Sacred Acre 2026 Phase II Lineup Announced
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
Located just steps from the main stage, the upgraded ARCHES Campground offers convenient, forest-adjacent lodging for the full weekend. Expanded gear rental options, bundled camping packages, and shuttle access ensure attendees have everything they need for a seamless, comfortable Alaskan adventure.
Tickets & Travel
Tickets for Sacred Acre 2026 are now on sale, with early bird GA, VIP, camping, and shuttle packages available. With support from partners like Delta Airlines, Alaska Airline, Midnight Sun Can Rentals and J&L Hospitality the festival is also offering discounts on airfare, lodging, RVs, and gear rentals.

Osheaga 2026: 10 EDM Sets You Can’t Miss
Osheaga 2026 brings Amelie Lens, Subtronics, Odd Mob, VTSS, Major Lazer and more to Montreal’s Parc Jean Drapeau, and here are the ten EDM sets you cannot miss.
We’re officially one month away from the 19th edition of Osheaga music and arts Festival. This festival is best known for their diverse lineup which has artists from the pop, indie, hip-hop, alternative, rock and electronic music genre. With many sets to see over the three-day festival weekend at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. There are 6 stages. From previous years setups it can be considered 3 islands of stages that hold 2 stages. For example a couple years ago on the left stage it was Labrinth so you have slower, sadder R&B and right after he finished the right stage commenced with Martin Garrix which is arguably the complete opposite being fast and upbeat.
Here are the 10 EDM sets to watch out for:
Day 1
MPH at 5:30pm on the Coca-Cola Island Stage
If you are looking to get funky this weekend come join the UK Garage artist known for meshing house and garage together for new sounds that we don’t typically get to hear. By blending UK garage, bass house, and club-ready rhythms into a sound that’s still relatively rare on North American festival lineups this will be a new experience to enjoy.
VTSS at 6:30 on the Coca-Cola Stage
Mayrtyna Maja is a Polish DJ who will be making the crowd scream with her high energy techno set.
Amelie Lens at 9:45pm on the Coca-Cola Stage
This future mother to be will be closing off the first day of Osheaga with a hypnotizing techno set. The crowd will be hoping to hear the original of the trending social media sound “I know I should sleep… but the voices in my head go…”
Day 2
Laura Scavo 2:00pm on the Coca-Cola Stage
You won’t want to miss this opening set because you’ll never want it to end – you’ll just keep wanting to dance till the morning. Laura is a top Montreal DJ who plays at their top clubs and festivals. While the sun is shining you’ll be bopping and bouncing to the jungle house vibes she usually brings.
Zulan 6:30pm on the Coca-Cola Stage
This will be a set that you’ll want to go on forever because you will just want to keep on dancing to the various blends she will be bringing to the dance floor; it could be house, garage or high energy EDM.
It’s Murph at 7:35pm on the Coca-Cola Stage
Come get lost in the music at It’s Murph’s set. After exploding in popularity through TikTok and social media, It’s Murph has quickly become a rising house artist.
Odd Mob at 8:40pm on the Coca-Cola Stage
It won’t be possible to not be moving left to right his whole set. With original songs falling in the tech house category and club remixes this set will allow ravers to have so much fun dancing and singing right around sunset.
Day 3
Zara Larsson at 6:40pm on the Bell River Stage
While Zara Larsson isn’t traditionally considered an EDM artist, her music has become a staple of the dance music world. Countless producers have remixed her biggest hits, and she’s collaborated with several electronic artists throughout her career. Her catalogue is packed with songs that festival crowds love to sing along to.
Subtronics 8:05 pm on the Belairdirect Valley Stage
The crowd will be gassed up for the opportunity to finally get a touch of bass Osheaga weekend. Expect all the rail shaking, head banging and mosh pits.
Major Lazer 9:15pm on the Scotia Forest Stage
The group will be lighting things up to close off Osheaga weekend. It will be such a powerful set full of dancing and all the music that brings us back to circa 2016 which is what everyone wants this summer to be!
Whether you’re a techno lover, house head, bass enthusiast, or simply looking to discover something new, Osheaga 2026 has an electronic lineup that’s worth exploring. With artists spread throughout the weekend, it’s easy to build a schedule that lets you experience both the festival’s diverse programming and some of the best dance music acts on the lineup.
