ILLENIUM and Festication have officially unveiled the lineup for the fifth edition of Ember Shores, the acclaimed all-inclusive destination festival returning to the five-star Barceló Riviera Maya Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico, from November 20–22, 2026. Known for blending luxury travel with an intimate, community-focused festival atmosphere, this year’s event promises one of its biggest and most personal editions yet.
Leading the announcement is the highly anticipated first-ever official ILLENIUM B2B Subtronics performance. Long regarded as one of the most requested collaborations in modern bass music, the exclusive debut set stands as the centerpiece of the weekend and reinforces Ember Shores‘ reputation for delivering once-in-a-lifetime performances unavailable anywhere else.
The lineup arrives on the heels of ILLENIUM‘s latest album, ODYSSEY, and reflects the artists who have influenced his career while spotlighting the next generation of electronic music innovators. Rather than following conventional festival booking trends, Ember Shores continues to celebrate the creative community surrounding ILLENIUM, bringing together longtime collaborators, close friends, fan favorites, and emerging talent for a uniquely curated experience.
Returning members of the extended ILLENIUM family include Adventure Club, Dab The Sky, Grabbitz, Hoang, Nurko, Sabai, Sullivan King, and William Black, all of whom have become staples of previous Ember Shores editions. Joining them this year are an impressive collection of artists spanning melodic bass, dubstep, drum & bass, house, and crossover electronic sounds, including Steve Aoki, Dillon Francis, ÆON:MODE, Ian Asher, Lost Kings, Level Up, Ray Volpe, Ship Wrek, Viperactive, and many more.
Set against the stunning coastline of the Mexican Caribbean, Ember Shores continues to redefine the destination festival experience by combining world-class production with a limited-capacity environment designed to foster genuine connections between artists and fans. Every festival package includes accommodations at the all-inclusive Barceló Riviera Maya Resort, unlimited food and beverages, entry to every performance, and round-trip transportation from Cancún International Airport.
For 2026, organizers have introduced several enhancements aimed at improving the guest experience. Festivalgoers can look forward to upgraded food quality, expanded dining options, and relocated room inventory situated closer to the festival grounds, reducing travel time between accommodations and performances while creating a more seamless and immersive stay.
Beyond its stacked musical programming, Ember Shores offers an array of optional adventures that showcase the natural beauty of the region. Guests can enhance their weekend with experiences including catamaran cruises, snorkeling excursions, rappelling, and a variety of on-site resort activities, transforming the event into a true festival vacation.
Remaining Ember Shores 2026 packages go on sale Wednesday, July 15, at 10:00 a.m. PT. Packages are available for groups of two to four guests, with flexible payment plans and split-payment options designed to make the experience more accessible. Fans can also register for sale reminders and enter for a chance to win a room package for two by visiting the official Ember Shores website.
With an exclusive debut ILLENIUM B2B Subtronics performance, a carefully curated lineup spanning electronic music’s biggest names and rising stars, and an unmatched all-inclusive experience in Riviera Maya, Ember Shores 2026 is once again poised to be one of the year’s premier destination festivals.
