Heard It Here First

Your next destination festival has arrived. Sacred Acre, located on the breathtaking Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, just announced its 2026 lineup, packed with high-powered artists including Tape B, INZO, Effin, Maddy O’ Neal, OPIUO, Cool Customer, Mr. Bill, Tripp St., OkayJake, STVSH, Josh Teed, Phyphr, Audio Goblin, Meduso, Mlotik, Dredlok, David Starfire, and many more.

This is the fifth iteration of Sacred Acre, a festival that emphasizes nature, spirituality, interconnectedness, ocean preservation, and, most importantly, immersive EDM experiences. The venue is situated in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, surrounded by vast spruce trees and backed by the Cook Inlet coastline. Be sure to pay attention to the tides, because as the waters of the Cook Inlet recede, the namesake of the festival emerges, teeming with sand, tide pools, and ancient rocks.

This is not just any standard music festival; it is a journey full of nature, art, and community that converges magically into one beautiful and rich tapestry.

There is much, much more than just music at Sacred Acre. There are also art installations, a pre-festival boat party, workshops, helicopter rides, and a ton of other nature-centric excursions. Priding themselves on their fight against factory trawling, Sacred Acres has curated educational workshops, immersive experiences, and direct action focused on environmental advocacy.

Here’s what the festival director Chris Miller had to say about Sacred Acre:

“Every year, we’re not just throwing a party. We’re trying to build something that actually matters. Getting people together in a place like this, surrounded by so much beauty, creates space to celebrate, learn from each other, and hopefully leave a little more inspired to take action.”

With a weekend full of activities and mind-bending experiences, we encourage you to get lost in it all, and here are some of the can’t-miss performances to see along the way.
