Seven Stars announces multiple enhancements ahead of 2026 festival

September 28, 2026

Seven Stars is back for another exciting year with a multitude of festival upgrades.

Last year, GRiZ debuted his very own festival, Seven Stars, in the majestic hills of Arrington, Virginia. His inaugural event sold out almost instantly, and rightfully so, as the hype surrounding the festival was so real. Year one saw a massive amount of success, so it only makes sense that year two will be even better. Recently announced enhancements were designed with fans in mind.

GRiZ and his team took time to review fan feedback, and their announcement shows their dedication to running things smoothly behind the scenes. The festival is set for expansion this year, including the addition of a brand-new campground. This new campground, a.k.a. The Outerspace Area, is the biggest change for year two. This space will be just outside of last year’s campground, Innerspace, yet much larger in size.

The Outerspace Area will feature workshops, arts, crafts, and beyond. Expect to find yoga classes, art installations, tie-dyeing, meditation, and more in this area. It’s a great place to connect with others, try something new, get a workout in, and buy merch. It will also incorporate the main merch tent and the brand-new satellite stage. The satellite stage will host the late-night after-party sets, making it an essential part of this year’s festival.

The merch store and the General Store have been separated into two locations, so expect more options at both, with shorter lines. It’s a win-win situation. Other improvements include the expansion of Mr. B’s Forest, now equipped with even more lasers, lighting, and seating. This is a great place to wander off on a side quest, with new adventures in store for this year.

Upgrades to ADA access have also been made, creating a more inclusive layout with improved viewing areas and more transportation options (less wait time). A full accessibility guide will be shared, but guests can expect additional bathrooms, showers, medical experts on site, and water stations. These changes put fans first, creating more fun and added safety measures. Whether it’s your first year attending or you’re back for year two, expect Seven Stars to be better than ever.
