Los Angeles’ underground heartbeat is about to get louder. Skyline Festival is officially coming back for its fifth anniversary in 2026 — and this time, it’s taking over Ace*Mission Studios in downtown LA. Produced by Factory 93, this milestone edition promises to celebrate everything that makes LA’s house and techno scene so special: world-class talent, local innovators, and that unmistakable city energy that keeps the dance floor alive long after the lights go down.
Over the past four years, Skyline has carved out its own space in the city’s electronic landscape, bridging LA’s raw underground vibe with a global sound. Every year, it’s pulled together a lineup that feels both familiar and fresh — legends like Carl Cox, Charlotte de Witte, and Honey Dijon sharing the stage with rising locals such as Bianca Oblivion and Trax Unit. When the festival added its Arts District stage in 2025, it felt like a full-circle moment — a genuine nod to the community that’s shaped the city’s dance culture for decades.
Now, Skyline is entering a new era. Its move to Ace*Mission Studios marks more than just a venue change — it’s a return to LA’s roots. The location, set along the LA River near the Arts District, has a deep industrial character that feels tailor-made for house and techno. Once a family-run beverage warehouse, it’s now a creative hub in one of the city’s most fast-changing neighborhoods. Long before the rebrand, this part of town was a secret haven for late-night warehouse parties — the kind of spaces where music, art, and community collided long before it hit the mainstream.
For 2026, Skyline will transform the venue into a two-day celebration of sound, art, and light, featuring immersive installations, local food vendors, and four distinct stages: West Side, East Side, Arts District, and the all-new Warehouse stage. The newest addition pays homage to LA’s rave heritage, expanding the festival’s footprint to more than 10 hours of music each day and over 60 artists — Skyline’s biggest lineup yet. And for those who never want the night to end, expect official afterparties inside the Ace*Mission warehouse, announced closer to showtime.
Fans looking to elevate their experience can opt for the Stage Access Ticket, which is expanding in 2026. Perks include exclusive backstage access to three stages, private entry, premium bars, upgraded restrooms, elevated dining, and a dedicated lounge with concierge service — a fitting touch for anyone chasing both comfort and connection.
Two-day GA, VIP, and Stage Access passes drop October 17 at 12 PM PT, with early presale access kicking off at 11 AM PT for those who sign up in advance.
Skyline has always represented more than just a weekend of music — it’s a reflection of LA’s creative spirit and its endless evolution. With a new home, expanded vision, and a community that keeps pushing boundaries, Skyline 2026 is shaping up to be its most unforgettable chapter yet.
