    WAKAAN Music Festival Reveals Massive 2026 Lineup

    Ozark, AR — August 19, 2026 WAKAAN Music Festival, one of bass music’s most celebrated gatherings, returns to Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas, for its sixth year, today revealing its highly anticipated 2026 lineup.

    Leading this year’s bill are two sets from WAKAAN founder Liquid Stranger, alongside standout performances from Of The Trees, Getter, Doctor P, Hairitage, Machinedrum, Distinct Motive, Nostalgix, EAZYBAKED, Jantsen, TVBOO, YOOKiE and more.

    The 2026 edition will also welcome several notable WAKAAN debuts, including acclaimed producer Detox Unit, genre-bending producer Whethan, and bass music veteran Flux Pavilion, expanding the festival’s already wide-ranging approach to forward-thinking electronic music.

    Beyond those names, the lineup brings together a deep mix of established artists, rising talent, and underground innovators, including Canabliss, Casey Club, HerShe, Meduso, The Widdler, Truth, Smoakland, Super Future, Sully, Shlump, Jon Casey, Saturna, WonkyWilla, XOTIX and many more.

    Hosted by Swedish dubstep artist and WAKAAN founder Liquid Stranger, the festival has built a world of its own within electronic music, championing an experience rooted in creativity, connection, and intention. Limited to just 10,000 attendees, WAKAAN keeps the experience intimate and immersive, putting music, sound, and community at the forefront while offering an alternative to the massive festival landscape.

    Taking place September 30–October 3, WAKAAN brings its unmistakable blend of bass music, art, and community back to the Ozark Mountains. As one of North America’s most celebrated gatherings for forward-thinking electronic music, the festival continues to create a space where fans, artists, and the culture surrounding the music come together for an immersive weekend.

    Beyond the music, WAKAAN’s 400-acre home at Mulberry Mountain is an essential part of the experience. From campgrounds and cabins to winding trails throughout the property, the festival invites attendees to wander, discover, and connect far beyond the stages. Immersive art installations, interactive environments, and community-led activations transform the grounds into a playground for creativity and self-expression, with returning fan favorites and new experiences continuing to expand WAKAAN’s ever-evolving world.

    That spirit of discovery carries into WAKAAN’s 2026 return, continuing the festival’s underdog mentality and commitment to championing artists, creators, and collaborators who refuse to follow the expected path. From its carefully curated lineup to independent vendors, interactive activations, and creative experiences, WAKAAN remains a home for the innovators pushing bass music and its surrounding culture forward.

    Tickets are on sale now, with limited availability following high demand. Additional programming and on-site experiences will be announced in the coming weeks.
