Ministry of Sound Announces 2026 Resident DJs with HOME ROOTED Showcase

by

London institution Ministry of Sound announces a new resident DJ programme for 2026, introducing a cohort of artists who will play a central role in shaping the club’s sound both in London and internationally. The programme launches on 14 March with HOME ROOTED, a showcase event dedicated to the six residents representing the club for 2026.

DJ residencies have long been the backbone of club culture, including at Ministry of Sound who have famously had the likes of DJ Harvey, Tony Humphries and CJ Mackintosh over the years. Alongside those favourites, figures such as Frankie Knuckles at The Warehouse, Larry Levan at Paradise Garage and Marcel Dettmann at Berghain have demonstrated how consistent residents can define the musical identity of a venue and influence a city’s sonic culture. With this programme, Ministry of Sound places Resident DJs back at the centre of club culture.

Says Head of Talent, Travis Derrick, “Ministry of Sound has always been a place where new talent can grow into global artists. With HOME ROOTED, we’re celebrating the DJs who are part of the club’s DNA – artists who have already built a connection with our dancefloor and who we believe are ready for the next stage. This residency is about backing those artists properly and giving them the platform to represent both the club in London & on a global level.”

The residents to be announced are Paisley Jensen, Basso, Omari and Daniella Font, all of whom have previously played at the club and established themselves as reliable selectors within London’s underground circuit. Two further artists, Chanel Carmichael and Siân Own, are also part of the 2026 residency programme, focusing primarily on international appearances as part of the club’s global touring schedule.

The launch arrives as Ministry of Sound marks its 35th anniversary, with the residency programme forming part of the wider global celebrations. Alongside regular appearances in London, selected residents will represent the brand internationally through key dates on the Ministry of Sound 35 World Tour, bringing the club’s sound to audiences worldwide in locations such as Miami, Ibiza, Mykonos, Bali and more. 

The programme underscores the club’s continued commitment to its core sound and the DJs who drive it, locally and internationally.

Address: 103 Gaunt Street, London, SE1 6DP

Timings: 10:30 – 05:00

Surreal Park’s Soul Festival announces Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, KiNK (live), Mochakk, Len Faki, Guy J, Ratier, Sasha and more

by

Surreal Park, one of the world’s biggest nightlife destinations with a 135,000m² clubbing complex, will host three simultaneous stages curated by Defected, D EDGE and We Are Lost this April

Set inside one of the world’s largest clubbing spaces, Surreal Park based in Camboriú, Santa Catarina (Brazil), an open-air environment that lets audiences move between multiple stages, outdoor areas and distinct worlds in a single night.

On April 3rd Surreal Park returns with Soul Festival, the fourth edition of its annual in-house festival concept. Designed as a celebration of what truly moves a dancefloor – identity, heritage and connection – the event unfolds across three simultaneous stages, Ritual, Bells and Nomad, each curated by a globally recognised institution within club culture.

Ritual by Defected – House music, in its living form

Surreal Park’s main stage welcomes Defected, one of the most influential and enduring names in global House music.

A defining moment will be Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, a rare meeting of two foundational Detroit figures whose shared roots shaped the DNA of modern House and Techno. Also confirmed is KiNK (live), celebrated for unpredictable, fully organic performances, with appearances in Brazil notably rare. Mochakk makes his long-awaited Surreal Park debut, arriving as one of Brazil’s most internationally in-demand artists. Ratier, Surreal Park’s host and creative force, joins the lineup with nearly 30 years of career and an influential presence across House and Techno.

Bells by D EDGE – Techno at full pressure

Curated by São Paulo institution D EDGE, with over 25 years of continuous history shaping Brazil’s electronic scene, Bells delivers hypnotic, straight-to-the-point Techno.

Headlining is Len Faki, historic Berghain resident and one of the genre’s most respected figures, known for precise, high-energy sets. Also on the stage: Mila Journee, Aninha, plus one additional artist to be announced.

Nomad by We Are Lost – Progressive storytelling and long-form immersion

The festival’s third axis arrives via Nomad by We Are Lost, marking the first time the We Are Lost festival concept lands in Brazil. Led by Guy J, the brand is known for narrative flow, emotional tension and long-form immersion. This will be Guy J’s fourth appearance at Surreal Park, continuing a relationship defined by consistently packed floors.

He is joined by Sasha, a true icon of Progressive House and a central figure in the genre since the 1990s, alongside Sahar Z and Surreal Park resident Teclas.

A festival built for a venue of global scale

Soul Festival is designed specifically for the scale of Surreal Park’s 135,000m² complex, allowing audiences to move fluidly between House, Techno and Progressive, while experiencing the venue’s open-air atmosphere, wide outdoor spaces and multi-stage layout. The result is a night that feels both personal and massive: three curated rooms, one destination, and a crowd building its own journey across the site.

Soul Festival takes place on April 3rd at Surreal Park in Camboriú, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Early tickets are available through the official platforms via the Surreal Park website. Further information, set times and updates will be announced through Surreal Park’s official channels.

ANOTR, Mau P and Dennis Cruz Lead Gates of Agartha 2026 at Croatia’s Ancient Roman Quarry

by

Gates of Agartha has revealed the line-up for its 2026 Croatia edition, returning to the ancient Cave Romane quarry in Pula from June 4–7 with ANOTR, Mau P, Dennis Cruz, Hot Since 82, Traumer and Mita Gami leading the programme. The four-day event brings a curated selection of underground house, tech and melodic electronic artists to one of the region’s most visually distinctive open-air venues.

Headliners include Dutch duo ANOTR, performing a special extended sunrise set, alongside festival favourite Mau P, Spanish tech-house mainstay Dennis Cruz and UK producer Hot Since 82. Mita Gami joins with his blend of indie electronic and hypnotic grooves, while Avangart Tabldot and Saraga bring genre-fluid sets aligned with the festival’s underground direction.

Minimal specialist Traumer performs exclusively at the June 4 opening party at Pula Castle for Full Experience guests, setting the tone for the main programme across June 5–6 at Cave Romane. Support across the weekend comes from Ace Brothers, Zoe Done, Pablo Panda, Mene, Moukaide and Elena Mikac, completing a line-up rooted in underground house, minimal, deep tech and melodic sounds.

A defining feature of the Gates of Agartha is it’s otherworldy location. Set within a 2,000-year-old limestone quarry that once supplied stone for the Pula Arena Roman amphitheatre, Cave Romane is defined by towering 50-metre rock walls and powerful natural acoustics. Located in the coastal village of Vinkuran near Pula, the site sits within Istria’s historic landscape, a region often referred to locally as Terra Magica.

Founded by brothers Yalim and Yaaz Acar, creators of the Echoes From Agartha festival in Cappadocia, the project focuses on staging electronic music events in historically significant locations, transforming ancient landscapes into cinematic festival settings.

“Gates of Agartha was never meant to be just another festival,” say the founders. “Our vision has always been to create timeless moments where sound, history and community converge.”

The Croatia edition is proudly held in collaboration with BSH Events, a leading regional electronic music promoter known for high-impact productions across Croatia’s major venues and destinations and a loyal regional audience. Ticket prices range from €70–€180, with Full Experience packages including four nights’ accommodation at Monumenti, breakfast, fast-track entry and access to the opening and afterparties.

With its tightly curated scale, underground-led line-up and international audience, Gates of Agartha continues to position itself as a boutique electronic destination festival in Europe.

AMØK Mallorca Unveils Spring Season Featuring Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, Claptone’s Jackies & D&B Allstars

Award-winning nightclub AMØK has announced its Spring 2026 season fresh from being named Best Nightclub in Mallorca 2025 at the Mallorca Electronic Music (MEM) Awards. As the year rolls on, the game-changing venue continues to strengthen its position at the forefront of the island’s club culture with a high-impact run of electronic showcases, international collaborations and significant venue upgrades.

AMØK has undergone major improvements ahead of the new season, including enhanced VIP areas, a fully renewed lighting system and upgraded D&B audiotechnik sound system that all underline its reputation for immersive, high-spec production.

The spring programme launches this weekend with the electronic opening party on 6 March headlined by GENNARO FKA as BLACKCHILD, and that sets the tone for a bold, carefully curated run of events. The calendar continues with house and tech royalty from the sharp end of the scene with Ale de Tuglie & Manu González (13 March), Los Suruba (20 March), Toman (2 April) and Oliver Koletzki (3 April) all playing. 

A key highlight arrives on 11 April when independent Barcelona based house label and global events brand Jackie’s arrives with deep house magician Claptone, followed the same night by the official Jackie’s Afterparty with Les Castizos. Late April sees Super Flu (25 April) and Lunnas (30 April), before D&B All Stars (3 May) and a major Drumcode takeover (8 – 10 May) featuring techno legends Adam Beyer, Joris Voorn, Pan Pot and more.

Beyond electronic programming, AMØK continues to diversify its cultural offering this spring. Reggaeton favourites BONITX and Tribu Latin Tech return as key local draws, while a special one-off concert from global reggaeton heavyweight J. Alvarez, who commands more than 15 million followers around the world, adds further crossover appeal.

Since opening in 2024, AMØK has rapidly built a reputation for cutting-edge design, dual indoor–outdoor dancefloors and forward-thinking programming. The club has already welcomed a fine array of stars to the island including James Hype, Ben Klock, Jamie Jones, Loco Dice and Denis Sulta (back in AMØK alongside Priku on June 20th), which have all positioned Mallorca as a rising power in the electronic music mediterranean scene.

With new technical upgrades, heavyweight brand partnerships and a carefully balanced programme of underground credibility and mainstream appeal, AMØK’s Spring 2026 season signals another significant step forward. 

There has never been a better time or place to experience Mallorca’s clubbing revolution than this year at AMØK. For more information and tickets head to; amokmallorca.com/en/

The collaboration marks the next stop in Ministry of Sound’s year-long 35-city world tour spanning six continents and the first time in its history that the brand has embarked on a global run at this scale.

To celebrate this renewed partnership, we felt it was only right to host a show in Miami for the esteemed Music Week as part of 35th birthday tour.“

The event will take place across the indoor vinyl listening lounge and open-air Garden at Sable Miami. Inside, the design-led space is built for immersive listening and late-night sessions, boasting a high-fidelity sound system in an intimate space. Outdoors, The Garden offers an elevated open-air setting surrounded by greenery, complete with a state-of-the-art sound system. 

Leading the bill is US house heavyweight Dennis Ferrer, the Objektivity boss known for shaping modern soulful house, alongside Chicago figurehead Derrick Carter, a long-standing architect of the genre whose influence runs from underground basements to global festival stages. The lineup also features a special b2b from HoneyLuv and FLETCH, plus Olive F alongside Chuck Daniels b2b Doorly, Misturada, Tony Deep Disco, Jake Mercer, Foz and Travis Casa, ensuring a full-spectrum journey through house’s past, present and future.

Black Coffee Announces Open-Air Show at Roman Amphitheatre In Croatia

by

TICKETS / INSTAGRAM

Globally renowned Afro house pioneer Black Coffee is set to perform inside one of the world’s best-preserved Roman amphitheatres this summer when he headlines the first BSH Amphitheatre Pula edition which will take place at the Pula Arena in Croatia on 31st July 2026, with more names to follow.

Located on the Adriatic coast, the Pula Arena is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most striking historic landmarks. Originally constructed during the Roman Empire, the stone amphitheatre has hosted centuries of cultural gatherings and this event marks a rare convergence of contemporary electronic music with ancient heritage. Presented by event powerhouses BSH as part of the Adria Summer Festival, this show will transform the ancient, 2,000-year-old architectural monument and one of the most intact Roman amphitheatres still standing into an epic setting. 

Black Coffee is one of electronic music’s most influential figures. The Grammy Award-winning artist is celebrated for blending Afro-house, deep house and soulful electronic sounds in both his sets and productions, and has been hypnotising crowds at major festivals and iconic venues worldwide for more than a decade. 

The show follows BSH’s sold-out 2025 hosting of Black Coffee at Cave Romane, where the South African artist delivered one of the standout electronic performances of the summer. For 2026, the concept grows significantly by moving to the larger Arena for what is their most ambitious production to date.

Known for selecting visually and culturally significant locations, BSH has built an international reputation for staging electronic music events that go beyond the traditional club format, combining destination travel, historic settings and high-end production.

Tickets are available now via Entrio.

Yardworks Festival announces landmark 10th anniversary edition

by

Yardworks Festival will return to SWG3 on Saturday 2 May and Sunday 3 May 2026, marking its 10th anniversary with its most ambitious edition to date. Across two full days, live painting, large-scale murals, workshops, music and street culture will once again transform Glasgow’s riverside venue into a working canvas.

Now firmly established as Scotland’s leading festival of graffiti and urban art, Yardworks continues to spotlight internationally respected muralists alongside emerging talent and local pioneers. For its anniversary year, the festival expands its programme of participatory activity, industry conversations and city-wide engagement, reflecting its growth from grassroots gathering to a key date in the European street art calendar.

Among the first artists confirmed for 2026 is UK-based street artist .EPOD, whose work fuses graffiti, futurism and fine art, drawing on influences from hip-hop culture and classical painters to create cinematic, ethereal murals. Brighton veteran AROE, co-founder of the Heavy Artillery collective, brings decades of experience at the forefront of UK graffiti, known for translating the layered energy of city walls onto canvas through spray paint, hand-finishing and textural experimentation.

Also joining the anniversary line-up is French muralist Williann, whose bold female characters and intricate compositions draw on influences from 1950s pin-ups, early cartoons and decorative traditions, often carrying subtle messages around resilience and feminism. Glasgow-based painter David ‘PizzaBoy’ Breen presents atmospheric works shaped by his roots in street art, evoking late-night landscapes and in-between moments. Completing the first announcement is Scottish artist KMG, whose public artworks are grounded in Celtic folklore and oral storytelling traditions, using muralism and community engagement to explore cultural identity and marginalised histories.

This anniversary edition also significantly expands Yardworks’ educational offer. The Family Zone will be fully programmed in-house from the SWG3 Warehouse and included within the ticket price, providing accessible creative activity for children and families. A new paid workshop strand for adults will run across both days, covering specialist techniques including signwriting, Japanese calligraphy and paste-ups, alongside a dedicated screen-printing station where visitors can produce a limited-edition Yardworks tote bag.

An enhanced talks and industry programme will explore the role of graffiti and street art in culture, identity and regeneration. A book launch, film screening and roundtable discussions will bring together artists and sector voices to examine how urban art continues to shape cities and communities.

New for 2026, Street Art Cycling Tours will depart directly from SWG3, guiding audiences through the Yardworks-led Street Art District within the Glasgow Riverside Innovation District. The tours offer insight into the wider public artworks developed through the organisation’s year-round activity.

Gary Mackay (Gaz Mac), Yardworks Creative Director, said: “Yardworks has always been about more than just watching artists paint walls. It’s about creating space for exchange between artists, audiences and the city itself.

In 2026 we’re expanding that even further, with new workshops, industry conversations and the chance to explore the wider Street Art District that’s grown around us. Every year the ambition gets bigger, and we can’t wait to see what this edition becomes.”


Tickets for Yardworks Festival 2026 are on sale now here.

Shambala Announces Fresh Wave of 70+ Artists for its 2026 Line-up

by

Shambala Festival has today announced a huge new batch of over 70 artists for its 2026 edition, adding even more colour, creativity and left-field brilliance to what is already shaping up to be the festival’s most ambitious line-up to date.

Newly confirmed names include Reggie Watts, the whirlwind of surreal beatboxing, improvised comedy and musical mischief, plus Senegal’s iconic masters of hypnotic Afro-Latin groove, Orchestra Baobab, as well as a brass-fuelled explosion of jazz, funk and afrobeat from Nubiyan Twist.

Also joining the party are sun-drenched psychedelia queens Los Bitchos, bass-heavy Bristol firestarter Grove, and jazz drummer Sarathy Korwar alongside Jamz Supernova, Prima Queen, Avalanche Kaito, Sababa 5, Joshua Burnside, Lisa Knapp & Gerry Diver, Malin Lewis, Waldo’s Gift and many more – spanning global grooves, boundary-pushing electronics, folk, funk, soul and joyful voyages of musical discovery. These additions bolster the festival’s already stellar musical line-up, which includes the likes of Bob Vylan, Hollie Cook, Goat (UK festival exclusive), and Emma-Jean Thackray.

True to Shambala’s fiercely independent spirit, the festival continues to put its community at the heart of decision-making. This year, after a decade of being meat- and fish-free, the question of reintroducing meat – solely in the form of sustainable, locally sourced wild venison – has been put to an audience vote, inviting Shambalans to decide whether it should feature on the menu in 2026. 

Shambala removed meat and fish from its menus back in 2016 to spark conversation about the wider impacts of what we eat on climate, ecosystems and communities – a move that helped shift habits and cut food-related emissions to just 6% of the festival’s total, compared with an average of 21% at UK music festivals. Now, this radical rethink comes in response to record-high deer populations across the UK. With overgrazing known to be damaging woodlands, wetlands and biodiversity in the absence of natural predators, Shambala is once again reopening the debate – and asking what truly sustainable eating looks like in 2026.

Shambala MD and Co-Founder Chris Johnson explains: 
“In 2016 we shocked the festival world, and some of our audience, by taking meat and fish off the menu. We did this to reduce environmental impacts, and also to spark debate. It feels time to reinvigorate these important conversations, and also to highlight that we urgently need to eat wild deer to rescue and protect what little is left of our natural habitats.”

The debate is now open to the audience and the results will be shared in early March.  

As ever, Shambala’s stages will be bursting with far more than just music. For 2026, the festival is unveiling a brand new Spiegeltent, set to become a dazzling new home for live circus, cabaret and theatrical spectacles. Festival goers can expect kids’ cabaret and family rave-ups, aerial circus swooping overhead, and genre-smashing bands & DJs – curated by Bristol-based interactive theatre legends Compass Presents, and delivered with a distinctly Shambalan twist.

Other much-loved participatory moments are already locked in for 2026, including the Saturday carnival, which sees the whole festival transformed with creative costumes based around a different theme each year. In 2026 festival goers will put their own novel interpretations on the theme ‘Lyrical Genius’. In a similar vein, Flamboyant Friday has Shambalans all commit to dressing in one colour for the day. This year the Shambalans voted to transform the festival crowd into a vibrant sea of purple.

Following last year’s sell-out, Shambala 2026 is filling up fast. Tier 1 Adult, Tier 2 Adult and Tier 1 Young Adult tickets are sold out, with Tier 3 Adult Weekend and Green Traveller tickets now selling fast. To meet significant demand for young persons’ tickets, a very limited new Tier 2 Young Adult ticket has also been just released at £255, with flexible three and five month payment plans available for all ticket types. 

With its genre-defying line-up, commitment to off-the-wall silliness  and deep-rooted community, 2026 is shaping up to be another unforgettable chapter in Shambala’s story.
