DJ Snake to headline the first edition of the 12:XII festival in Marbella

Joezi, Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and many more will also perform at this open-air venue in Marbella.

The new 12:XII festival will celebrate its debut in Marbella next Friday, August 21, 2026, with a concept inspired by the motto "Beyond Time". The first edition of this exclusive one-day luxury event will be headlined by French superstar DJ Snake, accompanied by Joezi, Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and many more artists.

A premium experience on the Costa del Sol

Conceived for those seeking a premium experience, 12:XII fuses music, high-level production, and the unmistakable Marbella lifestyle. Located between the Mediterranean coast and the Sierra Blanca, Marbella has been one of the favorite destinations for European luxury tourism for decades thanks to its legendary beach clubs, its exquisite gastronomic offer, and its top-tier hotels.

The quality of the light, the warmth of the climate, and the intense blue of the sea create an atmosphere difficult to find anywhere else. Its old town, with narrow streets, whitewashed facades, and squares adorned with bougainvillea, coexists with a sophisticated marina where superyachts, luxury boutiques, rooftops, and some of the best restaurants in southern Spain make up an authentic leisure paradise.

Cutting-edge production and a stellar lineup

The festival will take place in an open-air venue that will be completely transformed with gigantic LED screens, CO2 cannons, dynamic structures, a top-tier sound system, and an exclusive VIP area and elevated backstage, all surrounded by palm trees, under the Marbella sun and the starry sky of the Costa del Sol.

Leading the lineup will be DJ Snake, one of the most successful electronic artists of his generation. The French producer has accumulated billions of streams thanks to global hits like "Turn Down For What", "Lean On", "Taki Taki" and "Let Me Love You", in addition to having headlined some of the most important festivals and venues in the world.

Performing alongside him will be Joezi, whose emotional fusion of Afro House and melodic electronica has made him one of the most prominent artists in the genre. The lineup is completed by Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and many more names to be announced soon.

The origin of a new concept

The festival's name refers to the connection born in December 2012, uniting the experience of its creators in electronic music, luxury hospitality, and artistic direction to bring a new annual event to life in Marbella.

Great brands are built around an idea, not an event. 12:XII was born from the conviction that time is the greatest luxury and that an extraordinary night can endure long after the moment it is lived. DJ Snake was the natural choice to inaugurate this story because true icons do not just perform: they define generations.

— Festival founder

With this first edition, 12:XII aspires to become one of the great events of the Marbella summer, bringing together some of the greatest talents in international electronic music in one of the most exclusive lifestyle destinations in the Mediterranean.
