EDC Thailand 2026 Lineup: Returns, Debuts & More
The upcoming EDC Thailand 2026 festival in Phuket promises an electrifying experience, featuring both first-time acts and major stage takeovers.
The full lineup for EDC Thailand 2026 marks a new chapter as the festival takes place at Rhythm Park in Phuket for the first time from January 16–18. This edition unites global icons and long-awaited debuts, with Armin van Buuren, Axwell b2b Sebastian Ingrosso, Tiësto, and Zedd leading the mainstage alongside rare appearances from Deadmau5, Svdden Death, and Sound Rush. Other highlights include Cassian, Loud Luxury, BUNT, Griz, Mathame, Novah, Tape B, and Vertile, each adding their own flavor to Thailand’s expanding electronic landscape. Beyond the lineup, the festival introduces major stage takeovers that define its identity: Basscon and Bassrush Experience push the harder and bass-focused sounds, Dreamstate celebrates trance culture, and Factory 93 Experience brings a darker underground edge. Together, these elements shape EDC Thailand 2026 into its most dynamic and globally connected edition yet.
First-Time Acts and Rare Sets to Catch in Phuket
Among the names drawing attention this year, Deadmau5 stands out as one of the rarest bookings Thailand has seen in recent years. While he has played in the country before, it is uncommon to see him on a local festival stage, making his addition one of the most talked-about in this lineup. His inclusion alongside Armin van Buuren and Zedd signals how EDC Thailand continues to raise its reach, bringing long-missed artists back into the circuit.
Acts like Sound Rush also make a welcome return after several years away, reaffirming the festival’s growing space for harder styles. Meanwhile, Svdden Death and Vertile bring their own intensity to the mix, each adding a sound that has been missing from major Thai festivals in recent memory.
On the opposite end, Loud Luxury, Tape B, and Novah are performing in Thailand for the first time. Their bookings reflect how EDC Thailand 2026 is balancing its lineup between major headliners and new international names who have never played here before. With additions like Cassian, Griz, Mathame, and BUNT, this year’s program leans toward variety rather than repetition, giving the Phuket crowd a rare chance to see artists that usually appear only at festivals abroad.
Stage Takeovers and What They Bring to EDC Thailand 2026
The stage takeovers at EDC Thailand 2026 show how the festival is widening its range while keeping the EDC identity intact. Each host adds its own sound and culture to Rhythm Park, shaping the weekend into a mix of mainstage highlights and dedicated zones for specific styles.
Basscon and Bassrush Experience anchor the heavier side of the lineup. Fans can expect acts like Svdden Death, Vertile, and Sound Rush, alongside newer names that push hardstyle and bass in fresh directions. This pairing is a major moment for Thailand, bringing a level of production and artist depth that local events rarely reach.

Dreamstate turns its stage into a world of trance. Names like Armin van Buuren, Ben Nicky, and KEY4050 set the tone for long, emotional sets that define this brand’s global reputation. For many, it’s the closest thing to a classic EDC Las Vegas experience in Asia.

Factory 93 Experience introduces house and techno-focused artists such as Lilly Palmer, Ben Hemsley, and Eli Brown. The stage reflects the growing appetite in Thailand for darker, club-driven sounds that have been defining the European circuit. Together, these takeovers make EDC Thailand 2026 one of the most complete festival lineups in the region, offering clear paths for every kind of raver, whether you live for trance melodies, hardstyle kicks, or late-night warehouse energy.

What Makes EDC Thailand 2026 Stand Out
Now in its second year, EDC Thailand 2026 shows how fast the festival has grown into a major part of Asia’s dance calendar. Its move to Rhythm Park in Phuket marks a new chapter, giving the event a larger space to build on last year’s success. The focus this time is clear, combining returning headliners with artists performing in Thailand for the first time to create a lineup that feels wider in scope and more connected to international trends.
This edition also highlights how Insomniac continues to strengthen its presence in the region. The inclusion of four global stage hosts (Basscon, Bassrush Experience, Dreamstate, and Factory 93 Experience) confirms EDC Thailand’s place as a full-scale festival within the EDC network. Instead of repeating what worked last year, 2026 feels like a step forward, offering greater variety across styles while maintaining the production and scale that make EDC one of the most recognizable festival brands in the world.
With its mix of returning icons, first-time performers, and curated stage hosts, EDC Thailand 2026 feels like a turning point for the festival’s presence in Asia. The move to Rhythm Park gives it room to evolve while keeping the identity that makes EDC unique. For Thailand’s electronic scene, it is more than just another festival weekend. It shows that the country now stands firmly on the global map of major dance events.

More Artists Join ADE 2026
The final release adds another large group of names across house, techno, trance, garage and experimental electronic music. ANNA, Carl Craig, Chris Liebing, Enrico Sangiuliano, Ferry Corsten, HoneyLuv, Interplanetary Criminal, Louie Vega, Nastia, Sebastien Léger, Young Marco and BLOND:ISH are among those confirmed, alongside hundreds of artists playing throughout the city.
That scale is a long way from where ADE began in 1996, when around 300 professional delegates attended and its nighttime events covered just three venues. Thirty years later, the event now reaches clubs, concert halls, museums, churches, record stores and cultural institutions across Amsterdam, bringing its festival and professional conference together across the same week.
ADE Pro Brings Artists And Industry Leaders Together
The ADE Pro Conference will feature artist conversations, industry sessions and discussions around the future of nightlife. Armin van Buuren joins Jean-Michel Jarre, Lady Starlight and JakoJako for Music & Machines: A Conversation Between Artists from Different Generations, while Afrojack, Mau P, Max Cooper, HoneyLuv, Sofiya Nzau, Joseph Capriati, Reinier Zonneveld, Cruel Santino and DJ Scratch are among the other names joining the conference.
Major music and technology companies will also take part through the Insider Knowledge series, with sessions involving Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, NVIDIA, Helix Records, Believe, Warner Music, Sony Music, Universal, Armada and Sziget. Elsewhere, Why Humans Still Need Dancefloors? will bring Eris Drew, Alice O’Grady and Sven Bijma together, while ADE and VibeLab will present the Nighttime Culture Index, mapping the cultural vitality of nightlife across cities around the world.
30 Years Of ADE Across Amsterdam
The anniversary edition will also introduce the 30 YEARS ADE Icon Series, bringing together 30 events that look back at electronic music’s history while also focusing on its future. Jean-Michel Jarre joins the week as Guest of Honour, marking the 50th anniversary of Oxygene with a show at AFAS Live, an exclusive ADE Pro keynote and further appearances during the event.
The series also includes Boris Acket’s EINDER installation with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Elias Mazian, while Swan Lake Remixed for ADE brings the Dutch National Ballet and ISH Dance Collective together at the Gashouder. The wider Arts & Culture program will continue through museums and cultural spaces, with Slimfit, Thomas Azier, Colin Benders and Othernode among those presenting performances and new work during the week.
ADE will also look back at its own development through the 30 Years of ADE session, featuring Anna Knaup, Maria Jimenez, Richard Zijlma, Jan-Willem van de Ven, Gary Smith and moderator Dave Clarke. The discussion will trace how the event grew from 300 professional delegates and three nighttime venues in 1996 into the global electronic music gathering it has become today.
With the full program now confirmed, ADE’s 30th anniversary will bring together club nights, conference sessions, orchestral performances, installations and cultural events across five days in Amsterdam. Three decades after its first edition, the 2026 event will celebrate the people, scenes and ideas that have shaped ADE while giving a new generation of artists and industry figures their place in its next chapter.

The festival has now revealed a lineup of 151 acts, led by Doechii, Phoebe Bridgers, Fontaines D.C., Hayley Williams, FKA twigs, Turnstile, Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, Robyn, Prospa and Skrillex b2b Ninajirachi.

Electronic Dance Music Acts Playing At Primavera Sound 2027
Skrillex b2b Ninajirachi is easily one of the must-see electronic sets across the week, with the pair closing the festival together in a rare back-to-back performance. The Chemical Brothers are another major highlight, especially with the duo playing Primavera Sound for the first time in their career. Elsewhere, Prospa bring their house and rave influences to Parc del Fòrum, while Underworld, BICEP, Joy Orbison and John Talabot give the lineup plenty more depth across house, techno and club music.

That selection stretches further into some of the more experimental names on the lineup, with Ibrahim Alfa Jnr, Boy Harsher, Pole and Mark Fell & RP Boo all bringing something different to the festival. Pole will perform his influential 1 2 3 trilogy, while Mark Fell & RP Boo will present a new collaborative show that brings together experimental electronic music and footwork. Alongside the bigger electronic names, those sets give the festival enough range for attendees to move between major live acts, club-focused performances and artists working further outside the mainstream.
Primavera Bits Will Close The Festival With An Eight-Hour Set
The week will end with Primavera Bits on June 6, bringing Richie Hawtin, Four Tet and Dixon together for the first time anywhere in the world. The three electronic music pioneers will lead an eight-hour closing set made up of alternating performances, giving the final day its own identity after the main festival dates at Parc del Fòrum.

Primavera Bits also extends the 25th edition beyond the three main festival days, following the free opening day on June 2 and the main programme from June 3–5. With more events and venues around Barcelona still to be announced, the closing party adds another major electronic music moment to a week that already reaches well beyond the core festival lineup.

Primavera Sound 2027 Tickets
Registration for the Fan Sale is open until October 7 at 23:59 CEST, with registered users able to access tickets from October 8 at 11:00 CEST. General full festival tickets will cost €295 plus booking fees during the Fan Sale, while VIP tickets will cost €545 plus booking fees. General sales then open on October 9 at 11:00 CEST, with standard full festival tickets priced at €350 plus fees. Pasted text
With the lineup now out and more events around Barcelona still to be announced, the 25th edition already has plenty going for it before the full week has even taken shape. Between major electronic names, rare collaborations, festival debuts and an eight-hour Primavera Bits closing set, Primavera Sound 2027 has given attendees plenty to start planning around, while leaving enough unrevealed to make the next announcements worth watching.

EDC Las Vegas Dusk Till Dawn brings 12 days of events, parties and experiences across the city in 2027
EDC Las Vegas is taking its new Dusk Till Dawn format far beyond the two festival weekends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Insomniac has now revealed the events and experiences planned across the full 12 days from May 13–24, 2027. Alongside EDC Dusk and EDC Dawn, Headliners can expect pop-up parties across Las Vegas and the returning World Party Parade. A new Map Point Summit, Insomniac Concept Store and Beyond The Rave Art Show are also planned. Camp EDC and Hotel EDC will also offer expanded experiences throughout the city.

What The 12-Day Experience Actually Includes
The Dusk Till Dawn experience runs from May 13–24, 2027. EDC Dusk takes place from May 14–16, followed by EDC Dawn from May 21–23 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The six festival days remain at the Speedway. The dates around them will bring EDC into other parts of Las Vegas through parties, exhibitions, retail, hotel events and community-focused activities.
Between the two weekends, Insomniac plans pop-up events across clubs, warehouses, art galleries, city landmarks and other locations. Opening and closing parties will also take place around both Dusk and Dawn. Hotel EDC at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will host pool parties, after-parties, wellness activities and beauty and glam services. Interactive events and several of the new experiences announced for 2027 will also take place there.
Camp EDC will change significantly as well, with pass holders able to stay for the full 12 days for the first time. Each weekend begins with a sunset-to-sunrise opening party at The Mesa. Monday morning after-parties will follow once each festival weekend ends. Between both weekends, campers can expect wellness activities, creative workshops, a retro arcade and live painting. Vendor Village, art installations and all-night parties are also planned.
New Experiences Coming To Dusk Till Dawn
One of the biggest additions for 2027 is Map Point Summit. Its name comes from the underground rave tradition of using map points to guide people to a party. Insomniac is bringing that idea into a new setting at Hotel EDC. The summit will focus on electronic music, rave culture and helping people understand different paths into the industry. It gives the 12-day experience something beyond parties. The space is aimed at people who want to learn more about the culture and those working behind it.
That wider look at rave culture continues with the new Beyond The Rave Art Show. It will also take place at Hotel EDC throughout all 12 days. The free exhibition will feature photography, graffiti, paintings, rave flyers, poster art, sculptures and collectibles. Works will come from established artists and people within the electronic music community. Nearby, the Marketplace will bring together independent creators and businesses. They will offer fashion, art, records, collectibles, technology and other products connected to the scene.
Concept Store And World Party Parade
Music and merchandise also come together through the first Insomniac Concept Store, another new addition for 2027. Open throughout Dusk Till Dawn, the store will include limited-edition collaborations, exclusive releases and a vinyl section. That section will cover both new and old-school electronic music. Artist meet-and-greets and special DJ appearances are also planned.
The returning World Party Parade takes the celebration back outside following its 2026 debut. The free, all-ages electronic dance music parade will once again bring performers and people from around the world onto the streets of Las Vegas.
With EDC Las Vegas giving Headliners an entirely new way to experience the festival in 2027, the inaugural Dusk Till Dawn edition is already shaping up to be one of its biggest changes in years. Across the full 12 days, the experience will extend beyond the two weekends at the Speedway. Art, nightlife, rave culture, community events, independent creators and new spaces around the city will all play a part. That gives people far more to explore before, between and after Dusk and Dawn. It also gives Insomniac room to develop ideas that have not previously been part of EDC on this scale. That makes the first edition of Dusk Till Dawn one to keep a close eye on when it begins in May 2027.
