Together, NEO and NEOLOGY form a unified universe exploring the sacred, the futuristic, and the emotional.With innovations like Old Neural Mixtape Vol.1 — an AI-powered project for Apple’s M1 chip that reimagined DJ mixing and evolved into a groundbreaking 3D live show — Mathame continue to blur the boundaries between music, technology, and immersive art. From their BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix of the Year to performances at Tomorrowland, Coachella, and Hï Ibiza, they stand as visionary storytellers.

Ahead of its return to the Royal Highland Centre & Showground, Edinburgh, on 18–19 April 2026, Terminal V has revealed the stage lineups and day splits for its 2026 edition, alongside a new host of artists that have been added to the line up.

The latest additions include a mix of new school disrupters and legends with Biianco, Natte Vistick, Patrick Topping and Prunk all bringing different flavours of house, trance and techno, while The Lab stage is a dedicated platform for emerging Scottish artists and future-facing sounds with the lineup yet to be announced.

Now firmly established as one of Europe’s leading techno festivals, Terminal V 2026 will welcome over 100 artists across six stages, with 40,000 attendees expected across the weekend. 

Each stage is designed with a clear purpose, allowing different parts of the electronic spectrum to exist without compromise, from peak-time headline techno to foundational house, from high-pressure intensity to emerging local voices. Together, the stages form a complete ecosystem where every sound has room to exist properly, and the whole site is steeped in the famously high spec production, light and sound that makes this one of Europe's leading events.

AREA V is where scale, focus and headline energy come together. The flagship stage returns as the focal point for peak-time techno and on Saturday, Sara Landry brings her UK Festival exclusive of Eternalism, with Clara Cuvé, Novah, Fumi, Adrián Mills and Alex Farell. Sunday sees a powerful close led by Klangkuenstler, alongside Anetha X Patrick Mason, DJ Gigola X ØTTA and Ueberrest and a world exclusive b2b of SPFDJ X SIM0NE.

Expect relentless, high-intensity techno built for pace and endurance at HANGAR. Across both days, this stage delivers uncompromising pressure, featuring artists including 999999999, I Hate Models, Fantasm, Vieze Asbak, Winson and more representing the hardest edge of the Terminal V spectrum.

GREENHOUSE is a stage rooted in history, groove and musicality which on Saturday sees raw, stripped-back techno inspired by the genre’s early forms, with Robert Hood, Chlär (Live), Alarico, Clouds X Tommy Holohan. On Sunday, a shift toward deeply rooted tech house music, led by Patrick Topping, East End Dubs, Traumer, Prunk and La La.

THE TERMINAL is for high-energy sets built for emotional release rather than genre boundaries. Think fast transitions, big moments and no holding back with artists including Mall Grab, Ben Hemsley, Will Atkinson, Morgan Seatree, DJ Gigola, Pegassi and Spray across the weekend.

2026 brings a brand new stage to Terminal V Festival  - The Block - with a secret guest lineup  - stay tuned.

With a significant site investment and a clearly defined vision across every stage, Terminal V 2026 continues to refine its identity not by expanding aimlessly, but by giving each sound its own space to exist with real narrative and intent.

MINISTRY OF SOUND UNDERGOES HUGE RENOVATION AHEAD OF 35TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR

A new KV2 sound system, multi-dimensional light installation, and a fully redesigned dancefloor and DJ booth will be completed in January

Ministry of Sound is set to undergo the most significant transformation since it opened in 1991. A complete reimagining of sound, space and light in its main room, The Box, will be undertaken throughout January 2026, with programming also stepping up to match the new levels of audio-visual immersion. This news comes as the Ministry enters its 35th year, which is a key milestone in the history of London’s nightlife and the beginning of a new era for the club.

The club will retire its legendary Martin Audio system, long regarded as a global benchmark, making way for a brand-new, custom four-point KV2 sound system consisting of KV2’s SL412 tops with a combination of VHD2.21 and VHD2.16 subs. The system will be installed by Patchwork London and promises a more powerful, immersive and detailed listening experience, setting a new standard for club sound in 2026 and beyond. 

“KV2 Audio continues to set the benchmark for high-performance club sound. This installation represents a truly world-class system — one that honours the legacy of Ministry of Sound while pushing the experience firmly into the future” Louis Jemmott - Director, Patchwork London

Elsewhere, the DJ booth will be lowered into the crowd and rebuilt as a modular structure, allowing for multiple stage formats, including 360-degree setups. It will be backed by an all new elevated backstage area surrounding the new DJ booth, and capacity will also increase by approximately 200 people, entirely reshaping both the energy and flow of the room.

Visually, the main room undergoes a dramatic evolution with a 9㎡ state-of-the-art overhead light installation and an all new video and lighting design by renowned design studio Lucid Creates, who’ve created stages and large-scale installations for the likes of Pacha Ibiza, Glastonbury and Boomtown. The vast, multi-layered metal structure suspended above the dancefloor combines reflective frameworks, integrated video screens and Lucid’s bespoke LED bar technology that will create a constantly evolving visual experience.

“To ensure the design feels cutting-edge whilst still retaining its edge, we’ve leant heavily into industrial textures and forms to inform the overall look of the space - steering away from an overly clean, overly manicured aesthetic. The result is something that will still feel distinctively ‘The Box’ but in a really interesting and imaginative way.”

Chris Carr, Founder of Lucid Creates.

The Box sets the tone for a bold new chapter with two huge reopening parties at the end of Jan with &friends’ vocal-led Afro-house sitting alongside Moeaike’s deep, percussive selections and Joezi’s soulful take on the genre on Fri 30 Jan.

Sat 31 Jan sees a high-profile back-to-back from Pete Tong and Kölsch, bringing together one of dance music’s most influential broadcasters and the Danish producer known for his emotive, big-room techno, joined by Lauren Lo Sung and Jansons, who add a refined, modern approach to house music.

“The redesign will fully transform the room into a future-facing club space while preserving its industrial spirit. The Box has always set benchmarks, particularly around sound, and this renovation allows us to reset that standard for the next generation to continue evolving the space without losing its identity.” Matt Long - Club Director, Ministry of Sound

The refurb shows Ministry of Sound’s ongoing commitment to innovation on all fronts, from production to programming and in-club experience. It's comes as the venue embarks on the beginning of a year-long celebration to mark 35 years with a series of special shows featuring heavyweight artists such as Todd Terje, Ron Trent, Joe Claussell, Lauren Lo Sung, Eats Everything, Tony Humphries, Fiorella, Pete Tong, Kölsch, Kele Le Roc and Konstantin Sibold,reflecting the club’s enduring influence on the city’s musical identity and sonic legacy, which continues to be the blueprint for club culture across the globe.

The next chapter of Ministry of Sound begins January 2026. Tickets for the Re-opening weekend and full programme details are available at: ministryofsound.com
