Terminal V has revealed the huge first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, which will take place at The Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th April. The initial lineup for the two-day event includes Detroit techno godfather Robert Hood, the UK debut of Sara Landry’s ETERNALISM show, Klangkuenstler, East End Dubs, Clara Cuve and Ben Hemsley. Tickets are set to go on sale at 9am on Tuesday 18th November, and fans can sign up for access at the Terminal V website.
The 2026 event will mark another chapter for one of Europe’s most formidable electronic music festivals, with 40,000 people expected to attend. The festival will feature five fully immersive stages and over 100 cutting-edge artists performing across the weekend. Sara Landry’s appearance is her only Scottish date for the entire year, presenting a hard techno odyssey inspired by the art of H.R. Giger, known for his work on the movie Alien.
This year’s lineup provides a razor-sharp snapshot of contemporary electronic music, featuring a collision of heavyweights, legends, and rising stars. Headliners include the influential Robert Hood, whose loopy sound helped define early minimal techno. He’ll be joined by the defining force of industrial techno, Klangkuenstler, and the breakout UK house and techno star Ben Hemsley, known for his euphoric melodies and peak-time power. Australian artist Restricted will also serve up his mix of psy, rawstyle, and hardcore.
Simon McGrath, Co-founder of Terminal V, said: “This will without doubt be our biggest line up yet. Every artist reflects the energy and evolution of Terminal V, and this April will see our most diverse edition yet. 2026 is shaping up to be our most powerful edition so far.” The festival, recently ranked in DJ Mag’s Best Festivals in the world, has grown from an underground gathering into a benchmark for large-scale electronic events, attracting a devoted international crowd.
Terminal V is known for its monumental scale and meticulous attention to detail, with each stage designed as a standalone world featuring bespoke architecture, high-impact visuals, and powerful sound systems. Other artists announced for the next evolution of the festival include Mall Grab, Anetha x DJ Gigola, Somewhen x Otta, and Paige Tomlinson, who will each bring their distinct edge.
