ILLENIUM confirms first-ever Subtronics b2b for Ember Shores 2026 lineup reveal

ILLENIUM has unveiled a stacked 2026 Ember Shores lineup featuring the long-awaited first-ever official b2b with Subtronics.

ILLENIUM has officially dropped the lineup for the fifth edition of Ember Shores, and there’s one surprise fans have been asking for forever. The all-inclusive destination festival heads back to the Barceló Riviera Maya Resort in Mexico from November 20-22, and it’s bringing the first-ever official ILLENIUM b2b Subtronics set.

The back-to-back is easily the biggest moment of the lineup reveal and marks the first time the two bass music stars will perform an official set together. It’s been one of the most requested collaborations in the scene, making Ember Shores the only place fans can catch the debut.

Coming off the release of his album ‘ODYSSEY’, ILLENIUM has put together one of the biggest Ember Shores lineups yet. The festival continues to spotlight the artists who have been part of his career while also bringing in fresh talent that’s making waves across electronic music.

Returning favorites include Adventure Club, Dab The Sky, Grabbitz, Hoang, Nurko, Sabai, Sullivan King, and William Black. They’ll be joined by Steve Aoki, Dillon Francis, ÆON:MODE, Ian Asher, Lost Kings, Level Up, Ray Volpe, Ship Wrek, Viperactive, and plenty of other names covering melodic bass, dubstep, drum & bass, house, and more.

Ember Shores isn’t just about the music either. Every package includes a stay at the all-inclusive Barceló Riviera Maya Resort, unlimited food and drinks, access to every set all weekend, and round-trip transportation from Cancún International Airport, making it a stress-free festival getaway.

This year also comes with a few upgrades, including better food options and hotel rooms that are closer to the festival grounds. Between the stacked lineup, beach setting, and activities like snorkeling and catamaran trips, Ember Shores is shaping up to be one of the biggest destination festivals of 2026.

Hey everyone, I’m Neil! I first joined the dance community back in 2019 when my friend dragged me to Moonrise, my first-ever music festival, and I became hooked ever since. I like to dabble in most genres with my favorites being tech house and melodic techno. When it comes to studio output, Camelphat is part of my daily listening rotation and for a live performance, I’ll never miss a Solomun set. You can likely catch me on the dance floor somewhere in Brooklyn!
