Insomniac has revealed the full artist lineup for the 2026 edition of Escape Psycho Circus, its flagship Halloween music festival, packing over 80 acts across more than five stages. The 16th edition of the event takes place Friday, October 30 through Saturday, October 31, at the iconic NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA.
The 2026 bill is led by some of dance music’s biggest names, including Zedd, Ice Cube, Excision, techno pioneer Richie Hawtin, and festival mainstays Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Galantis, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Alok, and Morten.
Fans of harder, heavier sounds get high-octane sets from 999999999, AZYR, Cera Khin, Clara Cuvé, Darren Styles, Indira Paganotto, KLOUD, Nina Kraviz, and Trym, alongside a Showtek Hardstyle Set and a Frontliner Journey Set.
House music takes center stage too, with Cloonee, chart-topping “No Broke Boys” producer Disco Lines, Los Angeles’ OMNOM, Croatia’s San Pacho, and duo TELYKAST joined by rising names KREAM, Kana Hishiya, Silvie Loto, Yanamaste, Pedroz, Rommii, and Cat & Maomi. The lineup also brings a stacked slate of back-to-back sets, including Joseph Capriati B2B SOSA, Jamie Jones B2B Franky Rizardo, Alex Chapman B2B Zoe Gitter, Lady Faith B2B LNY TNZ, and Andruss B2B Juos. Eurodance icon Cascada also joins the bill, bringing her instantly recognizable anthems to the Escape stage. Insomniac’s Discovery Project will select one additional act to round out the lineup with a festival slot.
The event’s programming gets an extra layer from Insomniac’s roster of stage hosts, each bringing their own sound to the experience. Basscon delivers hardstyle and hardcore, Bassrush brings its signature bass and dubstep sound, The Factory 93 Experience showcases techno and house, and Night Trip x Insomniac Records blends late-night club energy with homegrown dance music. Mutate, Insomniac’s new hard dance imprint, makes its Escape debut this year as well.
Two-day GA, GA+, and 21+ VIP tickets go on sale Thursday, August 6, at 12pm PT on EscapeHalloween.com.
Insomniac, led by founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella, is also behind major festivals including Electric Daisy Carnival, Beyond Wonderland, and Nocturnal Wonderland. For more than 30 years, Rotella has pushed dance music into arenas, clubs, and venues like the Las Vegas Sphere, all while staying rooted in the California underground scene that sparked the movement in the first place.
