Parc del Fòrum, Barcelona | August 7 & 8, 2026

Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik Festival delivers an unexpected early Christmas present with the release of 36 artists confirmed for the late-summer festival - now in its fourth year - taking place August 7 & 8, 2026. This starting lineup speaks to the musical diversity of the much loved event, bringing together festival favourites, stadium filling superstars, and breakout talent in an announcement that spans industrial techno, feel-good house, electronic pop and everything in between. To secure tickets head to https://brunchelectronikfestival.com/en/buy-tickets/.

For two days at Barcelona’s seafront Fòrum complex, Brunch Electronik Festival will thrill to the sounds of arena fillers and contemporary dance music icons.  Eric Prydz, will return to the festival circuit following his Holosphere 2.0 residency at Ibiza’s [UNVRS], whilst Paul Kalkbrenner makes ‘sea and sand’ literal, with a hybrid set of his genre defining melodic techno. At the harder end of the spectrum, Neapolitan DJ Deborah de Luca promises to take the crowd on a journey through techno, from minimal and melodic through to the harder edged beats she’s known for; whilst I Hate Models and 999999999, crank the BPMs to breaking point. Techno connoisseurs will also be well served elsewhere on the lineup, with genre masterchef’s Jen Cardini cooking up beats with a queer and trans inclusionary agenda, and Rødhåd keeping things frosty with a layer of his trademark Scandinavian iced out techno.
 
Barcelona’s proximity to Ibiza is also reflected in the lineup, with some of the magic isles’ best loved selectors making the short hop across the Mediterranean. Lovers of feel-good summery house music need no introduction to Jamie Jones, while FUSE boss Enzo Siragusa brings his trademark minimal house and deep tech. More Ibiza vibes come courtesy of the electro-funk and bassline mastery of the unstoppable Mau P, while Ukrainian artist Miss Monique takes things in a progressive deep direction, perfect for sunsets.

This initial lineup announcement is rounded out by a wave of artists who bring a touch of class to the dance floor, headed up by Floating Points’ stunning live set, which uses his modular setup as a launching pad for dance floor destruction. Elsewhere, Peach Discs label boss Shanti Celeste, Sydney stalwarts Chaos in the CBD and Berghain’s Panorama Bar resident Paramida, all promise to educate as well as titillate on the floor.

Last but by no means least, get ready for a set of ‘sad-bangers’ from Irish electro pop iconoclast Biig Piig, whose ear for a melody is amply matched by on-point production, suitable for dance floors of all shapes and sizes.

Brunch Electronik Festival is the flagship event of Brunch Electronik, a much loved Barcelona events brand celebrated for its series of day-time ‘open air’ events in iconic locations around the city, that have built a reputation as Barcelona’s ‘Worst Kept Secret’ thanks to their heterogeneous crowds, considered production, focus on sustainability, and agenda-setting lineups.

Now in its fourth year, the festival continues to go from strength to strength, thanks to a continuous process of listening to its community - known as Brunchers - through surveys, DMs, and comments on social media. In 2025, this feedback led to the creation of more chilled fountains for free water, increased variety and quality of food options, more shaded areas, and a vastly improved user experience overall. In 2026 this process will continue, with details to follow in the new year.

With more than 70,000 attendees across its last two editions - and with 80% of its audience coming from Barcelona - Brunch Electronik Festival will once again turn the city into the epicentre of electronic music this summer.

Brunch Electronik festival exists as a celebration of the spirit of Brunch: a celebration for the entire city, soundtracked by the hottest DJs and artists in clubland, where anything can happen, but only happens at Brunch Electronik Festival.
