Making Time has shared its 2026 lineup.
Known as one of the East Coast’s best-kept electronic music secrets, the celebrated underground gathering returns to Philadelphia’s Fort Mifflin from September 18-20, bringing over 120 acts from across the global dance and alternative underground to the historic Revolutionary War fort on the banks of the Delaware River.
This year’s bill is led by Bicep’s only U.S. performance of the year, former Sonic Youth frontwoman Kim Gordon, house legend Theo Parrish, German IDM innovator Skee Mask, and fellow clubland stalwarts such as Marcell Dettmann, Daphni, Smerz, Avalon Emerson (also performing with her live band, the Charm), Tiga, Sandwell District, Erol Alkan, Optimo (Epacio) and more.
The lineup continues with John Talabot, Sextile, Wata Igarashi, Baalti, Spray, Main Phase, experimental duo Los Thuthanaka, a live performance from Daniel Avery, and renowned bands like surging electroclash group ear and shoegaze icons They Are Gutting a Body of Water. Anticipated B2Bs come from Octo Octa & Eris Drew, Aurora Halal & Verracco, Yu Su & Moopie, SWISHA & JEWELSSEA, and DJ Python B2B Qoso, among others.
Founded by heady Philly DJ Dave P, Making Time began as a party series in Philadelphia in 2000, before expanding into a multi-day festival in 2019.
