Next year’s edition of UNUM Festival includes Ricardo Villalobos, East End Dubs, Arapu, Ben Klock, and DJ Tennis in the Balkans near the Adriatic Sea.
After being recognized as 2025’s Best Global Festival by the DJ Awards, UNUM Festival has announced phase one of its lineup for the 2026 edition from June 4-8. Located in Shëngjin, Albania near the Adriatic Sea, the festival has become a staple event for rominimal, house, and techno fans since its 2019 debut. Now in its seventh year, UNUM continues to maintain itself as a proper underground event.
The phase 1 announcement features an impressive roster including the Chilean-Berlin legend Ricardo Villalobos, Ben Klock, Raresh, East End Dubs, Richy Ahmed, DJ Tennis, Dyed Soundorom, and a back to back from Gerd Janson and Krystal Klear. Additional artists include Praslea, Priku, Cap, Anna Wall, Arapu, Cameron Jack, DiSOA, Fell Reis, and Harry McCanna, representing both established legends and the next generation of artists.
The festival unfolds across three distinct stages, each offering its own character. The Pine Stage operates continuously for the full five days, nestled among tall pines and creating an intimate atmosphere for long, extended sets. The Beach Stage runs from sunrise to sunset, allowing attendees to dance with views of the Adriatic Sea. The Main Stage takes over during the nighttime, delivering the festival’s largest production and most cinematic stage.
Surrounded by forests and the beach, UNUM offers something rare in modern festival culture. Drawing inspiration from legendary events like Sunwaves, the festival prioritizes extended artist sets and a minimalist approach to production, letting the music remain the focal point rather than overshadowing it with pyrotechnics or large production.
Even with this lineup, UNUM also maintains remarkably fair ticket prices. Phase one tickets for all five days start at just 85 euros, with comprehensive travel packages including accommodation and festival access available from under 300 euros, making it one of Europe’s most affordable underground music experiences especially for five straight days.
Information about tickets and the various packages can be found on UNUM festival’s website. Phase two of the lineup and additional announcements will be made soon.
