Tampa’s longtime Sunset Music Festival is getting a new name, a new home, and a new feel. Sunset On The River Music & Arts Festival has announced its inaugural lineup, led by Alesso, Disco Lines, ALOK, Lost Frequencies, and ACRAZE. The two-day, 21+ event takes place February 20-21, 2027 at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park along the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa.
Presented by Sunset Events and Disco Presents, it’s the third festival concept from Sunset Events, after Sunset Music Festival and Holiday Riverfest. The move from the festival’s traditional Memorial Day weekend to February, paired with a new location and a more selective approach to attendance, signals a shift in both scale and sensibility. The pitch is a more intimate waterfront experience where electronic music, immersive art, refined hospitality, and curated food come together under the banner “Curated Sound. Cultured Crowd.”
The lineup follows that philosophy by ranging across electronic music instead of sticking to one lane. Alesso brings soaring, euphoric anthems, and ALOK adds globally influenced, high-energy sounds. Lost Frequencies contributes warm, melodic house, while Disco Lines serves up feel-good house grooves and playful rhythms. ACRAZE adds a harder-hitting edge with bass-driven tech house. OMNOM and Westend bring their takes on house and tech house, and TOKiMONSTA, whose music blends electronic, hip-hop, and soulful textures, adds an adventurous dimension. Angrybaby, DJ Mandy, John Anthony, Kyefi, Leondis, Pushman, Sueno, and Wes Mills round out the bill, mixing internationally known names with emerging artists.
John Santoro of Sunset Events said:
“Sunset has been part of Tampa’s cultural landscape for nearly two decades, and we’ve watched the city evolve in remarkable ways. We felt it was time for the festival to evolve alongside it. Sunset On The River allows us to build on that history while introducing a more refined experience that reflects the Tampa of today, its waterfront, its culture and the community that has supported us from the beginning.”

James “Disco Donnie” Estopinal of Disco Presents added:
“We wanted the music to reflect the kind of experience we’re creating with Sunset On The River. There’s a great balance of established artists and newer talent, with different sounds that complement each other. It’s about giving people a chance to discover music, enjoy the setting and experience the festival in a different way.”

Beyond the stages, organizers plan immersive art installations, curated culinary offerings, and elevated hospitality, with more details on the art, food, hospitality, and special activations to be revealed in the months ahead. The festival also benefits ForHearts Worldwide, an organization providing life-saving cardiac care to people in need around the world, and every ticket purchased helps support its mission.
