SXM Festival 2026: A Caribbean Dream of House, Techno & Global Connection

From March 18–22, 2026, SXM Festival returns to the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, promising five unforgettable days of music, magic, and movement under the tropical sun. Celebrated for blending world-class electronic acts with breathtaking natural settings, SXM has become a true pilgrimage for global music lovers — and its newly announced Phase 2 lineup only raises the bar.

This year’s additions include some of the most respected and in-demand artists on the international circuit. Arodes brings his melodic flair from Tulum to Ibiza to Saint Martin, while UK’s Bontan returns with his infectious house grooves. Iberican icons Chus & Ceballos make a long-awaited comeback, alongside Francis Mercier, whose Afro-inspired energy will light up the Villa Party under his Soley imprint, joined by Adassiya and Moblack.

The bill deepens further with Cristoph and Franky Wah, masters of melodic and progressive sounds, plus Nico de Andrea, fresh off a year of international shows. Meanwhile, Zamna Soundsystem will bring its signature high-octane experience straight from Tulum to the festival’s beachfront haven, Happy Bay.

They join a stacked Phase 1 roster featuring Carl Cox, Deep Dish, Elderbrook (DJ Set), Lee Burridge, Andhim, Layton Giordani, Spencer Brown, Natascha Polké (Live), Eli Fola (Hybrid) and more — a lineup that reflects every shade of contemporary electronic music.

Since its debut in 2016, SXM Festival has been more than just an event; it’s a full-sensory journey. Each stage — from sunrise beach sessions and secret jungle parties to the legendary Panorama Party atop the island’s highest peak — is designed to merge seamlessly with Saint Martin’s lush landscape. Add in immersive art installations, world-class food pop-ups, and a diverse international crowd from over 58 countries, and you’ve got one of the most unique festivals on the planet.

Phase 2 tickets and travel packages are now available at sxmfestival.com, but don’t wait too long. Paradise doesn’t stay secret for long.
