Snow Machine Japan 2026 Lineup.png

Snow Machine has unveiled its huge second lineup for the 2026 edition in Hakuba, Japan, and it’s one of the biggest yet. With first release tickets now officially sold out, the alpine music festival returns from 3rd to 8th March, 2026, bringing with it five days, eight stages, and seven mountains of non-stop snow and sound. Headlining the new announcement is global EDM icon Steve Aoki, along with Sub Focus, Dimitri From Paris, and an all-star cast of international talent.

Aoki’s inclusion marks one of Snow Machine’s most ambitious bookings to date. Known for his explosive live energy and multi-platinum tracks, the GRAMMY-nominated DJ will headline the Snow Machine main arena with his high-intensity set. He’ll be joined by drum and bass legend Sub Focus—whose anthems like “Tidal Wave” and “Turn Back Time” are sure to ignite the slopes—and French house pioneer Dimitri From Paris, bringing his signature disco grooves to Japan’s frosty wonderland.

Also announced are electronic favourites Armand Van Helden, Flight Facilities (DJ Set), Gorgon City, Belters Only, Hannah Laing, Mall Grab, and Mark Blair, alongside standout underground acts Juliet Fox, Hiroko Yamamura, Victor Ruiz, and many more. Stage takeovers from Doof by Hannah Laing, Glitterbox, and Womb Tokyo will amp up the après-ski action throughout the week.
