John Summit’s Experts Only Festival is returning to New York City with another massive lineup.
After delivering for NYC ravers in last year’s debut, the two-day festival from the Chicago-hailing superstar’s fan-favorite label and events brand is back at Randall’s Island Park on September 19-20, bringing together top house and techno DJs and making its first foray into dubstep.
On top of a Summit solo headline, Experts Only Festival 2026 welcomes performances from leading names across the electronic music spectrum, including the awaited return of Subjohnics (John Summit B2B Subtronics) and solo sets from Prospa, Partiboi69, Taiki Nulight, GRiZ, Devault, Jackie Hollander, Rohaan, Airrica, and more.
Five more names, including a B2B partner to play with Korolova and another surprise pairing, will be revealed for the 50,000-capacity event (Experts Only is NYC’s largest dance festival, according to organizers) in the coming weeks. Check out the full lineup below.
Pre-sale registration for Experts Only Festival 2026 is now open here. Pre-sale ticket access begins this Friday, April 3, at 10AM ET. General on-sale will follow on the same date at 12PM ET.
