After the sold-out debut brought 15,000 people to the Portuguese capital, the second edition confirms its full lineup
No Art returns to Lisbon on Saturday 10th October 2026 one year after its sold-out debut edition with an even more ambitious line-up featuring house, melodic and tech tastemakers ANOTR, Adriatique, Franky Rizardo B2B Mau P, SG Lewis, Jennifer Loveless and Klin Klop.
Last year’s debut brought 15,000 people to a single night in Lisbon and sold out ahead of the event. It was the first time No Art and several of its associated artists had appeared in Portugal. The reaction on the night and in the months since have made a second edition inevitable.
No Art events combine forward-thinking house music with immersive art and unconventional locations. Previous editions have taken place in cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Miami, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo with large-scale installations and production elements that make each one truly unique.
This year’s bill leads with ANOTR and Adriatique, two of the most consistently in-demand names on the current European circuit. Franky Rizardo and Mau P join forces for a back-to-back that brings a distinct Dutch house sensibility to the stage, while SG Lewis contributes his genre-crossing take on dance and pop production. Jennifer Loveless, the Melbourne-based DJ and producer who built her reputation across Toronto’s dubstep and deep house scenes, makes her No Art debut alongside Klin Klop, who is one of Portugal’s own stars with a rhythm-driven sound that blends house influences with subtle live violin textures.
The event is produced by As We Are Events, the Lisbon-based creative agency specialising in large-scale electronic music and contemporary culture.

Three-time European Best Major Festival winner EXIT is bringing its globally recognised festival experience to Egypt this October with the launch of Starlight Festival, a brand-new multi-day concept taking place from October 8th-11th near the Great Pyramids of Giza in partnership with Venture Lifestyle and its electronic music platform P+US.
Leading the lineup are Charlotte de Witte with an exclusive first-ever performance in Egypt, Michael Bibi bringing his sound to the pyramids for the very first time, and global melodic techno phenomenon Adriatique, returning to the iconic location after previously delivering a monumental show attended by nearly 10,000 people. The programme further brings together Vintage Culture, Pete Tong, WhoMadeWho and Enrico Sangiuliano, alongside dozens of regional and international artists.
Set against the desert sands beside one of the world’s most significant symbols of ancient civilisation, Starlight will unite the global electronic music community within a setting shaped by thousands of years of history, while bringing together one of the strongest electronic lineups the region has seen to date.
As one of the key stops of EXIT’s expanding global tour, the festival’s main nights will take place on October 9 and 10 near the pyramids, while opening and closing events will unfold across selected locations throughout Cairo. Across more than five festival stages and zones, Starlight will also feature one of the world’s most advanced VR experiences, originally unveiled at Expo Dubai.
Starlight’s two main festival nights will be held on October 9 and 10 against the Great Pyramids of Giza, while the opening and closing events will unfold across selected locations throughout Cairo. Across more than five festival stages and zones, Starlight will also feature one of the world’s most advanced VR experiences, originally unveiled at Expo Dubai. As with other events held in the area, Starlight will not be staged directly at the pyramids, which will serve as a monumental backdrop from a specially designated location developed in accordance with the site’s historical importance and protected status.
Dušan Kovačević, founder and CEO of EXIT Festival, said: “It is a great honour to be invited to bring the premium festival concept near one of the grandest monuments in human history. EXIT has always been known for combining world-class entertainment with a strong social mission, which in this case will be dedicated to celebrating Egypt’s extraordinary cultural heritage to a global audience. We are especially pleased to have Venture Lifestyle as our partner on this project, given their reputation for delivering exceptional events in the region.”
Highlighting the growing importance of music tourism whose total value is over $100 billion globally, Rabih Mokbel, founder and CEO of Venture Lifestyle and its platform P+US, added: “It’s an honour for us at Venture Lifestyle to co-create Starlight alongside EXIT, a festival that has shaped the European scene for more than two decades. Bringing this legacy together in Egypt represents a major milestone for the region. We believe our collaboration will introduce a new generation of festival experiences and set a new benchmark for entertainment across MENA. Working hand-in-hand with EXIT’s team, we expect Starlight to attract a significant number of international visitors and contribute tens of millions of dollars to Egypt’s tourism economy, while establishing a long-term platform for cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East.”
Venture Lifestyle (VLS) is an Emirati-Lebanese entertainment and hospitality company based in Egypt, recognised for producing large-scale cultural, nightlife and live entertainment experiences across the Middle East and beyond. Through its electronic music platform P+US, the company has delivered globally recognised projects, including Anyma’s Quantum Genesys at the Great Pyramids of Giza, positioning itself among the region’s leading innovators in experiential entertainment. Tickets are available through the official Starlight Festival website.
