Skyline Festival Levels Up for 2026 With Massive Arts District Lineup and New Downtown LA Home

Skyline Festival has never tried to be the biggest event in Los Angeles. Instead, it has carved out a space that feels deliberate, grounded, and closely tied to the city’s underground. For 2026, Factory 93’s Skyline Festival returns for its fifth year with a refreshed Arts District lineup and a new home at Ace*Mission Studios, signaling growth while staying true to its warehouse roots.

From the beginning, Skyline has focused on creating space for artists who actively shape LA’s club culture, pairing global names with selectors and collectives that define the local scene. The move to Ace*Mission Studios feels like a natural next step. The industrial venue brings the festival closer to the heart of downtown and reinforces the raw, community-driven energy that has always set Skyline apart.

Arts District Stage Lineup

The Arts District stage continues to be a reflection of Skyline’s commitment to local voices and forward-thinking dance music.

Saturday features Victor Rodriguez B2B Perfect Lovers • Mez Monty • CQUESTT • Juliet Mendoza • Gay Felony • TAJ.

Sunday brings Star Eyes • DJ Warning • Mesmé • Mapamota • BB Shaine • Alex Casillas.

Additional Arts District artists joining the weekend include Stacy Christine • Marie Nyx • fun2bjane • Etari • OZA • Anastasia Giovanni • Baggi, adding even more depth to a lineup that represents the many corners of Los Angeles’ underground dance scene.

A Multi Stage Lineup Built With Intention

Beyond the Arts District stage, Skyline 2026 offers a carefully balanced multi stage experience that moves fluidly between house, techno, and experimental sounds. The East Side stage brings groove forward and high energy selections from The Blessed Madonna B2B HAAi, Chris Stussy, Dennis Cruz, DJ Gigola, I Hate Models, KI KI, and Marco Carola.

The West Side stage leans into heavier and more driving sounds with 999999999, Joseph Capriati, DJ Tennis B2B DJ Boring, VTSS, Adrián Mills B2B Cloudy, and Quest. Over on the Downtown stage, hosted by Resident Advisor, the focus shifts toward boundary pushing programming featuring Avalon Emerson, Ben UFO, Richie Hawtin, SPFDJ, Jyoty B2B Zack Fox, and MCR T.

Together, the lineup feels curated rather than crowded, offering room to explore without forcing nonstop stage hopping.

A New Home Rooted in LA’s Creative History

For 2026, Skyline moves into Ace*Mission Studios, an expansive industrial space along the LA River near the Arts District. The venue carries decades of local history and has recently been reimagined as a creative campus, making it a fitting backdrop for a festival that has always leaned into culture over spectacle.

Long before its transformation, the surrounding warehouses played a role in Los Angeles’ underground music movement. Hosting Skyline here feels less like a relocation and more like a homecoming, grounding the festival in a space that reflects its identity.

Tickets and What to Expect

Two day and single day GA passes are available now, with Saturday GA already sold out. The Stage Access Ticket returns for 2026 with expanded amenities, including on stage access to select stages, a private entrance, premium bar options, upgraded restrooms, elevated food offerings, and a dedicated concierge experience.

Skyline Festival is a 21 plus event.

As Factory 93 celebrates five years of Skyline, the 2026 edition feels like a moment of refinement rather than reinvention. With a new venue, a deeply local Arts District lineup, and a continued focus on underground culture, Skyline Festival remains one of the most intentional electronic music experiences in Los Angeles.
