Snow Machine has unveiled its huge second lineup for the 2026 edition in Hakuba, Japan, and it’s one of the biggest yet.

He’ll be joined by drum and bass legend Sub Focus—whose anthems like “Tidal Wave” and “Turn Back Time” are sure to ignite the slopes—and French house pioneer Dimitri From Paris, bringing his signature disco grooves to Japan’s frosty wonderland.

Also announced are electronic favourites Armand Van Helden, Flight Facilities (DJ Set), Gorgon City, Belters Only, Hannah Laing, Mall Grab, and Mark Blair, alongside standout underground acts Juliet Fox, Hiroko Yamamura, Victor Ruiz, and many more.
