John Summit has unveiled the complete artist roster for the 2026 edition of Experts Only Festival, set for September 19-20 at Randall's Island in New York. The announcement follows a first-wave reveal in late March that featured a back-to-back set from Summit and Subtronics.
New additions and three-stage expansion
The newly announced acts include Will Clarke, Max Styler b2b Adam Ten, Innellea b2b Korolova, Broken Hill, No Static, and rSun. They join previously confirmed artists Prospa, Taiki Nulight, Devault, and EDM.com Class of 2026 artist LYNY.
Organizers are introducing three distinct stage experiences for 2026, each with its own visual identity, atmosphere, and musical direction.
Building on a successful debut
The inaugural Experts Only Festival in 2025 drew 50,000 attendees and became the region's largest dance music event, helping Randall's Island move past the shadow of Electric Zoo's troubled 2023 edition and the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Avant Gardner, which shuttered the Brooklyn Mirage.
"After last year's debut proved there's a massive appetite for Experts Only in New York, we're excited to return with an even bigger experience," Adam Richman, co-founder of organizer Medium Rare, told EDM.com in March. "Together, we're pushing the boundaries of what an artist-led dance music festival can look like, and we're proud to help bring that vision to life."
Two-day tickets are on sale now. Single-day tickets go on sale Friday, July 31 at 12pm ET via the festival's website.
