Joezi, Skinny, Deelan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and more also play the open-air setting amongst palm trees and with an elevated view of downtown Marbella
All new festival 12:XII will make its debut in Marbella on Friday 21st August 2026 with a concept centred around the theme Beyond Time. The first edition of this exclusive one day luxury event will be headlined by era-defining French superstar DJ Snake alongside Joezi, Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and more.
Conceived for those who like a premium touch, 12:XII brings together music, high spec production and Marbella's famous sun. Positioned between the Mediterranean coastline and the Sierra Blanca mountains, Marbella has long been an escape for Europe's luxury seekers, with legendary beach clubs, fine dining and world-class hotels.
The quality of the light, the warmth of the air and the deep blue of the water combine to create something that feels unlike anywhere else. The old town, with its whitewashed walls, bougainvillea-draped squares and maze of narrow streets is a glamorous strip while the marina is where superyachts, designer boutiques, rooftop bars and some of the finest restaurants in southern Spain form a world of pleasure.
The venue is an open air space that will be converted with giant LED screens, ice cannon and dynamic structures as well as a world class sound system and an elevated back stage and VIP experience in amongst the palm trees and under a baking sun and starry night sky.
Leading the lineup is DJ Snake, one of the most successful electronic artists of his generation. The French producer has amassed billions of streams through global hits including Turn Down For What, Lean On, Taki Taki and Let Me Love You, while headlining festivals and arenas across the world. Joining him is Joezi, whose emotive blend of Afro house and melodic electronic music has made him one of the genre's standout names. The lineup is completed by Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and more artists to come.
The festival takes its name from the connection first formed in December 2012, bringing together experience across electronic music, luxury hospitality and artistic direction to create a new annual event in Marbella.
Says the founder: "Great brands are built around an idea, not an event. 12:XII was born from the belief that time is the ultimate luxury, and that one extraordinary night can live far beyond the moment itself. DJ Snake was the natural choice to open that story because true icons don’t just perform - they define generations."
With its inaugural edition, 12:XII will become an essential new addition to Marbella's summer schedule as it brings together global electronic music talent with one of the hottest lifestyle destinations in the Med.
Tickets for 12:XII are on sale now, with General Admission tickets starting from €49.The festival takes place on Friday 21st August 2026 at Recinto Ferial de San Pedro Alcántara, Avenida del Mediterráneo, 8, 29670 Marbella, Spain.
