Envision Festival has unveiled Phase 2 of its 2026 lineup, adding more than 100 artists, teachers, and performers for its February 23–March 2 gathering. The announcement introduces international headliners Polo & Pan—marking their Costa Rica debut—and Damian Lazarus, alongside deep-roots reggae icon Dezarie and bass heavyweights Ivy Lab and Memba. They join a Phase 1 roster featuring Bob Moses, CloZee, and Daily Bread, further expanding one of the most immersive and holistic festival experiences in the world.
The 2026 edition marks the 16th anniversary of Envision, a week-long gathering designed to shift consciousness and inspire hope through music, movement, art, and education. Rooted in themes of community and ecological harmony, the event continues to evolve its mission while offering on-site accommodations and a fully immersive environment.
Envision is nestled in the Southern Pacific Coastal Region of Costa Rica, widely known as Costa Ballena—a convergence point where the Pacific Ocean meets the rising foothills of the Cordillera de Talamanca Mountains. Together, these landscapes form part of the greater Osa region, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. The festival’s Phase 2 additions deepen its cultural and ecological foundation, bringing permaculture leaders, regenerative-living experts, indigenous elders from the YAWANAWA community, aerialists, fire performers, and movement facilitators into the fold.
This year’s theme, “Back to Our Roots,” reflects a renewed commitment to honoring the land and the people who call it home. As highlighted in recent Billboard coverage, Envision is reimagining its format to create a more intentional, higher-quality guest experience.
In a message from Co-Founder and CEO Joshua Wendel, he shares:
“The world needs hope and connection now more than ever. Envision is a unique week-long educational retreat for humans seeking a more meaningful, community-driven way of living in one of the world’s most biodiverse places. In the midst of a world-class music and art experience, Envision offers endless ways to explore human potential and how to live in harmony with nature.”
As part of its ongoing evolution, Envision is implementing several significant guest experience improvements for 2026. The festival will reduce capacity by 2,000 guests to create a more intimate gathering capped at 5,500 attendees. A new on-site water system—designed by leading water specialists—will improve filtration, storage, and access, while promoting water conservation through large-capacity storage tanks and waterless composting toilets. Additionally, Envision is deepening its partnerships within Costa Rica, increasing local hiring, sourcing food and beverages from regional producers, and expanding reforestation and composting programs.
Phase 2 brings an expansive array of musical, educational, and performance-focused talent. Notable new additions include Polo & Pan, Damian Lazarus, Dezarie, Ivy Lab, Memba, Shima, Chancha Via Circuito, Grouch in Dub, Christian Löffler, Parra for Cuva, Justin Martin, Rampue, 5AM Trio, Magpie Jay, Mfinity, Nina, Nominus, Oveous, and Yoko. These artists join previously announced headliners Bob Moses (club set), CloZee, Daily Bread, and Emancipator, signaling one of the festival’s most diverse and ambitious lineups yet.
The educational program expands with thought leaders such as Aubrey Marcus, Nat Kelly, Blu of Earth, and Sacred Sons, teaching permaculture, regenerative living, and consciousness exploration. The YAWANAWA return with powerful ancestral teachings, while Ana Elizondo Indígena Boruca once again leads the Sacred Fire ceremony. Movement programming includes global facilitators and collectives like Amenti, offering embodied practices throughout the week.
Passes for Envision 2026 are now available. Full lineup details, schedules, accommodations, and experience offerings can be found at Envision Festival. The event takes place at Rancho La Merced in Uvita, Costa Rica, located just 1.5 kilometers north of Marino Ballena National Park, a protected marine sanctuary home to humpback whales, dolphins, manta rays, and vibrant coastal biodiversity.
