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.

2. 2Hamdi13UK bass with a dancehall bounce — the sound of a soundsystem set rather than a festival drop, 'Skanka' the breakout.
3. 3KETTAMA13Irish rave-house heat — big-room energy with underground credentials, breakbeats and pianos at full sprint, Galway-to-warehouse momentum fully underway.
4. 4Frost Children11Sibling NYC hyperpop chaos agents — glitchy, funny, and relentless, a live set that plays like a timeline scrolled at maximum speed.
5. 5Zara Larsson11Swedish pop machinery at its shiniest — 'Lush Life' to main-character bangers, delivered with total command.
6. 6Fcukers10NYC's buzziest indie-dance trio — baggy house grooves with downtown cool, like Madchester relocated to a Chinatown basement.

9. 9Ninajirachi10Glittering, game-engine electronic — Australia's most inventive young club producer, chiptune sparkle at rave pressure, drops that sparkle as hard as they hit.
10. 10Snow Strippers10Lo-fi electroclash duo — distorted synths and detached vocals for the afterparty, Detroit cool for the post-everything generation.

7. 7Nara's RoomNoisy pop-rock led by Nara Avakian — clever sampling, trip-hop undercurrents, and Y2K production that feels futuristic and nostalgic at once.
8. 8Ben UFOThe selector's selector — Hessle Audio's omnivorous ear, no productions needed; a world-class reputation built purely on what he plays and how.
9. 9LoneTechnicolor rave nostalgia — breakbeats bathed in VHS sunshine, hardcore's golden era remembered warmer than it ever actually sounded.
