Just when you thought the California desert couldn’t get any more legendary, Goldenvoice has gone and raised the bar. Following in the footsteps of iconic one-off events like Desert Trip and Power Trip, a new contender has emerged to claim the electronic throne: Headtrip Indio 2026.
Forget everything you know about sprawling, multi-stage festivals where you spend half your day hiking between sets. Headtrip is doing things differently. Taking over the hallowed Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, from 10th – 11th October 2026, this is a focused, high-octane celebration of dance music culture.

ONE STAGE, ZERO CONFLICTS
The most “viral-worthy” part of the Headtrip announcement? The single-stage concept. There are no overlapping sets and no “clash-finders” needed. Every single person in attendance will experience the same journey at the same time. It’s a bold move that prioritises quality over quantity, ensuring the atmosphere remains electric from the first beat to the final drop.
A LINEUP FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS
The curators haven’t held back. The Headtrip Indio lineup is a meticulously crafted “who’s who” of electronic titans.
• Saturday 10th October: The weekend kicks off with a massive headline slot from CALVIN HARRIS. But before he takes the stage, we’re treated to a rare Under Construction set from FISHER B2B CHRIS LAKE. Add in a heavy-hitting B2B from PEGGY GOU and FOUR TET, plus SETH TROXLER B2B BEN STERLING and you have a Saturday that’s already worth the flight.
• Sunday 11th October: The energy shifts as SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA and the legendary SKRILLEX take control. Fans can also expect a masterclass in house and techno from DOM DOLLA B2B KETTAMA, alongside sets from THE BLESSED MADONNA and the crate-digging king, DJ HARVEY.
THE SUNFLOWER SOUND SYSTEM
It isn’t just about the main stage, though. Headtrip will also host the US debut of Floating Points’ Sunflower Sound System. This immersive audio installation, housed in a specially designed dome is an audiophile’s dream. Decorated with mycelium panels and original artwork, it offers a sanctuary of high-fidelity sound away from the main arena, with Floating Points himself hosting across the full weekend.
Whether you’re a seasoned raver or just looking for the ultimate desert getaway, Headtrip Indio is shaping up to be the electronic event of the decade. Pack your bags, book your flights, and prepare for a weekend that will be talked about for years to come.
