Marking another chapter for one of Europe’s most formidable electronic events, next year's event will unfold across two epic days, with 40,000 ravers and five fully immersive stages headlined by over 100 cutting-edge artists for a weekend of unrelenting energy and precision production.
The 2026 lineup is a razor-sharp snapshot of contemporary electronic music and collision of heavyweights, legends, disruptors and future icons of techno. Set to perform are the likes of Detroit godfather ROBERT HOOD whose loopy sound helped characterise early minimal and remains in a class of its own.
The raucous SARA LANDRY presents the UK debut of her ETERNALISM show and her only Scottish appearance all year.
From German schranz master KLANGKUENSTLER to current industrial techno icons FANTASM, KLOFAMA, VIEZE ASBAK RESTRICTED and many more heavy hitting acts.
They’re joined by a wide range of underground stars across house, techno and bass such as Mall Grab, Anetha x DJ Gigola, Clara Cuvé, East End Dubs, Somewhen x Otta, Paige Tomlinson and many more with each bringing their distinct edge to the festival’s next evolution.
Built from the ground up for sheer sonic intensity, Terminal V has a deserving reputation for monumental scale and meticulous attention to detail. Every stage is designed as a standalone world with bespoke architecture, high-impact visuals and chest-rattling sound for a sensory overload built for those who live and breathe dance music.
From daylight euphoria to warehouse darkness, Terminal V captures the full spectrum of modern electronic music in one communal surge of sound and light.
