Kappa FuturFestival Announces Phase One Lineup for 2026 Edition

Kappa FuturFestival has unveiled the first wave of its 2026 lineup. From July 3-5, the three-day event returns to Parco Dora in Turin, Italy, a reimagined industrial park that’s become one of the continent’s most visually striking festival venues.

The Phase One announcement features Belgian techno titans Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte, German legend Sven Väth, and Grammy-nominated Sebastian Ingrosso. British tech house innovator Michael Bibi brings his Solid Grooves to the dancefloor alongside Italian virtuoso Enrico Sangiuliano.

Kappa’s phase one lineup brings more than just mainstream sounds. Objekt and Jane Fitz bring experimental rigor alongside groove specialists Wade and Mochakk, while Avalon Emerson represents a generation of producers who refuse easy categorization.

Back-to-back sets form a cornerstone of Kappa’s identity. Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann unite for a meeting of Berghain aesthetics and Berlin’s darkest techno. Paco Osuna teams with Nicole Moudaber for peak-hour intensity, while Skream links up with Fleur Shore to bring British electronic inspiration to the festival.

This genre-fluid approach extends to the Italian contingent. Rhadoo, Anxhela, Nikolina, and Serafina each bring distinct perspectives shaped by their regional scenes. Berlin’s Clara Cuvé, Basswell, Dyen and Shlømo, and STOOR Live (Colin Benders, Lady Starlight, Speedy J) illustrate how Kappa assembles artists less by genre borders and more by their contributions to electronic music’s ongoing evolution.

Parco Dora’s significance extends beyond its industrial aesthetic. The reimagined site reflects Turin’s transformation from manufacturing hub to cultural capital, creating six distinct stages across concrete structures and green spaces. Beyond the main festival, the Art + Techno Experience returns in 2026, offering a four-day immersion combining curated gallery tours, fine dining, and luxury accommodations that blur boundaries between art, lifestyle, and sound.

Last year’s edition drew over 120,000 attendees from more than 150 countries and earned recognition as the sixth-best festival in the world according to DJ Mag, the only Italian festival in DJ Mag’s top 10 alongside Coachella and Glastonbury.

More lineup announcements are coming as summer approaches. In the meantime, fans can revisit previous editions through more than 40 exclusive DJ mixes recorded live at the festival on Apple Music, including sets from Vintage Culture B2B Beltran, Tiësto, Adam Beyer, Seth Troxler, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox B2B Nicole Moudaber, and more. 2025 live sets from Charlotte de Witte, OGUZ, Adam Beyer B2B Maceo Plex, Vintage Culture B2B Beltran, and Meduza are also available now on YouTube with more coming soon.

Early bird tickets for 2026 have sold out, but three-day general admission, VIP, and Art & Techno experience packages remain available through kappafuturfestival.it.
