Having been teasing us with wave after wave of their 2024 lineup, Lebanon’s Aegis Festival, currently one of the region’s most highly-anticipated electronic music festivals, has finally announced the full lineup, and it slaps hard. (just saying).
Taking place from July 12th to July 14th amidst the idyllic sanctuary and glittering mountains of Arnaoon Village in Batroun, the festival is bringing together a cluster of prominent acts from across the globe, which now include Agents of Time, The Blaze (who will be pulling up with an electrifying DJ set), Eclair Fifi, Michel De Hey, Aless & Chirak, Gene On Earth, Janeret, and Rita. The lineup also features a slew of prominent regional DJs from Lebanon, Egypt and beyond, such as 3lias B2B Fares, Raphael Merheb and Aly Goede.
Aegis Festival has also announced a new exclusive stage in collaboration with Egypt’s events giant Nacelle and Dubia’s Retrogroove, which will be located right in the middle of the festival’s new art maze. So, good luck making it into the afterparty, or rather back to your tent if that’s even an option after 75 hours of non-stop dancing.
The festival will also feature taste-making showcases by regional record labels, collectives and event series from across the MENA region, the likes of Dubai’s Somewhere…, who will be partnering with MDLBEAST’s WTR, along with Lebanon’s own Fantome de Nuit x Tri3e.
Meanwhile, SceneNoise will be collaborating with Aegis to take its ‘Select’ live concept into the mountains with Select Pool, a chance to take a dip and listen to a special curation of regional acts including Akladios, Eli Atala, Horrible, Anthon, Hanadi Matta, Hrag Mikkel, Jess, SOS and T.
Besides the rolling waves of techno and house music, the festival will also feature a wide range of wellness activities, interactive art activations, food carts, and a local market.
