With the first release officially sold out, Snow Machine’s 2026 Japan line-up has officially hit new peaks, adding a stack of snow-stopping acts to the festival of the season! Announcing one of their biggest headliners to date, GRAMMY-nominated DJ visionary STEVE AOKI will be bringing his world-famous set to the slopes of Hakuba along with international heavyweights SUB FOCUS and DIMITRI FROM PARIS plus loads more!
Counting nearly 3 billion music streams to his name, GRAMMY-Award nominated music producer STEVE AOKI will be bringing his icon-status set to the Snow Machine arena. Described by Billboard as “One of the most in-demand entertainers in the world”, Aoki has performed and headlined almost every distinguished festival. Globally recognised for his ultra-high energy shows and signature cult-listening tracks, Aoki has collaborated with an impressive list of acclaimed artists including BTS, Maluma, Linkin Park, blink-182, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Uzi Vert, 2 Chainz and Daddy Yankee. Steve’s chart-topping releases have seen him earn 3x Platinum singles, 6x Gold singles and over ten Top 10 radio records that continue to define the sound of dancefloors all across the world.
Renowned UK Drum & Bass pioneer SUB FOCUS will be delivering a hype-worthy set of his trailblazing mixes. From headlining major festivals around the world to multiple chart-topping smash hits, Sub Focus’ innovative approach to electronica is unmatched. His remixing catalogue has seen him work with names like Calvin Harris, Rusko, Empire of the Sun and D.O.D along with collaborations with Wilkinson, Rudimental and Chase & Status. Revered for his bass-worthy tracks like “Tidal Wave” featuring Alpines, “Rock It” and “Turn Back Time”, Sub Focus will have Snow Machiners in total euphoria.
Also joining the star-studded line up is globally acclaimed French DJ and producer DIMITRI FROM PARIS. Renowned for his spin on disco-infused house, his signature tracks like “Sacrebleu“ and “Une Very Stylish Fille” along with iconic remixes “Travelling Without Moving” with Jamiroquai and “Nothing Really Matters” with Madonna are world-wide festival favourites.
Belgium electronica music producer ODYMEL is turning it up with his Eurodance and house mixes while UK-based AK Sports will be spinning her signature high-energy techno along with classic ride or die Chicago house DJ HIROKO YAMAMURA.
