F.U.Ego Stage Bar & Lounge
Camp Fuego hosts the F.U.EGO Bar, No Mercy Stage & VIP A/C Lounge, serving daily the playa’s only bottomless ORGANIC SNOW CONES and hosting No Mercy karaoke parties, an open mic, and DJ’d dance parties. DJs and musicians welcomed to our stage! Choose any mixed drink, mocktail, spiked cone, cold craft beer or hard cider. No Mercy karaoke singers agree to be cut off at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all! A gong is standing by. Only truly amazing singers get to the end of a song. ALL PARTICIPANTS gain access to Fuego’s VIP A/C Lounge! There you will sip top shelf booze in cool luxury. Look for Camp Fuego’s namesake Art Installation, “Fuego”, a life-sized stretched barbed-wire prancing HORSE with flame effects coming from her eyes and mane. Or lie in our coffin. And Eff Your Ego!

When the rains fall on the playa there is no time to waste; the fairy shrimp must get it on and procreate post haste! Pulling on an ovisac will pop an egg into your hands where your very own new fairy shrimp awaits creative plans. Come to “Fairy Shrimpy Camp” Monday through Thursday afternoons (1-4pm) to personalize a fairy shrimp of your own and maybe learn something new about these critters and their friends!

Fake Moon Factory is an international team of extraordinary Burners working together with Australian artist Clayton Blake, to bring art to the playa.
We have exhibited the iconic shopping cart sculpture titled “Perpetual Consumption” (2018), shipping container sculpture “Containerisation” (2019), and inflatable ball sculpture “Toxic” (2022).
Last year we created a 26ft stainless steel inhabitable rocket titled “Odyssey” (2023).
Beyond the art, we had a nightly “launch” performance on playa and held artists talks daily in our camp hosting other prominent BM artists.
We are excited to be back in 2024 with our most ambitious project to date, “Sanctum”. A 30ft tall inhabitable and interactive sculpture guaranteed to challenge and inspire.

Hometown: Eugene, OregonFirm Globe
Firm Globe’s revenue in 2024 is THROUGH THE ROOF, thanks in large part to the plentiful unpaid labor… *ahem*… I mean… “hard-working enthusiastic burners” that came to our office on the Playa in 2023 and took care of their TPS reports in a timely and compliant manner.
The shareholders are demanding we return to Black Rock City and do what humans were born to do – contribute to a profitable enterprise!
Sure you might not get paid, but think of all the career opportunities that will surely open up to you with a name like Firm Globe on your resume. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to put in 40-60 hours of focused, productive effort here during your Burn!

Hometown: Salt Lake CityFjörgyn's Lair
The Viking Longboat was a potent symbol of life, livelihood, one’s journey through life, the afterlife, and was used by the Norse for transport, in trade, in warfare, and as a burial vessel for centuries.
Fjorgyn is a personification of earth in Norse mythology, and the mother of the thunder god Thor, the son of Odin.
At our camp will be the Nudeaoke (Nude Karaoke) stage, we’re not just about pushing boundaries; we’re about breaking them down entirely. Imagine a space where participants confront not just one, but two of the most common fears: public speaking/singing and nudity, all in one transformative experience.
In the face of such bravery and liberation, what else on the playa could possibly hold fear?
