Liquid Stranger Drops 2026 WAKAAN Lineup

Liquid Stranger has announced the much awaited 2026 lineup for WAKAAN Music Festival! This time of year is my favorite – the WAKAAN Fest Fam Facebook group is always lit with multiple posts asking where the lineup is or when it will drop. WAKAAN founder Liquid Stranger knows what he’s doing, though. This is one of those festivals where most fans buy tickets ahead of the lineup, because we will be attending regardless. The vibes and limited capacity make this home to a lot of bassheads. Not surprisingly, the fest will be returning to the Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas, Sept. 30–Oct. 3. If you’ve never been to this gorgeous venue, now’s the time to secure your tickets!

This year’s lineup includes two sets from Liquid Stranger, as well as some top names in bass music like Of The Trees, Getter, Distinct Motive, Machinedrum, Nostalgix, and Meduso. Also of note are the WAKAAN debuts from Whethan, Flux Pavilion, and Detox Unit, plus so much more. I’m not joking…go grab your tickets immediately!

Now for the massive list of artists! I love that everyone on the poster is the same font and size, listed A-Z. This is a nod to Liquid Stranger’s effort to hold space and opportunity for acts of all sizes and to continue encouraging people to create and showcase their art. Live painters, muralists, creative installations and musical acts all have a shot to be featured.
