for longtime fans.
Hiroko Yamamura, a frequent collaborator with the likes of Four Tet and Floating Points, will bring her immersive blend of ambient techno and experimental electronics to the festival’s quieter hours.
Festival Details
Momentous runs from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. both nights, with music stages set up both inside the museum and across its outdoor grounds. Food vendors will offer a rotating selection of local eats, and craft beverages will be available for purchase. Art installations and interactive experiences will be accessible to all ticket holders throughout the weekend.
Tickets are available now through themomentary.org. General admission and membership ticket prices include access to all musical performances, installations, and on-site dining options. Parking is available in the museum’s adjacent lots and via shuttle from nearby downtown garages.
For those who can’t make both nights, single-day tickets are expected to go on sale in early June. A limited number of payment plan options are available for two-day passes, with details to be released by the venue later this week.
The festival has historically sold out in advance, especially in its second year onward. Last November, Momentous 2025 drew nearly 6,000 attendees across both days, according to internal numbers provided by the Momentary.
Community Connection
Beyond the music, Momentous has become a key part of the cultural calendar in Northwest Arkansas, drawing regional visitors and supporting local vendors. The 2024 edition featured food from Fayetteville-based spots like Tusk & Trotter and Ghostbird, and this year’s vendors will be announced in June.
Arts programming during the event often includes pop-up installations and live visual collaborations between local and visiting artists. In past years, the Momentary has worked with students from the University of Arkansas to commission temporary works tied to the festival’s themes.
As in previous years, Momentary members get early access to tickets and discounted rates. Non-members can join at the door or online, with annual memberships starting at $65 for individuals and $125 for families.
