The 5th Element Festival completes its inaugural lineup with a monumental phase two announcement, adding over 40 artists to its transformative seven-day celebration in Puerto Rico. Set to unfold from January 7-13, 2026, across multiple venues in San Juan, Isla Verde, and Río Grande, the festival now reveals the full scope of its vision, merging the most revered voices in underground electronic music with a dedicated wellness sanctuary designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit.

Leading the phase two revelations are some of electronic music's most influential architects. Carl Craig brings decades of Detroit techno innovation to Puerto Rico's shores, while Spanish house royalty Chus & Ceballos will kick off their highly anticipated reunion tour after a five-year hiatus, presenting a refreshed take on their signature Iberican sound. Underground NYC-based legend Danny Tenaglia joins the billing alongside Paco Osuna, whose relentless energy and technical precision have made him a global force, and Detroit mainstay Stacey Pullen, whose deep, soulful selections have defined dancefloors for over three decades. The lineup expands further with an impressive roster of international selectors, including Archie Hamilton, Cristi Cons, Jason Rault, Manzone & Strong, Max Stern, Rob The Bank, and Vito UK. Rising talents Avision, Bryz, Cuky, Lîmød, Luna Mar, Mili, Nu, and Vizan round out the diverse programming, ensuring a journey through house, techno, and minimal's most compelling sounds.

Beyond the dancefloor, The 5th Element introduces the Sacred Space, a wellness sanctuary curated by the Above & Below Collective that serves as the festival's grounding heart. The dedicated area will host ceremonial gatherings, guided workshops, and integration sessions led by respected facilitators from diverse traditions. Guests will have access to practices designed to foster presence, embodiment, and collective healing, with optional participation available through bundled packages, add-on experiences, and donation-based offerings. The Sacred Space reinforces the festival's core philosophy that celebration and contemplation exist in harmony, offering attendees a place to reconnect with themselves, others, and the land between musical performances.

The complete programming will span beach stages and jungle venues across Puerto Rico's lush landscape, with guided nature excursions, elevated culinary experiences, and cultural programming celebrating the island's rich heritage woven throughout the week. With over 90 artists now confirmed and the Sacred Space programming taking shape, The 5th Element Festival positions itself as a pilgrimage for those seeking deeper connection through music, art, and transformation. 7-day and 3-day passes are available for purchase now, in addition to a limited number of early bird single-day tickets.

EUTOPIA WAREHOUSE: EAST LONDON’S NEW 4000-CAPACITY MUSIC, ARTS & CULTURAL DESTINATION

Eutopia fully awakens this Halloween - transforming its interconnected warehouses and canal-side courtyard into a living, breathing cultural playground.

East London’s famous nocturnal landscape is set for transformation with the arrival of Eutopia - a bold new 4,000-capacity indoor–outdoor music, arts and cultural space set across three interlinked warehouses and a sprawling open-air courtyard on the River Roding in Barking.

Following a £1.5 million reimagining of a former industrial site, Eutopia blends raw architectural heritage with contemporary design and world-class d&b Audiotechnik sound systems. A series of soft launch test events have already taken place at the site which is now fully operational. The result is a multi-dimensional venue built for exploration - where music, art and community collide under one roof and out into the open air.

Designed as a flexible, future-facing hub for the next generation of London’s cultural landscape, Eutopia will host everything from large-scale live shows, club events and festivals to exhibitions and local community events - each experience shaped by high-spec production, immersive design, and a community-first ethos.

Eutopia has already enlisted some of the most respected names in UK and international music culture. Promoters confirmed for the first wave of programming include; 51st State Festival, AEG, Appetite, Back to 95 (25th Anniversary), Breakin Science, Centerforce, Dance On Arrival, HOWL, Moon Dance, Recess, Sankeys, Space Ibiza, World Dance and Zulu Nation, spanning everything from minimal and house to bass, Afro, amapiano and beyond.

Eutopia is multi-dimensional venue consisting of four large-scale arenas; 

• The Yard (1700 capacity) sits by the river - an open-air playground of sound, light and energy. With full staging, a bespoke pergola installation, raised dance platforms and elevated viewing areas, it’s designed for both intimacy and impact. Lined with seasonal foliage, art installations and street food traders, The Yard brings festival-scale atmosphere to a permanent East London setting. From sunlit afternoons to high-energy nights, The Yard is a place to explore, eat, dance and get lost. Inside, three unique warehouses each offer a distinct experience and capacity.

• WHS 1 (800 capacity) - An immersive, tunnel-like room inspired by the golden age of New York club culture and London’s underground heritage. Precision-tuned d&b Audiotechnik sound, raised dance platforms and bespoke lighting make it the heartbeat of Eutopia.

• WHS 2 (1,200 capacity) - A vast, reconfigurable space built for scale and versatility. With both 360° and end-stage formats, it’s designed for club nights, live concerts, brand launches and large-scale cultural events.

• WHS 3 (800 capacity) - The most intimate and design-led of the trio, this warehouse will host curated performances, exhibitions and social gatherings. The next phase of development will see WHS 3 evolve into a cocktail bar and listening space, hosting listening sessions, label launches and community-focused culture and lifestyle events.

Eutopia is led by a powerhouse team with more than a century of combined experience across music, events and culture:

• Michael Hughes - A pioneering figure in UK club culture and radio, founder of landmark events Garage City, Back to 95 and Groove Odyssey, and a long-standing advocate for authentic house music.

• Nikki Gordon - Co-founder of We Are FSTVL and former Head of Ministry of Sound, bringing almost three decades of creative and operational leadership.

• Will Paterson - Veteran promoter behind over 20 festivals and 11 London venues, known for his work in artist development, large-scale events and mentoring future talent.

• Tom Ranger - Acclaimed curator and programmer behind Dreamland Margate, Oval Space, Annabel’s, Percolate Live and Live Nation’s Soundcrash division, now consulting and programming events globally through Something Goes Right.

Combining world-class production with a community-first vision, Eutopia is set to redefine large-scale venues in London - a creative sanctuary built from the bones of East London’s industrial past, looking firmly to the future. Eutopia opens fully from Halloween 2025.
