EDM festivals

66 festivals still to come with EDM on the bill, carrying 304 of the 529 EDM acts we track. Every act has a page: which festivals they play, what time they go on once the festival says, and what they sound like if the name is new to you.

Dance music at a festival arrives as one continuous mix, tracks blended so there is no gap to clap into. The low end travels through the ground before it reaches your ears. Builds stretch out, lights and smoke land on the drop at the same instant, and the whole field moves together.

These acts stack up after dark, in tents and side stages that keep running once the main field has emptied. Daytime slots lean softer, broken beats and vocals you can stand still to. Expect a person behind a table with a wall of screens above them, and a crowd facing the booth the whole time.

EDM festivals in 2026

Every bill still ahead of you with real EDM on it, deepest first. A festival needs at least 2 EDM acts to be here, so one stray booking on a bill about something else does not count.

Who carries EDM this season

The EDM acts booked the most in 2026. Go to more than one festival and you have probably seen a few of them already.

  1. 1KETTAMA19Irish rave-house heat with big-room energy and underground credentials, breakbeats and pianos at full sprint, and Galway-to-warehouse momentum fully underway.
  2. 2Hamdi16UK bass with a dancehall bounce: the sound of a soundsystem set rather than a festival drop, with 'Skanka' the breakout.
  3. 3¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U14Osaka-born cult selector Yousuke Yukimatsu (genre-shredding DJ sets that went from viral clips to worldwide bookings) brings anything-goes technique with total joy.
  4. 4Frost Children13Sibling NYC hyperpop chaos agents, glitchy, funny, and relentless, with a live set that plays like a timeline scrolled at maximum speed.
  5. 5Levity13Trio riding the new melodic-bass wave: riddim with feelings, drops that aim at the chest and the heart at once.
  6. 6Fcukers11NYC's buzziest indie-dance trio, with baggy house grooves and downtown cool, like Madchester relocated to a Chinatown basement.
  7. 7LYNY11Textural, psychedelic bass music that is heavy without being blunt about it.
  8. 8MPH11UK garage revival heat with skippy drums and low-end pressure, two-step engineered for the new generation of dancefloors.
  9. 9Zara Larsson11Swedish pop machinery at its shiniest, from 'Lush Life' to main-character bangers, delivered with total command.
  10. 10Boys Noize10Alex Ridha's brand of electro is abrasive by design: hardware-driven, distorted, and consistently ahead of whatever is fashionable, two decades running.
