Celebrating its fifth year in the Hamptons, Palm Tree Music Festival kicked off summer with a sun-soaked, Don Julio-filled party at Southampton's Shinnecock Reservation on June 21. Crowds of revelers came out to get sweaty, dance and party to vibrant sets from a jam-packed DJ lineup, including Fisher, Kygo, Mau P, Coco & Breezy, Tinx & Lucas, Benjamin Lloyd, Beau Cruz and Blond:ish.

The producer/DJ/label owner/philanthropist began her 11-week residency at clubbing institution Pacha last month, becoming the first female-led headlining residency at the venue and breaking the attendance record shortly after. With a new album out earlier this year, a record-breaking residency show, and a precious newborn turning 1 soon, 2025 has become a year of milestones for the Canadian artist. Billboard caught up with the 'Never Walk Alone' producer before her set at Palm Tree Music Festival to discuss her historic female-led headlining residency, favorite pre-show rituals, and memorable crowd interactions. Check out the interview below. I went to Ibiza for the first time 15 years ago. I was 18, a really little chicken, and I understood the hustle there because back then I didn't have any money, and I was hustling. So, just getting around was a hustle, and getting into all the parties, the villa parties, and just learning how it works. It's obviously amazing, but every single day of my life in the past six months has just been about, 'How do we make this a success?' And we're killing it. There's so many marketing levers. Everyone does business in a different way, so you gotta navigate so many layers of sh–. But then you have this incredible thing on the surface that looks amazing. You can feel that people were ready for something like this in Ibiza, because you always get a similar offering, but this is different. This is more intentional, more of a feminine energy, but gangster. Yes, because it's ours and the beautiful thing is that it's not just one week, it's 11 weeks! So every week you can iterate. We have this blackout moment where we just fake that all the power goes out, and then that creates a moment of connection. Because that's what we try to do with abracadabras. Bring more connection in little, tiny ways that aren't obvious. Like, 'Hey, guys connect now.' People start talking and you might meet someone. I'm on the dance floor hugging people all around, I acknowledge people, you know. That's what the audience wants. There's thousands of people out there, and everyone comes with a different mood, different energy. Everyone's going through different sh–. I have to put on a little protection bubble out there because everything I do is energy. Everything is energy. So, I just make a little protective bubble around me. Do some Qigong, a five-minute little ritual where I could just reset and get grounded, so that the energy I put out is pure and is optimized and efficient as possible. And then I have a tiny sip of tequila, like a tiny kiss. The brown bottle. [Points at a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila.] $144.99 Buy Now on total wine I used to drink a lot of Mezcal because I lived in Tulum for a few years. That's just the culture there, and then as I started touring more internationally, like Mexico, I switched to tequila. I love spicy margaritas. I like to feel like I'm in the deep jungles of Tulum at the best restaurant ever. There's this NYPD mashup of Temper Trap that is really 'housey' and has these big strings, and it goes down a fifth, and it just creates this crazy energy. I'll play it today. I saw that it makes everyone else happy, so it makes me happy when everyone else is happy. I'm always doing music, so it's more of a utility now for me. I have to get prepared for a show, I have to go dig for music, and then I have to play the music. So, when I'm not DJing, like, in the car, I'm not really listening to music. I appreciate the silence and listening to the sounds around me. Every single word we say has energy. You're an energy, whatever those guys are doing over there, every decision we make, every single thing, every song, is a resident frequency. That's kind of what I found to be the key to life. If you frame everything as energy, and you always ask yourself, 'Does it take my energy? Is it giving me energy?' Then life starts to flow more. So that's why I mentioned energy a lot, and that's why I double down on it. So when you say, how would you describe your music? Yeah, I would just say it's energetic, you feel an energy. I don't want to overuse that word, but that's exactly what it is. We had a bunch of people come to a show with tinfoil hats! There's a lot of meanings, like people who are anti-system, people who don't go with the norm of society but for this, it's more about protecting yourself from magnetic energy. It's all inspired by the feedback I get in my comments and the DMs. Honestly, that's where we create all the culture. I noticed when I reply to people in my DMs, I see how appreciative they are. I understood, oh, okay, people want to be acknowledged, even if I'm just making eye contact with them, copying their dance moves when I'm DJing. We try to understand these little moments of connection. They really appreciate the hugs. I have a baby now. He's almost 1, and to see his pure face, like pure happiness, makes me question, 'Why do we lose that going through life?' So my goal is to bring us as close as we can back to that pure happiness. I just want people to live their best life. Through Abracadabra and my performances, all these seeds that we're planting, and also through the music, I hope that everyone can open the road to living their best life.

Palm Tree Festival to Debut in St. Tropez With Headliners A$AP Rocky & Swedish House Mafia
Palm Tree Festival is touching down in France this summer. The festival, produced by Kygo's Palm Tree Crew, will throw its first St. Tropez edition on July 26. The show on the French Riviera will be headlined by A$AP Rocky and Swedish House Mafia, with the lineup also featuring Sammy Virji, Cassian, Cruz, Lubo Hang, Xandra and Roman Cleiss. Tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, May 16.

Ed Sheeran Sets Up Pink 'Play' Phone Booths Around Europe Previewing Upcoming Album Previous editions of Palm Tree Festival have happened in a laundry list of high-end locations including Hawaii, Australia, Aspen, Lake Tahoe and the Hamptons. Event organizers note that additional European editions of the event will be announced 'soon.' 'As we continue to grow Palm Tree Music Festival globally, St. Tropez marks a monumental step in our expansion into Europe,' says Myles Shear, the co-founder of Palm Tree Crew and Kygo's longtime manager. 'We're bringing the best of Palm Tree Crew — music, travel, and entertainment — to one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, and kicking off what's to be an amazing European run.' In addition to Palm Tree Festival, Kygo and Shear also opened a brick and mortar Palm Tree Club in Miami late last year, with both the festival and the resort further establishing the duo's vision of Palm Tree Club as a lifestyle brand. In 2022, the pair told Billboard about how they're basing this model on Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville empire of music, bars, resorts and events. 'He created so many areas where [his fans] can come together — it doesn't even need to be at his shows. It can be at his hotel or a Margaritaville bar,' Kygo said of Buffet. 'That's what we're trying to create: something that's bigger than the music. A community, a movement.'
