John Summit has revealed the lineup for his Experts Only Festival, taking place at New York’s Randall’s Island on September 19-20.
The electronic musician both curated the lineup and will perform at the event, which was first held last year. This year’s slate of performers includes Summit, LYNY, Prospa, Rohaan, SUBJOHNICS (Subtronics + John Summit b2b), Taiki Nulight, Devault, Dreya V, OMRI., Partiboi69, Jackie Hollander, Airrica, Gabss, MADI, Soraya and Korolova, with more to be announced at a later date.
Experts Only Festival, produced in partnership with Medium Rare, Relentless Beats and EMW, drew more than 50,000 fans in 2025 and featured two headlining performances from Summit in addition to sets from Kaskade b2b Cassian, LP Giobbi, DJ Seinfeld, Pete Tong, Green Velvet b2b Layton Giordani, Kasablanca and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED).
Experts Only Festival is named after Summit’s label Experts Only. He relaunched the imprint under a new name in 2023, sharing his mission statement and vision for it on social media. “We’re taking what we learned over the past year and taking things to new heights,” he wrote. “Music & events without limits and a home for rising talent across the world; the next chapter begins now.”
The lineup for the 2026 Experts Only Festival comes in anticipation of Summit’s new album “CTRL ESCAPE,” releasing on April 15 via Experts Only/Darkroom Records. Just this past weekend, Summit performed at Ultra Music Festival in Miami ahead of upcoming festival performances at EDC Vegas and Ultra South Africa. He will also make his Ibiza residency debut later this year.
Artist and festival pre-sale for this year’s event start at 10 a.m. ET on April 3. General onsale begins at 12 p.m. ET the same day.
