A new luxury electronic music festival is set to make its debut on August 21, 2026, as 12:XII arrives in Marbella, Spain, with a one-day celebration built around the theme Beyond Time. Blending world-class electronic music, premium production, and one of the Mediterranean’s most glamorous destinations, the inaugural edition will be headlined by global superstar DJ Snake, alongside Joezi, Skinny, Deelan, Blacksun, Diego Marin, and additional artists still to be announced.
Created for music fans seeking a premium festival experience, 12:XII combines cutting-edge production with the luxury lifestyle that has made Marbella one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations. Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sierra Blanca mountains, the city is renowned for its iconic beach clubs, upscale restaurants, luxury hotels, and vibrant nightlife, providing the perfect backdrop for the festival’s debut.
The event will take place at Recinto Ferial de San Pedro Alcántara, an expansive open-air venue that will be transformed with massive LED screens, dynamic stage structures, immersive lighting, ice cannons, and a world-class sound system. Surrounded by palm trees and offering elevated VIP and backstage viewing areas, the venue promises an unforgettable atmosphere from the afternoon sunshine through to the star-filled evening.
Leading the lineup is DJ Snake, one of the most influential electronic artists of the past decade. The French producer has amassed billions of streams through chart-topping hits including “Turn Down for What,” “Lean On,” “Taki Taki,” and “Let Me Love You,” while headlining the world’s biggest festivals and arenas. His performance will anchor a lineup designed to blend mainstream appeal with underground credibility.
Joining him is Joezi, whose emotionally driven fusion of Afro house and melodic electronic music has established him as one of the genre’s fastest-rising talents. The inaugural lineup also features Skinny, Deelan, Blacksun, and Diego Marin, with more artists expected to be announced in the coming months.
The festival’s name, 12:XII, reflects a connection first established in December 2012, symbolizing the shared vision of its creators to unite expertise in electronic music, luxury hospitality, and artistic direction into a new annual destination event.
Explaining the concept behind the festival, the founder said:
“Great brands are built around an idea, not an event. 12:XII was born from the belief that time is the ultimate luxury, and that one extraordinary night can live far beyond the moment itself. DJ Snake was the natural choice to open that story because true icons don’t just perform—they define generations.”
More than simply another summer festival, 12:XII aims to create an immersive lifestyle experience that reflects the elegance and energy of Marbella itself. From its carefully curated musical programming to its premium hospitality offerings, every element has been designed to deliver a sophisticated celebration of electronic music in one of Southern Europe’s most iconic coastal destinations.
With its combination of internationally renowned talent, luxury production, and a stunning open-air setting overlooking Marbella, 12:XII is poised to become a standout addition to the city’s summer cultural calendar and a new destination for electronic music fans seeking a premium festival experience.
General Admission tickets are on sale now starting at €49, with a limited number of VIP tables also available for the inaugural edition of what promises to be one of the Mediterranean’s most exciting new electronic music events.
