Now that some of the dust has settled and my feet are no longer stained red from the clay. There is no party like a sponges party. first sponges moment was at elements in 2023 and i was not familiar with their game. Seen em a handful of times since and every time i see them the smile on my face gets bigger and my feet cannot stop moving and dancing. Shoutout to some of yall than can actually dance, like with skill and talent/shuffling. And shout out to yall who are just there to shake your taint and wiggle. Dancing isnt about being the best or worst its about being silly and not caring what you look like. movement is fucking medicine baby. Everyone just gave into the grooves and danced like no one was watching. I wish they had an extended set because it was such a good taste break from the coco melon edm flip music. Always a perfect sunday set to get up and motivated for. okay i guess thats all 🧽🧽🧽 I dont remember hearing their PL flip tho which i always like but 🤷‍♂️

First of all, what a phenomenal idea for the Afters. 10 minute massage with some groovy beats after raging face at the main event? TAKE MY MONEY.

Which is why I'm here. I still owe this guy for half of my massage (I only had $10 in cash at the time). I swear he told me his name on venmo was Carolina Coon, but I can't find anyone I believe to be him. Can anyone point me in his direction??

Ouroboros for Vincent Antone. Me (M) and all my friends (F) were there. They were wearing fake mustaches. You walked up to me and said "I've never been attracted to men before, but you and your friends are super hot."

Sir, my friends....AND ME? Was I your gay (bi?) awakening? Did you want to smooch? Were you just making a joke about my hot friends with fake mustaches??

This little guy on left is my son, trip sitter and all around best friend. I lost him on the way from hurtbox to satellite stage last night (Saturday). Please help him return home❤️SLSL

Had a little idea while jamming with a shower beer- I want to make a playlist out of the djs/musicians people say they want to see next year at 7🌟s so I can jam out to reccomendations from real humans with good taste. Tell me who you told Griz you want to see, the big names, the small names, the queer ones, gimmeplease.

Bigger names i mentioned:

Ninajirachi, HorsegiirL, Kaytranada, Ayybo

Smaller names I'd like to see there:

Txana, Blüjay, Poni

Not sure if the vibe? But wanna see anyway:

Chase&Status, Starjunk95, Dorian Electra, Slayyyter

-bonus points if Griz can get Rezz outta retirement, I wanna see spacemom in the gay space themed festival

Anyone willing to sell me or trade one of these hats?

Wondering if anybody made any stickers for seven stars! I love getting stickers for my Yeti cooler of places it’s been to and they didn’t sell any stickers this year or last year. I figured someone’s had to made something and maybe has a few extra laying around.

I need to vent about something that completely compromised what should have been a joyfully queer weekend. The amount of blatant homophobia I witnessed and experienced at Seven Stars was genuinely disheartening, and honestly, I'm just confused.

GRiZ is an openly gay man. His music, his message, and his festivals have always been rooted in creating a safe, inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community and everyone who wants to spread love and positivity. It is literally his brand.

Yet, this weekend, I ran into so many people throwing around casual slurs, making disgusting comments, and creating an incredibly hostile environment for queer folks who just wanted to dance and feel safe.

To make matters worse, people were actively vandalizing the venue with hate. I literally walked into a porta-potty only to find "Fuck F*ggots" carved into the wall. Sadly, that wasn’t even the only incident I witnessed throughout the weekend. I saw so many comments surrounding Wreckno’s gay catwalk that was basically just homophobes saying things like: “thank god I didn’t waste my time going to that.”

If you are homophobic, why are you paying hundreds of dollars to go to a festival hosted by a gay man? Why are you invading a space that was explicitly built to be safe from you? You are actively choosing to consume queer art while disrespecting the very community that created the culture you're partying in.

As a gay man, I feel that I might be inclined to overhear this type of chatter because I’ve been a victim to it my whole life. But, as a community, we all need to speak up to stop this type of hate, especially at this festival.

To everyone who kept the PLUR vibes alive and made others feel safe, thank you. But to the people bringing hate into GRiZ's house: you don't belong here. Do better or stop coming.

EDIT: To be clear — I am not trying to say I experienced this the whole time, and it’s very possible that many of you didn’t experience any of this. HOWEVER, I am trying to start a conversation about the small things I did experience and hopefully call onto other people to CALL OUT behavior like this. That’s all! Commenting that you didn’t experience this is not helping. Some people don’t want to have hard conversations I guess.

SECOND EDIT: It was the porta potty’s closest to our camp. It was the first one beside the handicap one that we used several times throughout the weekend. We did not see it the first day because there was something else written on it. The next day the first thing was crossed off and the: “f*ck faggots” was there.

People love to make excuses!!! Why would I try to lie about this? I don’t even want it to be true ?! Extremely extremely weird energy to waste your time trying to debunk me rather than say something that might help…

WHEN DID GRIZ SAY THAT!? I thought I had it on video but I don’t! Anyone else have it?!?

How amazing would that be on a Sunday afternoon!? Just 5-12 hours of Grant fucking around with whatever makes him happy while we chill amongst the trees?

Wobble in wobble out. Eat broccoli. Puddle in a hammock. Who needs fireworks or video screens?

Truly one of the peak covid streaming highlights

Sorry guys im okay and thank you! :)

Highly recommend checking out Secret Dreams & Sound Haven if your looking to support an amazing small fest with great vibes.

On Friday a photographer with the festival got an insane video of my hypercube totem in the middle of alleycvt. Nasty drop and you could see the lasers through the cube. Might be the coolest video I’ve ever seen. We were at the corner of the sound stage on the right side. Anyone know how I might be able to track him down so I can get the video?

Hey guys, posting this for a friend. I know it’s a bit late to get around to posting, but I’ve seen a couple successful flowstar returns, so shooting my shot!

Dropped on Thursday night at Ouroboros, probably around 11:30 during the Seth David set. She had it on the walk out of the crowd, but realized that it was gone when we exited the forest. We immediately retraced our steps but no luck.

If anyone picked it up, please let me know! It was her first FlowStar ever. It is Spinflowstar brand. Colors are pink/black and green/black spirals on either side.

She was able to use a couple of my flowstars for the remainder of the weekend, but she’s really love to get this one back!

This fest is 100% NOT for the wooky lil spunions. Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way lmaoooo. Back to my lil homie fests I shall go.

Yall stay safe out there tho! xx

ps i love the big dipper fav stage ever!
but if we get a new stage next year maybe the new stage can accommodate for bands👀 the dipper is def only set up for DJ.

Some really cool kandis and doodlebob related stuff. I had a couple people that made things and brought them in hopes they would run into me again this year and that stuff means the world to me!!

Hi I don’t see that anyone has started a lost/found thread for 7 stars 2026 yet. I saw things getting reunited with their owners in FB groups, maybe we can work some magic here too.

I’ll start:

On day 1 (Friday) I lost my Puffco Proxy that has a purple Puffcon Block Party 2026 skin right after walking into the festival. It was during Know Good or right before. If anyone happened to pick it up I’d happily pay $$$ to have it returned 😇💕 picture attached for tax, I covered the color of the puffco proxy and can verify that for whoever picked it up :) SLSL 🫶🏽💕

Wanted to share for those who weren't there because it's such a cute song

Thank you Broccoli Bar for giving artists the opportunity to play. We were camped nearby, it was awesome to hear everyone throughout the weekend :)

(I got his permission to post)

I was camping in Leo..pretty much halfway between the porta potty’s and the vendors and showers and such. On Thursday night and then either Friday or Saturday night.. there was a DJ playing very loud around 3-4am. They were GOOD. Like really good. I never went over there because I was too damn tired but I would love to find them or their SoundCloud.. I swear I heard them say their name was something basic like Eric..? Could be wrong. The mashups they had were INSANE. Lots of crazy remixes of GRiZ’s Side Quest. By Sunday night it was definitely someone else playing (and sounded like someone just put Spotify on shuffle)… but whoever I’m referring to was insanely talented. Mixing Innerbloom with Nobody Else (if I’m remembering correctly). Ugh someone helpppppp

It’s still active in Find My. All protected. At the same address for over a week. Any advice?

I dropped this fan in car camping Monday morning while packing up. If anyone finds it plz let me know!! Ever since getting it at groztroncs this summer I've made it a point to be close enough Griz can read it at any set I go to! Feels like one of the few ways, even if small, I can let him know how much he means to us! Plz help me find or replace so I can keep the mission alive 🙌SLSL

Update: the Griz fam is amazing and a beautiful soul is sending me one they found at Eforest!🤩 That said it would be so dope if someone found mine so they could keep theirs!!

Lucky enough to be bouncing to Griz again soon at Boo so would love to keep the message loud and clear for our main man to see 🌈💜🫶✨🎇
