Réveillon Carneiros Celebrates 10 Years with Black Coffee, Michael Bibi, ANOTR and Jamie Jones

by

Réveillon Carneiros will celebrate its 10th anniversary with an eight-day edition on Brazil’s northeast coast when it returns to Praia dos Carneiros in Pernambuco from 26 December 2026 to 2 January 2027.

The anniversary edition plays out under the theme of The Eternal Now, reflecting on ten years of the festival and the meeting point between past, present and future: the now. At a time when attention is constantly being pulled elsewhere, the theme asks a simple question: Are you here now?

The festival brings together 94 acts across electronic and Brazilian music, spanning different scenes and generations. Black Coffee, Michael Bibi, ANOTR and Jamie Jones lead a lineup that also includes Jimi Jules, Kerri Chandler, Mau P, Monolink, WhoMadeWho, Hot Since 82, Carlita and Franky Rizardo.

The programme also features a series of special back-to-back sets, including Adriatique b2b Vintage Culture, Mochakk b2b Maz and Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami, while Brazilian music will have a key presence with Gilberto Gil performing with Gilsons, alongside forró artist João Gomes, Thiaguinho and Syon Trio.

Réveillon Carneiros will also introduce its first Wellness Club for the 2026/27 edition, created in collaboration with NOW Festival. Conceived as a daytime club with its own programme, the space will feature a sauna, ice bath and massage treatments, alongside workouts, yoga, pilates, talks and workshops. Guests will be able to come and go throughout the day, with access included with both the Full Pass and Night Pass. The existing Ritual programme will also return, offering meditation, sound healing and other wellness sessions throughout the festival.

As part of its 10-year celebration, Réveillon Carneiros expands to three stages, with the new Labryinto Stage joining the Main Stage and Trópico Stage. Created in collaboration with Labryinto, the collective behind gatherings in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, the new stage will combine electronic music with its own approach to architecture and production.

The Main Stage will host the festival’s larger-scale performances, while the Trópico Stage will offer a more intimate setting with a house-focused programme. Across the three spaces, the festival will present different musical directions throughout its five Night Celebrations.

The Night Celebrations run from 10pm to 6am, with New Year’s Eve extending from 8pm to 8am. Both the Full Pass and Night Pass include an open bar and food throughout the night, with food served by Arcádia.

The programme continues at Mouton Beach Club, with six sunset parties running from 4pm to 10pm. Villa Mouton serves as a central meeting point throughout the experience, bringing together services and conveniences across the eight days.

The 2026/27 edition marks a decade since Réveillon Carneiros first launched in Pernambuco. Over that period, the festival has developed from a local New Year’s celebration into an international event, with the previous edition welcoming guests from 68 countries and every state in Brazil.

Ten years after its first New Year’s celebration in Carneiros, the festival returns to where it began, looking back at its history while asking what it means to be present now.

Metamorfosi Closes 2026 Amnesia Ibiza Season with Sold Out Joseph Capriati B3B Jamie Jones B3B Chris Stassy

by

Metamorfosi has brought its record breaking 2026 season at Amnesia Ibiza to a close after another much talked about summer residency that saw Joseph Capriati return to the club for a programme spanning established names, emerging talent and the very best sounds across the house and techno spectrum. 

Running every Tuesday from 30th June to 29th September, the residency formed part of Amnesia Ibiza’s 50th anniversary year and marked Capriati’s return to the club where his career developed. Across the season, Metamorfosi presented artists including Richie Hawtin, Jamie Jones, Chris Stassy, Seth Troxler, Mau P, Josh Baker, Max Dean and Ben Klock, alongside Maceo Plex, WhoMadeWho, Damian Lazarus, Freddy K, Cloonee, Dubfire, Anfisa Letyago, Traumer, Fatima Hajji and Wade.

The sold out closing night on 29th September brought the season to a final chapter with a back-to-back featuring Capriati, Jamie Jones and Chris Stassy who all brought their A-game and played a mix of red hot new IDs, some summer classics and plenty of slick grooves in between, with an after party at 528, “THE DAY AFTER”

Alongside its Terrace programme, Metamorfosi placed real emphasis on the Club Room with a dedicated techno-focused programme throughout the summer. Artists including Alarico, Serafina, Adiel and Quest featured among a new generation of artists shaping the current underground techno landscape, alongside established figures from the genre.

The dual-room format was central to Metamorfosi’s approach to the season, with the Terrace and Club Room offering different but complementary musical directions. The Club Room in particular provided a platform for a more underground and techno-led sound, reinforcing the residency’s broader focus on musical depth and contemporary club culture.

With the closing now complete, Metamorfosi’s 2026 chapter at Amnesia comes to an end after an unforgettable summer that saw Joseph Capriati once again host the most unmissable weekly sessions for underground music lovers.

DHB Festival Portugal 2026 Welcomes 6,000 Guests to Costa da Caparica for a Weekend of Music, Sunsets and Beachside Culture

by

HB Festival Portugal welcomed around 6,000 people to its fourth edition on 18 – 19 September, bringing two days of house, Afro, organic and minimal sounds to a beachfront setting in Costa da Caparica, just south of Lisbon.

Built directly on the beach, this year’s edition offered a different kind of festival experience with a carefully curated music programme mixed with the relaxed pace of Portugal’s Atlantic coastline. Across the weekend, guests experienced two beach parties, two after parties and a closing session featuring artists from the DHB Records family, with more than 20 artists performing across five events.

Friday opened with a groove-led programme featuring Beltran, acclaimed selector Carlita and UK tech-house favourite Josh Baker, alongside Oxhalá, Mehdi, Rafael and Rome. Saturday shifted towards Afro, organic and minimal sounds, with pioneering cult figure Luciano, Bedouin and Ahmed Spins leading the lineup, joined by Rooléh, Saraga and Portugal’s own Just Kelly.

The festival’s location was central to the experience, with the entire production built on the beach and the Atlantic providing the backdrop throughout the weekend. Two sunsets marked the end of each festival day, while a range of spaces away from the dancefloor included a food court, shop area, tattoo and massage services and dedicated chill-out areas.

The result was an intimate, open-air setting that brought together the music, coastline and wider festival experience without losing the close-knit atmosphere that has become part of DHB Portugal’s identity.

DHB Festival Portugal is presented by Lisbon-based creative agency As We Are Events, the team behind Deep House Bible and DHB Records. The fourth edition continued the festival’s focus on bringing international and Portuguese artists together in distinctive locations, with Costa da Caparica offering the perfect setting for the project as it continues to develop.

With its 2026 edition now complete, DHB Festival Portugal leaves behind a weekend defined by beachside music, long sunsets and a crowd of around 6,000 people gathered on Portugal’s Atlantic coast.

SXM Festival reveals landmark 10th edition lineup with Bob Sinclar, Franky Rizardo, MEDUZA, Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky and more

by

Since its first edition in 2016, SXM has built a reputation around something difficult to recreate anywhere else: an entire island becoming part of the festival. There is no single festival site. Over five days, guests move between beaches, villas, clubs, hilltops and unexpected locations across both the French and Dutch sides of St. Martin — the island isn’t simply where the festival takes place, it’s part of the experience.

For its 10th edition, SXM returns to the idea that started it all: exceptional music, extraordinary places and enough freedom for the unexpected to happen.
Music has always come first at SXM. Rather than building the biggest lineup possible, the festival has developed its identity through a carefully curated mix of established artists, respected selectors and emerging talent, and the 2027 lineup continues that approach.

French house icon Bob Sinclar joins global electronic trio MEDUZA and progressive house pioneer Sasha, alongside Claptone, Guy Gerber, Dombresky (Disco Dom) and a new generation of artists shaping the international electronic music scene. Across previous editions, SXM has welcomed artists including Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, Bonobo and Richie Hawtin, while introducing its audience to emerging names at pivotal moments in their careers. Every artist has to make sense for the island, the location and the moment.

SXM is as much about St. Martin as it is about the lineup. The island’s French and Dutch sides each have their own culture, atmosphere and rhythm, and during SXM, guests experience both, moving between venues and discovering the island along the way.

A day might begin on a beach, continue over lunch in a small village, move to a sunset party and end somewhere completely different from where anyone expected. You run into people you met the night before. Someone tells you about another party. A quick stop turns into three hours, and the same faces start appearing at restaurants, on boats, on beaches and eventually back on the dancefloor.

With guests travelling from more than 58 countries in recent editions, SXM creates an international community that feels surprisingly familiar by the end of the week. And at a time when almost everything is planned, posted and documented as it happens, SXM still leaves room to disappear for a while. Some of the best moments aren’t on the schedule.

SXM Festival Founder Julian Prince says “From the beginning, I never wanted SXM to be the biggest festival. I wanted people to go home with stories they would still be telling years later. You come for the music, but then the island takes over. You discover places you didn’t know existed, meet people you never expected to meet, and suddenly you’re watching the sun come up with friends you made two days ago. Ten editions later, that feeling is still there. Protecting it is what matters most to me.”Ten editions don’t happen without an island that believes in you. When Hurricane Irma devastated St. Martin in 2017, the SXM community rallied around the island and supported its recovery. The pandemic brought another interruption, but the relationship between the festival and St. Martin endured — through it all, SXM kept coming back.

Today, local crews, suppliers, venues, restaurants, hotels, drivers and businesses across both sides of St. Martin remain integral to the festival. Its impact extends beyond the dancefloor: international guests stay in local hotels and villas, eat in restaurants, rent cars and boats, and discover the island throughout their stay. For SXM, sustainability is not only environmental — it’s about building an event that maintains a positive, lasting relationship with the place that hosts it.

The 10th edition celebrates the artists, island partners, team members and international community that have shaped SXM since its beginning. Ten editions later, St. Martin isn’t simply the backdrop to SXM — it’s the reason SXM feels like SXM.

As SXM enters its second decade, the festival remains committed to the spirit that defined its beginning: bringing people together through music, discovery and the freedom to experience St. Martin in their own way. The 2027 edition will celebrate that legacy while opening a new chapter, with further artists, parties and anniversary experiences to be revealed in the coming months.

Ten editions. The island is your dancefloor. Tickets and travel information are available now at sxmfestival.com

The lineup for the 16th edition of Monsterland Halloween Festival continues to grow ahead of Saturday 31 October 2026. Taking place at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy, historic home of the San Marino F1 Grand Prix, Monsterland returns as the biggest Halloween festival in Europe, with organisers expecting 55,000 attendees for its 2026 edition.

More than a traditional music festival, Monsterland is a fully immersive Halloween experience, bringing together multiple genres of music, performance, entertainment and elaborate production across 13 themed stages. From rap and urban to house, techno, hard techno and electronic music, the programme brings together artists and audiences from across the musical spectrum within one expansive Halloween environment.

Alongside the music, Monsterland’s programme includes a Horror Luna Park with themed rides, an Escape Room, a Wrestling Arena, a Freestyle Motocross Show, roaming performances and immersive installations across the site.

Following the first announcements of Salmo and Marco Carola, a wave of major new names has now been added across the festival’s three main stages. The Horror Warehouse Stage welcomes Artie 5ive, Kid Yugi, Noyz Narcos and Guè, joining Salmo. The Witch Forest Stage by Jägermeister expands with Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Ale De Tuglie, Frank Storm, Gauthier DM and Bryou, alongside Marco Carola. The Galactica Stage by Cocoricò adds Fantasm, Luca Agnelli, Paolo Ferrara, Gianni Di Bernardo, Daisy, Santos and Winson.

Beyond the three main stages, Monsterland’s wider programme spans 10 further stages and areas, each with its own distinct identity. The Cima Stage, run in collaboration with Buongiorno Classic, Made, Marea, Send and Mangrovia, brings together genre-crossing names including DJ r[a]lf, Kellie Allen and Mirko Loco. Al Mugello Non Si Dorme delivers high-intensity electronic sounds from Metempsicosi, Killer Faber and Geo From Hell, while the Adrenaline Stage features Radio 105’s Paolo Noise alongside resident host Lady Ross.

The Cemetery Garden Stage takes on a darker, more atmospheric tone with Cesare vs Desorder and others, while the Jäger Music Lab spotlights emerging names in electronic music. Toilet Circus by Fidelio brings house music and unconventional party energy from Neverdogs, Joe Venditti and Elbio & Denis, while the Red Bull Secret Energy Zone, in collaboration with Wood Club, features Lele Sacchi and DJ Uovo. The Technobus Stage rounds out the programme with hard techno sets from Ezediel, Purple Mash and Rav, among others.

Now in its 16th year, Monsterland has established itself as Europe’s largest costume festival, having welcomed more than 340,000 attendees from over 50 countries across its history, including more than 42,000 attendees in 2025. More than 1,000 national and international artists have performed across its stages to date.

For 2026, Monsterland continues to expand beyond the traditional festival format, combining a multi-genre music programme with immersive environments, live entertainment and interactive experiences to create a large-scale Halloween event designed to be experienced across the entire site.

Major Festival ‘Somerset Sounds’ Launches Creating a New National Music Destination

by

In a major expansion of the UK’s live music infrastructure, Somerset County Cricket Club has announced a joint partnership with award-winning live entertainment company Full Fat 360 to launch Somerset Sounds, a brand-new, annual summer concert destination. Launching in Summer 2027 at the iconic Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton, the landmark project will establish a bold new festival on the UK live music circuit for international touring acts.

The launch marks a strategic move to establish the Cooper Associates County Ground as a primary UK live entertainment destination in its own right, expanding the venue’s footprint beyond its 145-year sporting legacy dating back to 1881. Building on an extensive track record of staging major live events and welcoming internationally renowned artists including the likes of Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart and Lionel Richie, Somerset Sounds represents the next ambitious and natural step in the venue’s evolution on a national scale. The initiative represents a transformative project to establish a fresh consumer brand that turns Taunton into a staple stop on the international summer tour circuit, driving major tourism, cultural identity, and economic impact across the region.

Surrounded by the iconic backdrop of the Quantock Hills and historic church towers, the venue will host major outdoor main-stage shows welcoming thousands of fans on the outfield, supported by premium hospitality packages in the stands and an expansive new St James Street Fan Village featuring curated food, drink, and cultural pop-ups. Located just minutes from Taunton train station with connections across the UK, including direct links to London, Bristol, and Exeter, Somerset Sounds bridges the gap between major metropolitan stadium runs and national music audiences.

The initiative is co-promoted and delivered by Full Fat 360, an award-winning UK promoter known for building major stadium and arena shows across the country. Full Fat 360’s national portfolio includes high-profile stadium developments such as the major SMK Live festival series at Milton Keynes’ 30,000-capacity Stadium MK, and headline shows including Kings of Leon and the multi-act BS3 Festival at Bristol’s Ashton Gate.

Whether inspiring people through elite sport or bringing important income to the region, Somerset CCC has a crucial role to play within the economy of the South West. 2025 saw an impact analysis commissioned in order to demonstrate the economic value of SCCC’s contribution to the local and regional economy. The report estimated that after attracting 150,000 visitors a year to the Cooper Associates County Ground, and after taking into consideration the Club’s annual turnover, Somerset County Cricket Club will contribute in excess of £20m per annum and directly supports over 200 jobs in the local area.

“The Cooper Associates County Ground already has an incredible legacy of hosting world-class live entertainment, and Somerset Sounds is the next ambitious step in that evolution. Taunton and the wider region have a massive appetite for major live music, and this partnership allows us to establish the region as a destination on the national touring circuit. 

We’re thrilled to be working with Somerset County Cricket Club to bring international acts to this iconic venue and build an event series the entire South West can be proud of. Summer 2027 is only the beginning.” 

Oli Bartlam – Founder, Full Fat 360 

“Somerset Sounds represents an important step in the evolution of the Club and the Cooper Associates County Ground. Cricket will always be at the heart of who we are, but we have a much wider ambition for the venue and for the role it can play within Somerset. 

We want to create experiences that bring new audiences to Taunton from across the South West and beyond, while generating meaningful economic and cultural benefits for the County. We have a proud history of hosting some of the world’s biggest artists here, and Somerset Sounds gives us the opportunity to build on that heritage and create something distinctive, ambitious and enduring. 

Our ambition is for Somerset Sounds to become one of the standout dates in the South West summer calendar and we’re incredibly excited about what we’re going to announce for 2027.”

Jamie Cox, Chief Executive Office, Somerset County Cricket Club 

The brand launch sets the stage for the inaugural Somerset Sounds 2027 series, with the first major headliners and line-up announcements scheduled for reveal very soon. For more information and to sign up for priority ticket access, visit the official website at somersetsounds.co.uk. 

Bateur festival reveals full lineup adding Miguelle & Tons and Bontan & more

by

Bateleur Festival has confirmed its full lineup ahead of its fourth edition, running 22nd to 25th October 2026. A festival like no other, Bateleur takes over an entire five-star resort in Elounda, Crete, exclusively for its guests, uniting house music, wellness and hospitality into one continuous weekend, with an intimate capacity of 500 guests.

Miguelle & Tons and Bontan step up alongside previously announced headliners Dennis Ferrer, Rafael and OMRI., rounding out a bill built entirely around house music, from raw and rolling to warm and melodic, playing out against one of the Mediterranean’s most striking coastlines.

Miami’s Miguelle & Tons bring their fusion of house, minimal and Latin rhythm, sharpened over a residency at Club Space Miami and through Two and a Half Cats, the label and party series they’ve turned into a launchpad for house talent. Bontan touches down as one of Beatport’s biggest-selling house artists, the Liverpool-born producer behind ‘Call You Back’ and ‘The First Time.’

They’re joined by Alik, Bonafique, CJ Jeff, Hard To Tell, Itayga, Jonatao, Mentesh, Miss Albi, Niv Yefet, N.O.Y, Nevos, SIK&SEM, SMAJJ, Toni B and Yarin Segev, filling out a programme that runs from poolside afternoons straight through to sunrise.

Music runs alongside a full wellness programme threaded through the four days, including yoga, sound healing, ice baths and workshops, creating intimate opportunities for connection and community. 

Elounda sits 45 minutes from Heraklion Airport, tucked into one of Crete’s most exclusive corners, close to the fishing village of Plaka, the submerged ruins of Olous and the harbour towns lining the coast.

EXIT To Montenegro festivals draw 150,000 attendees from over 100 countries

by

After political pressure over its support for student protests forced EXIT out of Serbia, the award-winning festival brand – this year’s Promoter of the Year at the European Festival Awards – staged EXIT to Montenegro in Ulcinj and Budva, which for this year was one of the largest and most significant free-to-attend music festivals of its kind globally, as part of an international tour spanning Europe and reaching as far as Egypt.

Alongside the upcoming first-ever multi-stage, multi-day festival at the Great Pyramids of Giza, Montenegro became a central chapter of the tour, following an agreement between EXIT and the Montenegrin Government focused on developing music tourism. EXIT’s Montenegro chapter opened at Long Beach in Ulcinj back in July and closed with a three-night Sea Dance finale on the beach in Budva. Around 150,000 people attended the two festivals, with audiences from more than 100 countries. Most international visitors travelled from Germany, the UK, Turkey, Italy, Poland, France, the United States and countries across the Balkan region.

Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić described EXIT’s arrival as an opportunity for the country to further strengthen its international profile. “EXIT is not just about bringing a major festival to Montenegro. It is an opportunity for the country to showcase its full potential, energy and openness – a confirmation that Montenegro is taking centre stage in the region and attracting attention from around the world” Spajić said following the Sea Dance Festival in Budva.

Earlier this year, when announcing the EXIT to Montenegro project, Spajić said that Montenegro was becoming EXIT’s new home in the year marking the 20th anniversary of the country’s independence. He estimated that the events in Ulcinj and Budva would generate at least 210,000 overnight stays and more than €40 million in tourism revenue during 2026.

Some of the world’s most in-demand artists, including HUGEL, Charlotte de Witte, Boris Brejcha and Argy, alongside Eurovision winner DARA, led the line-ups across the two festivals. They were joined by John Newman with his new live show, Enrico Sangiuliano, RPR Soundsystem, Marcel Dettmann, Mita Gami, BIIA, Monolink, Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, Stephan Bodzin, Lanna, Layla Benitez and Burak Yeter, alongside leading regional acts and a major showcase of Montenegro’s domestic music scene.

One of the strongest visual links between the two events was EXIT’s monumental 12-metre sculpture “Ivana”, transformed throughout the night through lighting and 3D mapping. The sculpture is dedicated to Ivana Kovačević, a mother of three and one of the most important members of the EXIT family, who passed away last year. Conceived as an act of love and remembrance, it also carries a broader message about the empowerment of the feminine principle, enduring love and the importance of protecting nature, especially Long Beach in Ulcinj, where the first edition was held.

Beyond the festivals themselves, EXIT’s Montenegro chapter also carried a strong humanitarian message through the “United for Kids” charity evening, which raised support for a rehabilitation house for children recovering from cancer treatment, as well as for the local Day Centre for children and young people with disabilities. John Newman, who himself battled cancer several years ago, supported the initiative with an intimate DJ set.

Reflecting on EXIT’s first season beyond Serbia and the success of its new international chapter, founder and CEO Dušan Kovačević said: “Following our departure from Serbia, it was a big challenge to completely transform our business model while already in motion. At times, it felt like upgrading an aircraft engine while the plane was still flying. However, we are extremely pleased  with how our international tour has unfolded so far. Every festival has been a great success, especially the recently concluded Sea Dance in Budva, and we are grateful to Montenegro for giving us its support when we needed it most. In return, we delivered truly exceptional events and fantastic images that travelled around the world. I am especially proud that, alongside some of the biggest international stars, we engaged as many as 122 local artists, giving them the opportunity to perform in front of an international audience”.

Building on a summer that connected Ulcinj and Budva, EXIT is continuing its international journey. The next stop on its global tour will be Egypt this October, where one of Europe’s leading festival brands has been entrusted with staging the first, full festival format in front of the iconic Pyramids of Giza, bringing this new chapter of EXIT’s international journey to a spectacular close.
