SXM Festival 2026: Arodes, Chus and Ceballos, Franky Wah and More Added to Bill
SXM Festival 2026 has set the next marker for its tenth edition, rolling out a Phase Two announcement that expands the festival’s 2026 identity with a deeper spread of house, techno, melodic, afro, progressive and forward-leaning electronic sounds.
SXM Festival 2026 returns to Saint Martin from March 18 to 22, turning the island’s beaches, jungles and hilltops into a five-day circuit of day-to-night programming.
Phase Two folds in a mix of global names and returning favourites. Arodes brings the melodic style that has defined his rise from Tulum to Ibiza. Bontan picks up where he left off with his groove-driven sets. Chus and Ceballos, long associated with the Iberican sound, make a long-awaited comeback. Francis Mercier adds his Afro-influenced approach, linking with Adassiya and Moblack for a Soley-hosted Villa party.
Cristoph joins with his polished progressive and tech sound, while Franky Wah adds the melodic heft that has shaped his recent run of anthems. Nico de Andrea returns after a year of global touring, and Zamna Soundsystem brings its high-energy curation back to Happy Bay.
The new additions reinforce the festival’s reputation as a global meeting point, drawing a community that travels from more than 58 countries to experience oceanfront stages, jungle settings, sunrise sessions and villa events across the island.
These names build on the already announced Phase One artists, including Carl Cox, Deep Dish, Elderbrook (DJ set), Lee Burridge, Andhim, Layton Giordani, Spencer Brown, Natascha Polké (Live), Eli Fola (Hybrid), Marten Lou, Nimino, Tripolism, Yamagucci, Yet More and others.
Together, the full program frames a wide-ranging journey through contemporary electronic music, spread across SXM Festival 2026’s trademark locations: beach takeovers, the Arc Stage, hidden jungle platforms and the elevated Panorama Party at the island’s highest point. Every setting is chosen to integrate naturally with the landscape, a principle that has guided the festival since its launch.
Beyond the music, the 2026 edition encourages visitors to explore Saint Martin’s beaches, mountains, French-Caribbean culinary culture and island-wide energy through sunrise sessions, oceanfront shows, villa gatherings, jungle stages, food and culture pop-ups, and large-scale art and design installations.
Phase Two tickets and travel packages are now available via the SXM Festival website.
