Envision Festival unveils Phase 2 of its 2026 lineup, adding 100+ artists, teachers, and performers for February 23–March 2, 2026. The announcement brings international headliners POLO & PAN (Costa Rica debut) and DAMIAN LAZARUS, deep roots reggae from DEZARIE and bass favorites IVY LAB and MEMBA, joining a Phase 1 lineup with Envision veterans BOB MOSES, CLOZEE and DAILY BREAD.
2026 marks Envision’s 16th anniversary as a week-long gathering for shifting consciousness and inspiring hope, a space where music, movement, art, and education converge. A place to explore new ways of living in harmony with nature and community, including on-site accommodations.
Envision home is the Southern Pacific Coastal Region of Costa Rica, commonly known as Costa Ballena — where the Pacific Ocean meets the foothills of the Cordillera de Talamanca Mountains. This confluence of ocean and mountains forms part of the greater Osa region, recognised globally as one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth.
Envision’s Phase 2 additions bring thought leaders teaching permaculture and regenerative living, indigenous elders from the YAWANAWA sharing ancestral wisdom, movement facilitators, fire performers, and aerialists.
This year’s “Back to Our Roots” theme reflects our commitment to creating a gathering that honours both the land and the people who call it home. As shared in a recent Billboard feature, that means reimagining Envision to deliver a higher quality guest experience.
The world needs hope and connection now more than ever. Envision is a unique week-long educational retreat for humans seeking a more meaningful, community-driven way of living in one of the world’s most biodiverse places. In the midst of a world-class music and art experience, Envision offers endless ways to explore human potential and how to live in harmony with nature – Joshua Wendel, Envision’s Co-Founder and CEO
Guest Experience Improvements
Envision has committed to raising public health and safety standards, prioritising water stewardship, and deepening local partnerships as part of a more intimate gathering. As detailed in a recent Billboard feature, the 2026 festival introduces several key improvements:
Smaller by Design, Better by Intention – To deliver a more intimate, higher quality experience, Envision is reducing its on-site population by 2,000 people for a 5,500 guest capacity.
Water Stewardship – A new on-site water system designed by leading water specialists provides filtration, storage, and distribution for reliable, clean water access. Envision will focus on conservation in all aspects of our festival, including reducing our impact on our host community’s water supply by storing water on site in large-capacity tanks, and using waterless composting toilets.
Deepening Costa Rican Roots – Envision is hiring more local crews, artists and performers, sourcing food and beverages from regional farmers and producers, and expanding reforestation and composting programs. These efforts deepen our cultural connections and increase our economic impact in the Southern Zone.
