YOON Festival Reveals Phase One Lineup for 2026 Return

2 weeks ago 8

YOON Festival’s 2026 phase one lineup includes Brett Johnson, Dormald, Dylan Payne, Mungo Sound Machine, Halo Varga, Sinéad, Janeret, and many more.

YOON Festival and it’s surrounding community have helped make it a staple of Southern California’s underground dance music scene. After taking 2025 off, the boutique camping event returns from June 19–22 to a secluded mountain site near the town of Mountain Center, just two hours from both Los Angeles and San Diego.

Leading the first phase of the 2026 lineup are Chicago house icon Brett Johnson, Italian duo Dormald, SoCal underground legend Dylan Payne, and the groove-driven duo Mungo Sound Machine. Joining them are Halo Varga, Janeret, Mutual Beneficiaries, Sinéad, Sydka, and many others.

With the new location for this year’s festival, YOON is also adding a new area. The Low Voltage Lounge will feature ambient, downtempo, and live performances that let attendees comfortably chill out. Meanwhile, YOON is still offering the workshops, artist talks, comedy shows, wellness sessions, and other interactive experiences that festival-goers have come to expect.

After taking a year off, a lot has changed within our small but growing scene — but one thing hasn’t: people’s love for this community. I wasn’t sure what it would feel like bringing the festival back, or if people had moved on, but the response has shown me that if anything, people need this now more than ever. What my friends and I have built together has created something lasting — something that continues to bring people together in a real way. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to curate and share this experience, and it truly feels like this year will be a special chapter in the YOON story.

There looks to be so much in store for this unique and intimate festival. Many artists are flying in to perform from overseas, including a to-be-announced act making their US debut. Over 50 artists are confirmed to be performing over four days — 50% of whom are performing at YOON for the first time — and more names will be announced in phase two. The gathering looks to be nothing but a great time.

Tickets for YOON Festival are available now on both Resident Advisor and Shotgun. Get yours now, because the festival is limited to only 500 people. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
