Sacred Acre reveals its Phase II lineup for September 11-13 2026 on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, adding OPIUO, Mr. Bill, INZO, and Tape B B2B Effin to its fifth annual edition.

Sacred Acre, Alaska’s largest immersive electronic music and eco-activism festival, returns September 11–13, 2026, with the release of its second wave of artists for the festival’s fifth annual edition. Following the initial announcement of Tape B (performing two sets), Maddy O’Neal, and Effin, Sacred Acre has confirmed a dynamic Phase II lineup including Tape B B2B Effin, OPIUO, Mr. Bill, INZO, Mindchatter, Josh Teed, Tripp St., Cool Customer, Phyphr, Audio Goblin, Meduso, Mlotik, Dredlok, OkayJake, STVSH, and David Starfire, alongside a diverse wave of rising and regional talent.

Set along the stunning Cook Inlet coastline and nestled within the forests of the Kenai Peninsula, Sacred Acre continues to offer a festival experience unlike any other – blending world-class music, immersive storytelling, and environmental advocacy. The festival remains committed to raising awareness and support to combat factory trawling in Alaska’s waters and preserve the region’s delicate marine ecosystems.

“Every year, we’re not just throwing a party. We’re trying to build something that actually matters,” says Festival Director Chris Miller. “Getting people together in a place like this, surrounded by so much beauty, creates space to celebrate, learn from each other, and hopefully leave a little more inspired to take action.”

The festival continues to expand its offerings in 2026, introducing enhanced travel infrastructure and accessibility tools for attendees making the journey to Alaska. New and returning options include discount flight partnerships, hotel packages, round-trip shuttle bundles from Anchorage, on-site camping and RV accommodations, and VIP experience tiers.

Sacred Acre continues to challenge the perception that traveling to Alaska is out of reach. With bundled options including GA tickets and round-trip shuttle access starting around $300, four-night on-site camping from $139, and average round-trip flights estimated at approximately $350 from most major US cities, attendees can experience the full festival for an estimated total of around $789. Compared to the rising costs of many U.S. festivals—often exceeding $1,200—Sacred Acre offers a uniquely accessible opportunity to explore Alaska without compromising on experience.

Outside of music programming, Sacred Acre’s true passion lies in environmental advocacy – specifically, fighting the devastating impacts of factory trawling. Through immersive experiences, educational workshops, and direct action, Sacred Acre invites every attendee to help protect our oceans and preserve the delicate balance of our ecosystems. Sacred Acre is about creating real change through music, art, and collective engagement.

Alaskan Adventure Packages

Sacred Acre continues to raise the bar on destination experiences with its signature lineup of excursions. Attendees can soar above the Cook Inlet with Alaska Ultimate Safaris on glacier helicopter tours, set sail on the DJ-led “Bumpin’ on the Bay” cruise through Kachemak Bay, dive into Coldwater Alaska’s  sustainable halibut spearfishing experience, or explore the land through guided plant foraging hikes and Kenai River fishing trips.

Wellness & Conscious Programming

The Stillwater Reflection Center returns as the heart of Sacred Acre’s wellness experience, offering over 25 free workshops in yoga, sound healing, ecstatic dance, cacao ceremonies, and more. Complemented by thoughtful talks, art installations, and social hubs like the Tranquilitea Lounge and Tavern, this programming helps guests reconnect with themselves and each other.

Visuals & Immersion

Sacred Acre transforms the Alaskan wilderness with stunning visuals, featuring the state’s largest laser light display and fully immersive stage environments. Hosting national lighting and visual artists such as Glass Crane and Papa Bear. The beloved SeaLegs Stilt Troupe returns with theatrical performances and brand-new characters, weaving a live narrative throughout the weekend that adds an element of fantasy and surprise at every turn.

ARCHES Campground & On-Site Comforts

Expanded gear rental options, bundled camping packages, and shuttle access ensure attendees have everything they need for a seamless, comfortable Alaskan adventure.

Miami DJ and entrepreneur Eddy Palermo announces BPMATHON, a world-first challenge to run 50K while DJing live at The Underline in Miami on August 8th 2026.

Taking place on Saturday 8th August 2026, BPMATHON will see Eddy Palermo attempt to complete a 50K run while performing a continuous live DJ set, combining two of his greatest passions, music and endurance sport, in an event designed to inspire and create meaningful impact.

BPMATHON will take place at The Underline, Miami’s 10-mile linear park and urban trail stretching from Brickell to Dadeland. A landmark public space beneath the Metrorail, The Underline has become a vibrant corridor where millions come to move, live and grow together. To make the challenge possible, Eddy will perform using a custom-built, self-pushed DJ rig on wheels, allowing him to run and DJ live simultaneously throughout the full 50K challenge.

The initiative will raise money for Friends of The Underline, a Miami-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming public space into opportunities for healthier, more active living. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, screens and social media, Friends of The Underline’s mission is to encourage people to be active, move their bodies, and decompress from the stresses of modern life through running, biking and walking. The BPMATHON aims to help more people build healthier habits and reconnect with the outdoors through accessible, community-driven movement.

During BPMATHON, Eddy’s event brand ZENSKI will also activate along the course with a live pop-up party experience on the route. Designed to transform sections of the race path into immersive music moments, the activation will bring together runners, spectators, and Miami’s local music community through sound, movement and energy. Founded by Eddy in 2024, ZENSKI has evolved into a Miami-based events platform known for immersive decor, inclusive experiences, and a commitment to female-forward lineups within electronic music culture.

Eddy Palermo Comments:

“BPMATHON is the fusion of endurance running with the magic of music. The idea came about when I saw videos online of people running 5Ks while DJing, and I said to myself, “why not run 50K?”. This is a real challenge for me because just running 50K without DJing is difficult, and just DJing for seven hours without running is difficult. Doing both at the same time will definitely push me to a new limit.”

Estimated to take seven hours, BPMATHON is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. Running 50K alone is a major feat. DJing continuously for seven hours requires intense concentration, stamina and energy. Combining both simultaneously creates an entirely new level of endurance.

Born in Miami to Cuban and Italian parents and raised in Weston, Florida, Eddy’s life has long been shaped by music, sports, and passion. From discovering his love of electronic music as a teenager at Ultra Music Festival then later spending hours at Club Space, to building a career in events, sales and entrepreneurship, he has consistently pushed himself beyond conventional limits. Between 2020 and 2025, Eddy completed 14 endurance races, including 7 Ironman competitions and 7 marathons, using endurance sport as a foundation for discipline, resilience and mental strength. Those same values now sit at the heart of BPMATHON.

Eddy Palermo Shares:

“The deeper purpose behind this is that music and running are both huge passions of mine, and there’s nothing more I want to do than make a positive impact on the world through music. If this inspires even just one person to get out there and pursue their passions, or start running, this is a huge success. We’re raising money in support of Friends of The Underline, helping to encourage more people to get outside, be active, and step away from the stresses of modern life through running, biking, walking, and movement.”

At its core, BPMATHON is about proving what can happen when passion meets discipline. It is a challenge built not only around pushing boundaries, but around inspiring others to pursue ambitious goals, prioritise wellbeing, and redefine their perceived limits.

BPMATHON marks the first chapter in a wider global movement uniting music, endurance and wellness, created to inspire communities, promote positive lifestyle choices and encourage people to push beyond their perceived limits, with plans to curate further BPMATHON events globally. 

Official Partners for BPMATHON include:

• ZENSKI
• AlphaTheta
• MIAFMTV
• Orbit Baby
• StrollRunner
• Buzz Bomb
• + more to be announced 

Location: The Underline Inter Stage, 805 SW 1st Ave, Miami FL, 33130

Date: Saturday August 8th, 2026

Thomas Will have had an astonishing music career since forming in 2016 making this year their 10^th anniversary. To celebrate this huge milestone they’ve released the brand-new album ‘In House We Trust.’

The album is a spectacular display of everything that’s made Thomas Will so successful over the years with an incredibly impressive amalgamation of styles. ‘In House We Trust’ has influences from the worlds of future rave, deep house, progressive house, and many more genres which Tuomas Hukkanen and Wili-Veikko Nuutinen have brought together expertly. Their signature festival house style shines with their caption on Spotify for the album encapsulating the albums energy perfectly, “For the dancefloors.”

The opening track ‘For You’ kicks off the album with a sound tailor made for festivals which continues into the next few tracks. ‘Coutoure’ is a real high point on the album with an incredibly catchy bassline that’s sure to get fists pumping. The album then shifts more towards progressive house with the wonderfully euphoric ‘Back To Me’ and ‘Got No Love’ which add another dimension to ‘In House We Trust.’ Each song has new unique leads and bass sounds keeping each song feeling fresh showing the creative capabilities of Thomas Will. They display every bit of skill that’s come to be expected from the seasoned producers who always deliver immaculate dancefloor energy.

‘In House We Trust’ is a perfect celebration of Thomas Will’s illustrious career and shows why they’ve been so highly regarded over the last 10 years. Here’s to the next 10 years of fantastic festival house from the Finnish duo.
