Insomniac has announced the inaugural edition of Wasteland Orlando, set to take over the Central Florida Fairgrounds across two massive nights on Friday, 5th February and Saturday, 6th February, 2027. The debut marks the first time the celebrated Southern California hard dance festival has expanded to the East Coast, bringing its trademark high-BPM energy to a brand new audience in Central Florida.

The two-day event will feature three newly designed stages and a lineup of more than 40 artists spanning hardstyle, hard techno, and hardcore. Stage takeovers from Insomniac's own Basscon and Mutate brands will anchor the event, joined by an exclusive stage hosted and produced by acclaimed German promoter Unreal Germany, adding a distinctly international flavour to the debut edition.

Tickets are set to go on sale in two waves on Thursday, 13th August, 2026, with a presale opening at 11:30 AM ET followed by the general on-sale at 12 PM ET. Two-day General Admission and VIP passes will both be available, giving fans across the country the chance to lock in their spot at what promises to be a landmark moment for the global hard dance community.

HSU has officially announced the first act for EPIK 2026, and it is an enormous one. Project One, the iconic hard dance collaboration between Wildstylez and Headhunterz, has been confirmed for the event, marking the duo's long-awaited Australian debut. For fans who have waited years to see this pairing perform on home soil, the announcement is nothing short of a milestone moment for the local hard dance community.

EPIK 2026 takes place on Saturday, 12th December, 2026 at Sydney Showground, running from 4:00pm through to midnight. HSU has billed the event as a world premiere production, promising a level of visual spectacle and stage design that surpasses anything previously staged in Southern Hemisphere hard dance history. Given EPIK's established reputation as the most ambitious production of the annual calendar, expectations are already sky-high.

Tickets are tiered across several release stages, beginning with an HSU Presale at $189.00 plus booking fee, available from 12:00pm on Thursday, 13th August, 2026. General public sales open the following day at 12:00pm on Friday, 14th August, 2026.

With Project One confirmed as the opening lineup announcement, anticipation for what else HSU has in store for EPIK 2026 is already building rapidly across the global hard dance scene.

One of electronic music's most celebrated institutions is heading to the West Coast for the very first time. Insomniac and Time Warp have officially announced Time Warp Los Angeles, a debut two-day event scheduled for Friday, 27th November and Saturday, 28th November, 2026. The inaugural edition will take place at Ace*Mission Studios in Los Angeles, marking the very first activation of the venue's Ace Warehouses as an event space, bringing the brand's signature underground energy to a raw, industrial setting purpose-built for the experience.

Across both days, three distinct stages will host continuous music from 2pm to 2am, delivering a total of 24 hours of cutting-edge techno and electronic music over the weekend. The Ace Warehouses have remained untouched as an event destination until now, and Time Warp LA will transform this blank canvas into something entirely its own. The Los Angeles edition follows earlier this year's Time Warp Miami at Factory Town, continuing the brand's growing international footprint beyond its Mannheim, Germany origins dating back to 1994.

Tickets are moving quickly into position ahead of the on-sale. Two-day General Admission and Stage Access passes will be available via presale on Friday, 14th August, 2026 at 12pm PT, with general tickets following at 1pm PT. Fans can register for presale access through Insomniac's dedicated sign-up portal, with purchases processed through Front Gate Tickets.

With more than three decades of history behind it, Time Warp has built its reputation on immersive production, state-of-the-art sound systems, and a relentless commitment to both legendary and emerging artists. Its signature floor designs and high-calibre lineups have made it a cultural institution across cities including New York, São Paulo and Madrid. Los Angeles now joins that global circuit, and if the brand's track record is anything to go by, the debut edition promises to be an unmissable moment for the Southern California dance music community.
