Lebanon’s Aegis Festival Announces 2026 Lineup July 10-12

In May, Aegis Festival announced a decisive shift for its 2026 edition. Amid ongoing Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and broader regional instability, the festival is reorienting itself toward a fully homegrown vision, spotlighting regional artists deeply embedded in Lebanon’s electronic music ecosystem.

Now, Aegis Festival is finally announcing the full lineup for its new, fully-homegrown, edition, ‘Of This Land’, running from July 10th to July 12th on the green-capped hilltops of the idyllic sanctuary of Arnaoon Village in Batroun. Spread across five open-air stages, the programme brings together a mix of regional mainstays and rising selectors alongside a handful of international names. The bill features Omar Fayyad b2b Shadi Magella, Nicole Moudaber, Misty b2b Hisham Zahran, Aly B b2b Hashem, Jade, Jixo & Danz, Nesta, Nour Fahmy, Ramez (live), Aly Goede, Eli Atala, Rolbac, Ronin. And TIA B2b Hrag Mikkel.

The lineup also includes Automatic Writing - a Paris-based vinyl-only DJ act trio known for their minimal house fusion that has been grooving dancefloors across Europe since 2016, and Austrian music group, Audiokult. And for the first time since its launch, the festival is bringing a curation of live bands as well, including Taxi 404, Bonne Chose, Jammit The Band (Live), among others. 

This year, the regional collectives and event series presenting showcases at the festival has grown even bigger, featuring the likes of Futomama, and PopMusic, alongside recurring fixtures like retrogroove, Fantome de Nuit, SUNKSSD, and 2ndSun. Besides the 72 hours of electronic music, the festival will also feature a wide range of wellness-based activations, art installations and a marketplace, sprawled all over the festival’s grounds, showcasing creatives’ work and practices from across the SWANA region. 

Tickets are now available via Aegis Festival’s official website. Stay tuned to SceneNoise for more announcements about everything happening at the festival.
