Countdown NYE Reveals Lineup for Upcoming Edition in LA

Above & Beyond, Hedex, John Summit, Pryda, Sub Focus, Crankdat, Madeon, Slander, and more are playing this year’s edition of Countdown NYE.

Last month brought a twist for those looking to celebrate the end of the year and the start of 2026 at Countdown NYE. While the festival had become known for its annual takeover of the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino since its inception, Insomniac announced that it would be shifting gears this year and heading to the Los Angeles Convention Center instead, as Forever Midnight went on hiatus.

Questions loomed about the upcoming edition of Countdown NYE as Insomniac teased that there would be four stages for attendees to explore. Today, those looking to dance with the alien invaders before, during, and after the clock striking 12am now know who will be providing that soundtrack as the lineup was revealed just moments ago.

A diverse range of styles will be present at Countdown NYE this year. Those who want a touch of trance and progressive house will be delighted to know that Above & Beyond and Pryda are slated to perform. Beloved French artist Madeon, house phenom John Summit, and UKG rising star MPH are slated to take the stage, while melodic techno will boom from the speakers when Kevin de Vries plays. Not to mention other standouts such as AR/CO, Marie Nyx, AK Sports, Clara Cuvé, Kobosil, Gravagerz, southstar, and Shlømo from the house and techno spectrum.

Bass music lovers will also be able to get their fix when artists like Crankdat and Slander perform, while Sub Focus and Hedex will represent drum and bass to their fullest. Those looking for dynamic dance sounds won’t want to miss the sets from Wuki and Starjunk 95, which add some flair to the festival. With 25 artists announced on the lineup, and Countdown NYE set to run from 7pm to 5am, you can expect more artists to be revealed for the festival’s Beatbox stage in the coming weeks.
