Dreambeach 2026: Loco Dice and Paco Osuna close the lineup

A new era on the Costa del Sol

The Dreambeach organization has made the closing of the programming for its 2026 edition official, marking a transcendental milestone in the festival's trajectory. After more than a decade consolidating its proposal in Almería, the event inaugurates an ambitious stage at the Recinto Ferial de Vélez-Málaga. During July 31st and August 1st, the new location will host thousands of attendees in a renovated space that will feature four independent stages and large-format technical infrastructure, designed to optimize the audience's acoustic and visual experience.

The weight of the underground: Loco Dice and Paco Osuna

The definitive announcement significantly reinforces the clubbing profile of the Saturday, August 1st session. The additions of Loco Dice and Paco Osuna bring an indisputable international hierarchy to the lineup, leading the most purist side of techno and tech house. Furthermore, the Spanish artist will present his acclaimed concept Nowhere by Paco Osuna, adding value to the event's curation. This second day also integrates the forcefulness of Brennan Heart, an emblematic figure of hardstyle, and the melodic sophistication of Korolova, one of the producers with the greatest projection in the melodic techno circuit.

The jump to Vélez-Málaga symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in which the festival maintains its essence, but expands its reach and experience.

Sonic diversity and national representation

The opening day on Friday, July 31st stands out for its firm commitment to national talent and the plurality of genres. DJ Pepo, a pioneer and historical figure of techno in Spain, heads a lineup that also gives a prominent space to broken beats. The bass music scene will be represented by benchmarks like Dub Elements, while the most dancefloor-oriented groove will arrive courtesy of the back-to-back format between Javi Reina and Raul Ortiz. The lineup for this first day is completed by artists such as Klofama, Prada 2000, The Brainkiller, and Destroyers.

• David Guetta: Will present his exclusive audiovisual format 'Monolith Show' as the festival's main attraction.
• Guest brands: Confirmed presence of showcases and stages curated by Blackworks, LOOP, Drum And Bass All Stars, and Ritmika.
• New talents: Incorporation of artists on the rise globally such as Oguz, Zatox, and Easttown.

Structural evolution of the festival format

This lineup closing confirms that the geographical transition of Dreambeach does not alter its eclectic identity, but rather expands it organically. The integration of styles ranging from hard dance to breakbeat, backed by the presence of top-tier international brands, underscores the festival's capacity for adaptation. With this twelfth edition, the organization seeks to redefine production standards in Southern Europe, cementing the province of Málaga as an unavoidable epicenter for the cutting-edge electronic music industry.
