We’re back talking about Experts Only Festival, the event created by John Summit that will once again transform Randall’s Island Park into the heart of New York City’s electronic music scene on September 19–20. We first told you about it in our article back in April.
After a sold-out debut in 2025, the festival returns with an even bigger edition, ready to welcome more than 50,000 attendees.
The full lineup has now been revealed, with newly added artists including Max Styler b2b Adam Ten, Will Clarke, Innellea b2b Korolova, Broken Hill, No Static, and rSun. Previously announced acts including GRiZ, SUBJOHNICS (John Summit b2b Subtronics), Prospa, LYNY, Taiki Nulight, Partiboi69, and many more have also been confirmed.
The 2026 edition will also introduce three themed stage experiences. The Main Stage will feature a massive production with lasers, LED walls, special effects, and the brand-new LIV Stage Experience, an exclusive VIP area located right next to the DJ booth. Mirror Field will offer an immersive journey through large-scale art installations and more eclectic electronic sounds, while the unique Pwemium Lounge, inspired by the viral meme of the same name, will deliver an intimate indie dance experience.
Weekend tickets are already on sale, while single-day tickets will become available on July 31. More details about the festival schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
