The Wakaan Music Festival has officially dropped its lineup for the 2026 event, turning heads with its impressive roster of both established and emerging bass music artists. Scheduled to take place from September 30 to October 3 at Mulberry Mountain, this four-day event aims to create a more personal festival atmosphere by limiting attendance to just 10,000.

Wakaan founder Liquid Stranger, also known as Martin Stäf, will grace the stage with two unique sets, emphasizing the festival's ethos of music, creativity, and community. He recently expressed the deeper meaning behind this gathering, stating it represents art, freedom, and healing, something he believes is increasingly necessary in today’s world.

Among the lineup's heavy hitters are dubstep legends like Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, and Getter, alongside rising stars such as Jon Casey, Nostalgix, FLY, Whethan, and Of The Trees. Longtime Wakaan favorite Shlump will also return to the stage, ensuring fans are treated to a diverse mix of sounds that span the bass spectrum.

With its stunning mountain backdrop and an immersive experience at its core, Wakaan Festival 2026 promises to be a highlight for bass enthusiasts and festival-goers alike.
