The journey down the rabbit hole continues March 25-26, 2022 at Beyond Wonderland! August of 2021 saw the return of the Southern California staple after several postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year the festival is back to its original March dates. The event will be held at the Insomniac hub, the NOS Event Center in San Bernadino, California, and has a huge lineup filled with artists of all genres. Everyone has their favorite artists, but where do you go when you roam in between sets? Before you plan out your minute-by-minute setlist, here are 7 artists you absolutely must see in 2022!
1. James Hype
