Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik Festival Unveils First Wave of Artists

Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik Festival has dropped the first phase of its 2026 lineup, bringing 36 artists to Parc del Fòrum for the festival’s fourth year on Aug. 7-8. The announcement covers everything from industrial techno to feel-good house, with headliners including Eric Prydz, Paul Kalkbrenner and Jamie Jones.

The seafront festival has built a reputation as Barcelona’s summer celebration, drawing more than 70,000 attendees over its past two editions with 80 percent coming from the local area.

Eric Prydz returns to the festival circuit fresh off his Holosphere 2.0 residency at Ibiza’s [UNVRS], where the Swedish producer spent summer 2025 showcasing his groundbreaking audiovisual production. German melodic techno master Paul Kalkbrenner brings a hybrid set, while British duo Camelphat and Detroit legend Seth Troxler represent the house side.

Barcelona’s proximity to Ibiza shows up throughout the lineup. Jamie Jones brings his feel-good house music, while FUSE founder Enzo Siragusa delivers minimal house and deep tech. Dutch producer Mau P adds electro-funk and bassline energy, and Ukrainian artist Miss Monique brings her unique deep progressive sounds.

For the techno fans, the lineup has plenty to offer. Italian DJ Deborah de Luca takes things from minimal and melodic into harder territory, while French producers 999999999 and I Hate Models push the beats per minute to the breaking point. Belgian producer Massano and Italian artist Juliet Fox bring peak-time techno, and German producer Kevin de Vries delivers melodic techno.

On the more experimental side, Floating Points brings a live set with his modular setup, while Peach Discs label head Shanti Celeste and Sydney duo Chaos in the CBD deliver their elevated dance floor sounds.

French DJ and producer Jen Cardini brings her queer and trans-inclusive approach to techno, while Algerian-French duo Acid Arab performs a live set blending electronic music with Middle Eastern and North African sounds.

Back-to-back sets include Âme DJ pairing with Trikk and Amémé teaming up with LP Giobbi for house-focused performances. Rounding out the first wave are Brieela, Deer Jade, DJ Sweet6teen, Doudou MD, Ignez, JAMIIE, Klara Missyle, Marrøn and Wade.

Brunch Electronik started as a series of daytime open-air events around Barcelona before launching the festival in 2023. The brand has built its following through community feedback, with 2025 improvements including more free water stations, expanded food options and additional shaded areas.

The festival operates across five stages at Parc del Fòrum, each focused on different genres from techno to progressive house. Beyond the music, the festival maintains a strong commitment to sustainability through its Compromís initiative, promoting responsible partying with biodegradable materials and support for local environmental projects.

More artists will be announced in the coming months. Tickets are available now at brunchelectronikfestival.com.
