Following a seismic Phase One reveal, Terminal V now announces another electric shock wave with Phase Two of its 2026 lineup featuring more techno heavyweights, future disruptors and cutting-edge artists. Returning to the Royal Highland Centre & Showground on 18 – 19 April 2026, next year’s edition, with six stages, 100+ artists and 40000 visitors, will be the most powerful in the festival’s already rich history. Tickets are on sale from Thursday 4th December at 9am.

Phase Two introduces another expansive list of artists across the spectrum of techno, industrial, rave and contemporary club sounds, with each bringing their own energy to Terminal V’s continually evolving sound. 

Bringing together some of the most exciting names in contemporary club culture, the Phase Two lineup spans heavyweight techno innovators, fast-rising talents and boundary-pushing collaboration. Leading the charge is a serious selection of B2Bs including a hybrid sound rooted in modern rave, steppy percussion and hard-edged groove from Ben Techy x Luciid, a heavyweight meeting of Clouds x Tommy Holohan, bass-driven club and techno momentum from Dart x Kyle Starkey, distinct yet complementary worlds of hard-edged rhythm from DJ Gigola x Øtta, Benwal x Helena Lauwaert plus SIM0NE x SPFDJ and sets from BYORN, Emilija, I Hate Models, Nicolas Julian, Pegassi, Santøs, Alex Farell, Lola Cerise, Fumi and Will Atkinson. This collective of artists represents a broad sweep of the sounds shaping Europe’s dancefloors right now – high-velocity techno, modern rave, trance-leaning power, industrial pressure and cutting-edge club futurism. 

This latest announcement builds directly on the momentum of Phase One, which introduced a razor-sharp cross-section of global techno from Detroit icon Robert Hood to the UK debut of Sara Landry’s ETERNALISM, to breakout stars such as Ben Hemsley alongside Mall Grab, Klangkuenstler, East End Dubs, Clara Cuvé, Somewhen, Patrick Mason, Anetha and more. A third lineup announcement will arrive early next year and round off the biggest Terminal V bill to date with more than 100 artists set to feature. 

Alongside the artist reveal, Terminal V also confirms a landmark £1 million investment into site development and production upgrades for 2026. Following feedback, this is a transformative step designed to elevate every aspect of the festival experience. These improvements will roll out across all stages, facilities and audience areas and underpin Terminal V’s continued rise as one of Europe’s leading large-scale electronic music festivals. 

The changes include every stage being fully upgraded and redesigned, new PA systems and advanced speaker setups for a radically improved sound experience and collaborations with a leading global sound partner to deliver the most precise Terminal V audio yet. There will also be a welcome return of the beloved Area V stage in its original format, plus five additional, newly developed stages for deeper immersion and scale as well as brand-new chillout zones and expanded indoor and outdoor seating. 

There will also be a significantly widened food offering with options for all budgets plus vegan and dietary-friendly vendors, double the number of toilets with upgraded cleaning teams operating continuously, the return of festival lockers, large-format venue maps and improved directional signage across all major routes, twice as many digital display towers providing live schedule updates and festival announcements, a full lighting review, enhanced walkway illumination for safer movement day and night and a redesigned VIP environment with capped capacity, upgraded viewing areas, faster service points and exclusive facilities for a next-level premium experience.

The 2026 site will be fully enclosed with reinforced perimeter fencing and newly installed overhanging SteelShield barriers. This major security upgrade eradicates fence-jumping and ensures a safer, fully protected festival environment for everyone.

Consistently ranked among DJ Mag’s Best Festivals in the World, Terminal V continues to evolve at a pace matched only by the scene itself, which is why 40,000 people from all over the world travel in numbers to the festival.

With two phases now revealed and one more still to come, the 2026 edition of Terminal V is set to be very special and unlike anything anyone has ever experienced before.
