Now that summer is finally underway, it’s time to activate the official start to Euro summer. Turin, Italy’s Kappa FuturFestival returns this year from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5. And trust, they did their big one with this year’s lineup. Household names dominate the festival — Disclosure, Four Tet, and Peggy Gou — and there are house and techno OGs that you’d be a fool to skip: Armin van Buuren and Skrillex’s b2b appearance must be crossed off my EDM bucket list.
The FADER will be heading to the festival to bask in the sun and music. Here are the established and emerging artists we’re most excited to see at Kappa FuturFestival 2026.
Friday, July 3
Armin van Buuren
In 2012, The FADER dubbed Armin van Buuren one of the “biggest names in EDM.” With more than two decades of experience under his belt, the Grammy-nominated DJ is no stranger to invigorating a crowd with upbeat, trance-like techno sets. We’re beyond excited to experience the legend himself IRL.
Disclosure
Since releasing their breakout album Settle in 2013, Disclosure, the “kings of the dancefloor,” have become synonymous with EDM. Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence are behind the UK garage meets funky house magic that helped shape the modern underground scene.
Mochakk
In 2022, the DJ-slash-producer initially gained traction on TikTok. He’s since catapulted to otherworldly acclaim, including a slot at the iconic DC-10 nightclub. The Brazilian performer is known for his refreshingly diverse music influences spanning groove, funk, dance, and house.
Serafina b2b FUMI
Hamburg-based DJ Serafina is slated to hit the FuturFestival stage with beats that swing from thumping techno to melodic rhythms. She’s paired up with Berlin-based Japanese DJ fumi, an underground selector who keeps her sets heavy and hypnotic.
Saturday, July 4
Anthea
Groovy, techno funk runs through Anthea’s veins. Having DJ’ed for a decade, the London-born, Berlin-based vinyl spinner is a well-established force in the global club scene.
Four Tet b2b Skrillex
Keiran Hebden, a.k.a Four Tet, is known for marrying glitchy garage and house beats with folk and jazz, among other quirky elements. This year, he’s teaming with none other than Skrillex for what’s sure to be a transcendental performance.
Mala
South London’s Mala is one of the most influential figures in U.K. bass music and dubstep. His albums Mala In Cuba (2012) and Mirrors (2016) are emblematic of his commitment to turning music into an experiment.
Sunday, July 5
Cloudy
Cloudy is just getting started. With only a single YouTube video and one five-minute track, the elusive DJ keeps her beats bouncy without sacrificing schranz techno’s quintessential thump.
KI/KI
Amsterdam’s KI/KI has been at the forefront of the new-age rave resurgence. She’s been holding it down at renowned venues including Berghain and Boiler Room with a mix of trance and acid house.
Mia Koden
South London’s Mia Koden, formerly one-half of Sicaria Sound, is a rising force in the underground electronic scene. Her multicultural upbringing inspires her palette, blending U.K. bass and 2-step with rock and reggae.
Peggy Gou
Peggy Gou needs no introduction: her songs are so viral, even Drake and Sexyy Red had to put their own spin on it. To say we’re stoked to witness Gou in the flesh would be an understatement.
