Day Trip Festival has confirmed its return to the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach, California for its 2026 edition, with organisers promising the biggest event yet. The house and techno-focused festival will expand its footprint with a brand new third stage, The Long Beach Amphitheater, marking a major evolution for the rapidly growing West Coast dance event.

Presented by Insomniac, Day Trip has become one of Southern California’s premier destinations for house music fans. While the full 2026 lineup has yet to be revealed, anticipation is high following another massive sold-out edition in 2025, which brought together global dance heavyweights and rising underground talent across the waterfront stages.

Last year’s lineup featured major names including Gorgon City, Vintage Culture, Chris Lorenzo and Duke Dumont, alongside performances from Tiësto, Joseph Capriati, Layton Giordani and Eli Brown. The festival also showcased an array of house favourites including Wax Motif, Skream, Matroda and LP Giobbi, highlighting the event’s balance between mainstream stars and club culture staples.

Tickets for Day Trip Festival 2026 go on sale on 6th March, 2026, beginning with the Day Trip Family presale for past attendees at 10am PT. An SMS Early Access presale follows at 11am PT, before general tickets are released at 12pm PT. With the addition of a new stage and the promise of its largest edition yet, Day Trip Festival 2026 is already shaping up to be a standout moment on the North American dance calendar.
