Liquid Stranger’s WAKAAN Music Festival just dropped its 2026 lineup.
The three-night camping festival from the experimental bass maestro’s famed label will return to Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas, with a massive lineup spanning top genre names and sounds on the outer reaches of bass music from October 1-3, along with a pre-party kicking off the weekend early on September 30.
Alongside Liquid Stranger, who will take the stage twice across the weekend, the lineup features experimental bass shapeshifter Of The Trees, fellow genre favorites like AHEE, Champagne Drip, and Detox Unit, dubstep veteran Flux Pavilion, and tearout favorite Getter, as well as surging names in 140 like Distinct Motive and EAZYBAKED.
This year, WAKAAN also pushes beyond its usual bass-heavy territory with sets from renowned clubland experimentalist Machinedrum and Canadian bass house artist Nostalgix, bringing a variety of different sounds to the mountain. The rest of the bill runs deep with Jantsen, Sully, Shlump, Smoakland, Doctor P, Hairitage, Hostage Situation, Jon Casey, Pretty Sweet, and many more.
Check out the full lineup below.
“Every year I ask myself how we can make this gathering even more special, and every year this community inspires us to dream a little bigger,” Liquid Stranger wrote on Instagram today. “I’m incredibly grateful to every artist, every fan, and everyone behind the scenes who help make WAKAAN Festival what it is.”
