Insomniac has shared the first batch of artist names and new dates for Apocalypse Zombieland 2026.
Steered by the festival giant’s Bassrush brand, the doomsday-themed event is back at the historic Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach, California, for its fourth edition on June 19-20, amassing a lineup of over 80 leading DJs dropping dubstep, D&B, riddim, and other bass-heavy styles.
After several names were teased in an interactive game on the festival’s website last week, highlights from today’s lineup announcement include a cross-generational B2B from Excision and Wooli, sets from dubstep maven LEVEL UP and renowned genre innovator Virtual Riot, and a rare U.S. performance from D&B legend and Metalheadz label head Goldie.
The strong drum & bass bill continues with anticipated showings from Grafix B2B Subsonic, Camo & Krooked, Metrik, Sota, and Mefjus with Daxta MC, alongside top underground names like Ivy Lab, Taiki Nulight, and Distinct Motive, and other fan-favorite players such as Casey Club, Cool Customer, FLY, HEYZ, HOL!, Kompany, Know Good, Richard Finger, and Space Laces. Check out the full phase one lineup below.
This year marks Apocalypse Zombieland’s first summer edition, shifting to June after its previous events were held over the weekend of Thanksgiving.
Two-day GA and VIP passes for Apocalypse Zombieland 2026 go on sale this Thursday, March 12, 12PM PT.
