Get ready for colour, chaos and confetti as elrow, the world’s most iconic and theatrical electronic music brand, is making its Cologne debut at none other than Bootshaus, which is ranked among the Top 10 clubs in the world by DJ Mag.

On Friday, 12 December 2025, Bootshaus will be transformed into an immersive, larger-than-life world of sound and spectacle as elrow takes over for a night that promises to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.

Bringing its ‘Themed Electronic Wonderland’ concept to Cologne for the very first time, elrow will unleash its signature mix of outrageous production, theatrical performers, immersive décor and relentless energy, backed by a heavyweight lineup of global house and techno talent. 

Leading the lineup, Andrea Oliva brings his trademark blend of rolling house grooves and Ibiza-honed energy. Rising German talent Discip delivers his raw, percussive techno sound that’s been igniting dance floors across Europe, while UK favourite Latmun brings his infectious tech-house rhythm and playful dance floor edge. Local standout Nic Lorenz adds a dose of precision and high-octane selections, while Tini Gessler, a key name in the elrow family, brings her vibrant, melodic take on house and techno to embody the brand’s colourful spirit.

They’re joined by Enchanted, Foret, Antipolar, Kaufmann, Kevin Arnold, O'Doyle, Nicole Da Silva, Tolstoi, and Unxpected, rounding out a lineup that perfectly captures the high-energy, kaleidoscopic essence of elrow.

From the main room to the open-air spaces, every corner of Bootshaus will be reimagined in full elrow style - think wild costumes, characters roaming the dance floor and a storm of colour and confetti raining down to the beat of pulsating house and techno.

Says the Bootshaus team “We’re beyond excited to host elrow’s first-ever show in Cologne. This collaboration brings together two strong international brands that both stand for creativity, energy, and a deep passion for electronic music.”

Founded in Barcelona, elrow has grown into a global nightlife phenomenon, staging sold-out events across more than 80 cities and major festivals including Tomorrowland, Amnesia Ibiza and Fabrik Madrid. Its arrival at Bootshaus marks a milestone moment for Cologne’s underground scene and is a rare fusion of two powerhouse brands united by their commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering unforgettable experiences.

The walls are set to shake and the earth will rumble once more as Terminal V Festival returns to Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Centre & Showground on 18th and 19th April 2026. Marking another chapter for one of Europe’s most formidable electronic events, next year's event will unfold across two epic days, with 40,000 ravers and five fully immersive stages headlined by over 100 cutting-edge artists for a weekend of unrelenting energy and precision production.

Simon McGrath, Co-founder of Terminal V says “This will without doubt be our biggest line up yet. Every artist reflects the energy and evolution of Terminal V, and this April will see our most diverse edition yet. 2026 is shaping up to be our most powerful edition so far.”

The 2026 lineup is a razor-sharp snapshot of contemporary electronic music and collision of heavyweights, legends, disruptors and future icons of techno. Set to perform are the likes of Detroit godfather Robert Hood whose loopy sound helped characterise early minimal and remains in a class of its own. 

The raucous Sara Landry presents the UK debut of her ETERNALISM show and her only Scottish appearance all year. It is a hard techno odyssey with high-octane beats and avant-garde production inspired by the otherworldly art of Hans Ruedi Giger's Alien creation. The aim is to create a spiritual gathering that transcends the typical club experience. Klangkuenstler is one of the defining forces in the new wave of industrial techno and his sets are pure adrenaline hits built for the warehouse, while the UK’s breakout house and techno star Ben Hemsley blends euphoric melodies, emotional drops and peak-time power for the new generation, and Australian REVIVE RECORDS founder Restricted will also serve up his unrelenting mix of psy, rawstyle, industrial, hardcore and more after amassing half a billion streams and becoming a fixture in Beatport’s Hardcore/Neo Rave charts. 

They’re joined by underground stars across house, techno and bass such as Mall Grab, Anetha x DJ Gigola, Clara Cuvé, East End Dubs, Somewhen x Otta, Paige Tomlinson and many more with each bringing their distinct edge to the festival’s next evolution.

Built from the ground up for sheer sonic intensity, Terminal V has a deserving reputation for monumental scale and meticulous attention to detail. Every stage is designed as a standalone world with bespoke architecture, high-impact visuals and chest-rattling sound for a sensory overload built for those who live and breathe dance music.

Again ranked in DJ Mag’s Best Festivals in the world this year, Terminal V’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. What began as an underground gathering has evolved into a benchmark for large-scale electronic rapture, which is why it attracts a devoted international crowd who return year after year.

From daylight euphoria to warehouse darkness, Terminal V captures the full spectrum of modern electronic music in one communal surge of sound and light.

Buena Vista Lake in Southern California 
Memorial Day Weekend – May 20-24, 2026

Ticket On Sale Begins 11/14 at 11AM PT

immersive experience curators Do LaB have announced the music lineup for North America’s original boutique music festival, Lightning in a Bottle, returning to Buena Vista Lake in Southern California during Memorial Day Weekend on May 20-24, 2026.

Lightning in a Bottle stands as a beacon for the bold - an independent festival for 23 years running - that thrives on the beautiful chaos of participation and childlike wonder. Every structure, sound, and surprise is born from collective hands and unfiltered play, a reminder that magic doesn’t come from algorithms or spectacle, but from people building something real together. It’s a space where creativity runs wild, where fun and freedom are sacred values, and where each year brings new surprises that remind us what it means to feel truly alive together.

At LIB’s core is the music, a carefully curated journey through sound in all its forms. From the larger than life energy of the Lightning, Woogie, and Thunder stages to the community-fueled magic of The Stacks, The Junkyard, and The Grand Artique. Year after year, the lineup curation defies genre, blending global icons and underground champions with spontaneous moments that can only happen here - from marquee surprise additions, to sunrise B2B sets alongside the sparkling Buena Vista Lake, and late-night discovery of artists that will go on to become tomorrow’s headliners - it’s a limitless world that each fan can make their own.

In 2026, LIB will welcome some of the world’s most in demand acts to its stages, spearheaded by the dreamlike anthems of visionary Australia act Empire Of The Sun, breakout hitmaker Mau P, high priestess of hard techno Sara Landry, and the limitless Deadbeats label heads Zeds Dead. Top highlights also include UK drum & bass torchbearers Chase & Status, star Brazilian sensation Mochakk, ethereal multi-instrumentalist Barry Can’t Swim, and multi-platinum certified R&B disruptor Tinashe.

House music styles are well represented by the likes of wide-ranging selector Maceo Plex, clubland favorite Hot Since 82, the infectious energy of Grammy-nominated producer and DJ Jayda G, dance music pioneer Lee Burridge, classic house meets new school tech producer J. Worra, melodic French producer and live performer Rodriguez Jr., the North American debut of German-Nigerian artist JAMIIE and her African-inspired rhythms, scene risers AYYBO and Linska, and the fun-loving crew of Desert Hearts (Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs).

Lovers of bass music will be treated to the head-splitting sounds of Of The Trees and rising star ALLEYCVT, electro soul and hip-hop influenced producer Daily Bread, and the atmospheric melodies of INZO - while those in the mix for D&B will look towards one of the genre’s most prominent acts, Dimension, alongside the forward-thinking Ivy Lab and UK trailblazer Flava D. Red hot UKG favorites such as Conducta, Oppidan, jigitz, MPH, Main Phase will also promise electrifying high energy sets.

Music lovers searching for the more eclectic shades of dance music will look no further than new gen junglist Nia Archives, the ‘90’s rave, breakbeat, and trance inspired sounds of Overmono, meteoric high bpm favorites DJ HEARTSTRING, the boundary breaking and genre-crossing Avalon Emerson, deep groove-driven Copenhagen trio Tripolism, and the raw club energy of 1-800 GIRLS.

Acts spanning all kinds of sounds and backgrounds will always be found at LIB, including the iconic drag superstar DJ Trixie Mattel - following up on her buzzed Do LaB Coachella surprise set in 2025 - plus Nigeria’s heavyweight Afrobeats standout Sarz, the dazzling carnival-pop duo Haute & Freddy, disco electronic pop outfit Midnight Generation, introspective rapper and poet KAMAUU, and powerful vocalism of Noga Erez. Building on a 2025 programming highlight, LIB will also bring back its takeover nights at the Crossroads stage, featuring a range of SoCal’s diverse party crews such as A Club Called Rhonda, Respect DnB, Baile World, and FMLY BZNS.

Beyond the music stages lies a world built for exploration, connection, and transformation. Spaces like The Compass invite fans to expand their minds through hundreds of workshops and talks spanning topics from indigenous wisdom to climate action, love, and consciousness. Between sets, wander through art installations, hidden houses, forgotten trailers, and fan-favorite outposts like The Mixtape that come alive as the night goes on. The next day, recenter with yoga and movement sessions that restore balance, explore the bustling Marketplace, and become fully immersed in a community bound by curiosity.

LIB offers a range of ticketing and accommodation options designed to fit every kind of adventure. Attendees can choose between three-day or five-day passes, with the shorter option making the experience more accessible for all. Festivalgoers can also opt for Easy Peasy Pre-Set Camping or RV packages that take the hassle out of setup, ensuring a smooth and stress free arrival. For an elevated experience, VIP passes provide access to backstage lounges at Lightning, Thunder, and Woogie, exclusive bars, special pop-up activations, and other premium comforts that bring a touch of luxury to the camping festival experience.

Tickets to Lightning in a Bottle 2026 will go on sale Friday, 11/14 at 11AM PT via the festival’s official website.
