YARD FESTIVAL PORTUGAL FINALISES 2026 LINEUP WITH BONOBO, JAMIE JONES, CHRIS STUSSY, SETH TROXLER, MONOLINK, RY X LIVE AND MORE

The festival returns to Lisbon’s White Sand Mountains and more epic locations for an extended four days this May

YARD Festival will return to Azeitão, Portugal, from 21-24 May 2026, expanding to four days for the first time and unveiling its full lineup alongside collaborative art installations with Burning Man camps Favela and Tierra Bomba.

 

Set within the White Sand Mountains of the Setúbal region, the event unfolds across a series of distinct sites, including a historic castle and coastal park, combining electronic music programming with large-scale art installations and sites of natural beauty. 

 

The lineup balances globally recognised electronic artists with underground and live acts. Headliners include Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Chris Stussy, alongside live and crossover performances from Bonobo, RY X live and Monolink. They are joined by a wider programme spanning house, minimal and melodic artists, including Ahmed Spins, Gui Boratto and emerging names across the international circuit. 

 

This year, YARD brings two art camps from Burning Man to striking White Sands Mountains, deepening its connection between music and Art. Favela, a Brazilian camp, brings the spirit of the favela alive with the sounds and atmosphere of Brazil and Tierra Bomba, a camp which celebrates the spirit of Latin culture. 

 

Located within a historic winemaking region and less than an hour from Lisbon, Azeitão offers a more rural alternative to Portugal’s coastal festival hotspots, with vineyards, local food culture and access to the surrounding Arrábida Natural Park.

 

Programming begins on Thursday with a Castle opening event before moving to the main festival sites from Friday to Sunday, with daily sessions running from afternoon into late evening.

 

Open-air staging, sunset performances and a stunning setting for both large-scale moments and more relaxed exploration, YARD Festival is one of Europe's most unforgettable summer getaways. 

 

Tickets are available now from €55 via Shogun.live

TAO ANDRA AND ADAM CLAY COVER 2000’S CLUB CLASSIC ‘BORN AGAIN (BABYLONIA)’

Out Now Via We Next Records

Romanian techno riser Tao Andra steps forward with a powerful new release, ‘Born Again (Babylonia)’, a striking rework of the cult classic originally released by Ricky L. Landing on the iconic imprint - the German-bred We Next Records in joint venture with Universal Music Germany - the release bridges eras with a contemporary edge, recasting the track’s legacy for modern dancefloors.

 

Shaping the track into a hypnotic, peak-time techno tool, Tao Andra leans into rolling percussion, weighty low-end and textured synth work, pulling the record into more shadowed territory while preserving its unmistakable melodic core. The result is a version designed for late-night floors, where tension and emotion move in lockstep.

 

A defining feature of the release is the return of Adam Clay, whose unmistakable vocal - central to the original record - has been newly re-recorded for this version. The performance brings renewed intensity and focus, threading nostalgia through Tao Andra’s contemporary, groove-driven production. It’s a rare moment where past and present collide seamlessly, transforming a familiar hook into something entirely alive for today’s audiences.

 

Released in 2001, the original cut was a landmark in early-2000s European club culture. The track quickly gained widespread recognition among DJs and dancers, becoming a touchstone for a generation and cementing its status as an essential anthem of its time. Its influence continues to be felt across progressive and trance circles, making it a pivotal reference point for artists revisiting the era today.

 

Tao Andra’s heady interpretation transforms a well-loved track into something distinctly her own, layering fresh energy and perspective over its familiar essence. The outcome is a sophisticated cover that resonates across generations of electronic music, paying homage to a truly golden era of music.

 

The Lisbon-based artist has recently surfaced as one of dance music’s most compelling new voices, a producer and performer who moves fluidly between hypnotic groove and tense, late-night energy. Her recent output - on labels like Drumcode, Terminal M, VOLTA, Arcane and Iboga - reveals a mercurial imagination, balancing dark, rolling percussion with moments of melodic clarity. Heavyweight DJs such as Charlotte de Witte, Adam Beyer, Eli Brown and Indira Paganotto have all championed her tracks, including standout moments like ‘Brain Train,’ which closed the Main Stage at Tomorrowland.

 

Traveling the globe from Brazil to Japan and India to Australia, Andra has honed a sound that’s both immersive and kinetic, with sets built as much on emotional resonance as on peak-time intensity. With every release and performance, she stakes a claim as an artist capable of threading timeless techno sensibilities through a modern, restless lens - a figure equally at home in underground clubs and international arenas.
