Factory 93’s Skyline Festival has unveiled the initial artist lineup for its 2026 edition, set to take place February 28 – March 1 at its new downtown home, Ace*Mission Studios in Los Angeles. Produced by Insomniac’s Factory 93, the festival marks its fifth anniversary with its most ambitious expansion yet, uniting globally respected electronic music talent with the city’s underground innovators.
Since its debut, Skyline has become a staple of LA’s dance music identity, bridging the city’s warehouse heritage with the forward-thinking pulse of modern house and techno. Its continued evolution through various iconic downtown venues has cultivated a culture centered on discovery, boundary-pushing sounds, and curating artists shaping the future of electronic music.
For 2026, Skyline returns with the West Side, East Side, and community-driven Arts District stages (with that lineup set to arrive in the new year) along with a brand-new fourth environment—the Downtown stage, hosted in partnership with Resident Advisor. The shift to Ace*Mission Studios also allows Skyline to introduce a dedicated warehouse stage experience, a nod to the industrial roots of the LA underground.
The East Side stage brings a heavy-hitting roster led by Spanish standout Dennis Cruz, Up The Stuss label boss Chris Stussy, Brazilian powerhouse Beltran, and LA native Hank. High-energy back-to-back sets include The Blessed Madonna B2B HAAi and Toman B2B Miguelle & Tons. Additional highlights span techno, trance, and rave-ready sounds from Marco Carola, Eli Brown, I Hate Models, KI/KI, DJ Gigola, Elli Acula, Joanna Kuchta, PARAMIDA, and Supergloss.
On the West Side stage, attendees can expect the intensity of hard-techno duo 999999999, global favorite Joseph Capriati, Polish innovator VTSS, versatile selector Quest, and standout B2Bs including Adrián Mills B2B Cloudy and DJ Tennis B2B DJ Boring. The lineup also features the emotive stylings of DJ Seinfeld, the genre-spanning approach of Ahmed Spins, Tunnel Worldwide founder OZA, and rising names fumi, ChaseWest, Dee Diggs, and Wakyin.
The new Resident Advisor–hosted Downtown stage will explore the more experimental, eclectic edges of electronic music. It will feature techno pioneer Richie Hawtin, the fearless curation of Ben UFO, the boundary-defying energy of Avalon Emerson, the raw power of MCR-T, global club favorite SPFDJ, the forward-facing productions of Nick León and Verraco, and innovative pairings such as Danny Daze B2B Ryan Elliott and Jyoty B2B Zack Fox. Germany’s beloved tINI, plus rising selectors Sedef Adasï, Fundido, and Etari, round out the stage’s adventurous programming.
With the addition of the Downtown stage, Skyline expands its offering to over ten hours of music per day and more than sixty artists—the festival’s largest and most immersive musical experience to date. Official afterparties inside the Ace*Mission Studios warehouse will keep the energy going late into the night, with details to be announced closer to the event.
Set along the LA River near the historic Arts District, Ace*Mission Studios brings an industrial backdrop deeply connected to the city’s underground culture. Once a beverage distribution hub built by the Anderson family, the site has been revitalized into a creative campus at the center of a rapidly growing neighborhood. Long before its modern rebirth, this area served as a gathering point for underground communities, where music, art, and shared culture found refuge in its network of clandestine warehouses.
Two-day GA and Stage Access passes go on sale December 5 at 12pm PT, with early access available through the Skyline Community Ticket Presale beginning at 11am PT the same day. Stage Access returns with expanded perks including a private entrance, upscale bar offerings, premium air-cooled restrooms, enhanced food experiences, a backstage lounge, and dedicated concierge service.
