Wakaan Festival, since it’s first year in 2018, has been a staple of the underground bass music world. Founded by dubstep legend Liquid Stranger and his iconic experimental bass collective Wakaan, the festival has brought so many superstar acts to Mulberry Mountain in Ozark Arkansas over the years, ranging from Subtronics to Tape B to GRiZ to Ganja White Night.
For the 2026 lineup, Wakaan is bringing out all of the stops. Not only are they bringing a cavalcade of the underground’s finest, they’re also spotlighting some legends, old and new, in today’s ever-growing dubstep world. Wakaan Festival is returning to the mountain September 30th to October 3rd and we cannot wait to head back home!
Leading the lineup is labelhead, Liquid Stranger (Two Sets), accompanied by absolute icons of the scene Getter, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, Jantsen, TRUTH, and The Widdler. The new generation of dubstep superstars on here are Of The Trees, Distinct Motive, Cyclops, Smoakland, AHEE, Detox Unit, Casey Club, Wraz, and tons more filling out the rest of the lineup.
Don’t miss sets from HIHF Guest Mix Alumni CHOZEN, DirtySnatcha, FloZone, Gardella, Meduso, Vyhara and XOTIX. Huge shout out to them, they’re going to crush it!
