Southern California’s favorite seaside house‑music weekender is back, and Day Trip Festival 2026 brings back more heat than ever. On June 27–28, thousands of house lovers will take over the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach, dancing under the sun, the sunset, and the stars to a lineup stacked with global heavyweights, rising stars, and fan‑favorite selectors.
☀️ A Weekend Built for House Heads
Day Trip has always been about good vibes, palm trees, and four‑on‑the‑floor bliss — and this year’s lineup reads like a love letter to every corner of the house spectrum.
Saturday, June 27 kicks off with a bang. The High Tide stage brings a mix of legends and modern hitmakers, including Green Velvet going b2b with Josh Baker, the always‑vibrant Purple Disco Machine delivering a special sunset set, and a surprise twist with RuPaul (DJ Set). Over at Deep End, groove‑driven favorites like Gordo, Kolter, and Obskür keep the energy rolling. And the Amphitheater stage leans into eclectic, high‑energy selections from artists like Ben Hemsley, Jaguar, and Rebecca Black (DJ Set).
Sunday, June 28 keeps the momentum alive. Cloonee, Hayden James, and Sidepiece b2b Westend headline a stacked High Tide roster, while Deep End brings deeper, darker flavors from Loco Dice, Sidney Charles, and Riordan. The Amphitheater closes the weekend with a massive sunset moment from Adam Beyer, plus sets from HI‑LO, Lilly Palmer, and Weska.
🌊 Why Day Trip 2026 Stands Out
- The Waterfront Setting: Dancing with ocean air, skyline views, and the Queen Mary as a backdrop hits different.
- Sunset Sets: Day Trip is famous for them — and 2026 features sunset performances from Purple Disco Machine, Kolter, It’s Murph, Riordan, and Adam Beyer.
- Genre Diversity Within House: From disco‑infused grooves to tech‑heavy rollers, every stage has its own flavor.
- Community Energy: Day Trip crowds are friendly, stylish, and there for the music — no better place to meet fellow house lovers.
🎶 Artists You Can’t Miss
- Purple Disco Machine — Expect shimmering disco, neon synths, and a sunset moment built for pure serotonin.
- Green Velvet — A Chicago icon bringing his unmistakable energy and hypnotic tech‑house sound.
- Cloonee — One of the hottest names in modern tech‑house, guaranteed to draw a massive crowd.
- Adam Beyer — A rare Day Trip appearance from the Drumcode boss, closing the weekend with a sunset set that will be talked about all year.
🌅 Final Thoughts
Day Trip Festival 2026 isn’t just another festival — it’s a celebration of everything that makes Southern California’s dance scene special. Sun, sea, house music, and a lineup that balances legends with fresh talent. Whether you’re a die‑hard house head or just looking for the perfect summer weekend, Long Beach is the place to be.
