Further Future, located on the Moapa River Indian Reservation, claimed to offers an "all inclusive" festival experience, different than the, "vanish and leave no trace" principles instilled in those who participate in Burning Man.
Further Future was the brainchild of a group called Robot Heart, an art and music collective known for the parties it throws during the annual Burning Man gathering in Northern Nevada's Black Rock Desert.
Prior to the launch of Further Future, the Bureau of Land Management BLM (a federal agency) denied organizers a commercial use permit for the roads leading towards the intended location on an abandoned mine in Lake Mead, NV.
The BLM and the National Park Service denied the Further Future festival a commercial use permit for access to the roads which lead across public land to the privately owned mine.
The event now held on land controlled by the Moapa Band of Paiutes is off the I-15 exit, toward the Valley of Fire State Park.
