Elements Music & Arts Festival Drops 2026 Phase One Lineup

Elements Music & Arts Festival has dropped its phase one lineup for 2026, returning to Long Pond, Pennsylvania, from Aug. 7-9. The three-day camping festival enters its ninth edition with a lineup that spans bass, house, techno and experimental sounds across its forested grounds.

The phase one announcement features Porter Robinson performing a DJ set, Subtronics, Above & Beyond, Chris Lake, Excision, Sub Focus and Of The Trees leading the lineup. Chicago duo Louis The Child, Ganja White Night and CloZee will perform sunset sets to lead the transition from day to night on each of the three nights of the festival.

House music runs deep with Cloonee, Westend, ACRAZE, AYYBO, Walker & Royce, Biscits, Will Clarke and A-Trak. The techno side features I Hate Models, KETTAMA, MCR-T, X CLUB and Know Good bringing the darker sounds.

For the bass and dubstep fans, LSDream performs alongside his meditative Lightcode project, while Crankdat performs twice across the weekend including a back-to-back set during Thursday’s pre-party with a mystery guest. The bass lineup continues with SVDDEN DEATH, Effin, SIPPY, Zingara and GorillaT.

In addition to her sunset set, CloZee hosts a special Odyzey takeover featuring OPIUO, ProbCause and Skysia, while Daily Bread performs as both himself and his deeper alias Cloud Conductor.

Drum and bass continues to grow in the U.S. festival circuit, and Elements delivers with Level Up, Ivy Lab and Hedex.

“The Elements 2026 lineup is a curated collision of pioneers, risk-takers and artists who reshape dance music culture,” said Tim Monkiewicz, Elements founder. “From genre-defining icons to the next wave of boundary-pushers, this lineup reflects our commitment to booking artists who don’t just move crowds, they move the culture.”

Elements operates across four stages named Fire, Earth, Air and Water, each drawing inspiration from its natural element to create distinct sonic environments. For 2026, the Fire Stage is being completely redesigned as what organizers describe as “a living temple of sound” created in collaboration with international designers.

“It’s not just a stage, but a shared moment of release, where music, architecture and energy collide,” Monkiewicz said.

Beyond the music, Elements has built its reputation on immersive experiences including large-scale art installations, roaming performances, art cars and fan-curated Vibe Villages. The festival also features wellness programming with yoga, sound baths and movement-based experiences, all supported by the site’s on-location solar farm.

“We are so grateful to commence our fifth year at the Pocono Raceway, it’s been an incredible journey growing our festival site and enhancing the woods and grounds every year,” said Brett Herman, Elements festival founder. “As a longtime Burning Man participant I’m particularly happy to see the growth of Vibe Villages — last year they comprised about one-third of our total camping population.”

The Vibe Villages program allows groups of 15 or more to create themed camps across four sections named after the elements. Fire Village hosts experiential camps with sound systems and immersive art, while Earth Village features hands-on spaces. Water Village welcomes decorative themes and Air Village provides space for large community groups.

Phase one passes including GA, VIP and enhanced experience options are available now at elementsfest.us. Additional lineup announcements and programming details will be revealed in the coming months.
