FAR–FLUNG AND FAR OUT
Schellraiser takes flight to Wells, Nevada
Schellraiser was born in the cool, high desert of Eastern Nevada’s Steptoe Valley, a little over three hours away from Salt Lake City, but seemingly a million light years from anywhere else… or so we’ve been told. We’re about as far away from mainstream tastemakers and trendsetters as you can get — geographically, philosophically and sonically — and our lineup reflects our love of alternative and independent music. After three back-to-back years at the McGill Pool Park – and one year on hiatus – we're moving our event two hours up the road, to the small city of Wells, Nevada, on Friday, May 29, and Saturday, May 30, 2026.
ABOUT OUR LINEUP...
We think we heard Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller say we have the best-curated one he’s ever seen. Our friends from Moving Panoramas chimed in to call it “an amazingly curated bill in a very special, rare setting.”
Truth be told, they were talking about our inaugural 2022 lineup, but with bands like Camera Obscura, Swervedriver and Ivy set to join our fourth event, we can’t imagine that they’d think any less of it.
WHERE WE ARE
We're moving to Wells in 2026!
For once, the rumors about us are true: We're moving to Wells, Nevada, in 2026, and we're calling next year's event Humboldt Hideaway.
Located in the high desert of Elko County, just minutes away from the glaciated peaks and alpine lakes of the East Humboldt Range, Wells is 2.5 hours west of Salt Lake City, Utah, via Interstate 80, and one hour and 45 minutes south of Twin Falls, Idaho, via U.S. Highway 93.
WHO WE ARE
Get to know Humboldt Hideaway
We should start off by telling you who we aren’t: We’re not just another corporate event promoter, nor are we a mass-scale event like Burning Man. Schellraiser's Humboldt Hideaway is a family-owned micro-festival that is passionate about bringing live music and culture to our overlooked and underappreciated corner of the West, while creating unique experiences for festivalgoers, bands and volunteers alike.
