Splash House 2026 is back for another unforgettable summer splash, unveiling the full artist lineup for its back-to-back, dual weekend editions returning to Palm Springs on August 7-9 and August 14-16, 2026.
Seamlessly blending underground credibility with mainstream energy, all set against the sun-drenched backdrop of the California desert. The way we like to explain Splash House for someone who’s never been: imagine an intimate Coachella experience, mixed with a Las Vegas pool party, and access to 3 stages at 3 boutique hotels, with every room in the hotels full of fun-loving, disco dancing, festival friends!
By day, guests dance poolside at the festival’s trio of boutique hotels—The Renaissance, Saguaro, and The Hilton (added 2026 in lieu of the Riviera)—surrounded by the stunning San Jacinto Mountains, where the sun sets beautifully behind, illuminating the sky with shades of blue, pink, and purple. Between sets, the vibe flows through colorful experiences like drag brunches, curated thrifting, and pool party fun. As the desert sun fades, the party transitions to the legendary Palm Springs Air Museum, where vintage planes loom overhead, and world-class DJs ignite open-air hangars to keep the party going!
In the past, Splash House has booked some of the world’s best house DJ’s, but this year’s lineup seems to be more diverse, with some UK garage, dubstep, drum and bass, and wobble music to cater to a much larger crowd. Here’s what to expect –
Splash House 2026 Weekend One: August 7th-9th
MUST SEE SETS
Costa is an up-and-coming dubstep artist who’s been blowing up since his Club Studio Time set and appearance at Mutiny. At only 22 years old, with support from large artists like Excision, Subtronics, Levity, and Zeds Dead. He makes sure to pay homage to old school dubstep, while keeping the crowd on their toes with crazy doubles.
HNTR has been on a hot streak with bookings this year, popping up on a ton of festival lineups across the US and Canada. HNTR has an upbeat techhouse sound that can be described as lively and energetic. Vibes similar to Eli Brown, Layton Giardani, and Mau P.
Marco Strous is also an in-demand producer. Beyond his own releases, he has contributed production and sound design that can be groovy, rolling tech house, funky, danceable basslines with hip-hop and Latin vocal samples.
Something interesting about Splash House this year is they added some heavier bass, dubstep, and riddim. Alleycvt is taking over the dubstep scene right now; she’s been on major lineups these last two years, and of the sets we’ve seen from her, she never disappoints! Especially when she uses her own vocals, her passion for music is just as obvious as her energy on stage.
Instead of performing with guitars, drums, and vocals, Mark Foster and Isom Innis perform as DJs under the Foster The People (DJ Set) format, playing a mix of house, UK garage, indie dance, disco, and electronic edits. They typically remix a few Foster the People songs into club versions rather than playing a full live catalog.
Splash House 2026 Weekend Two: August 14th-16th
MUST SEE SETS
Torren Foot is an Australian house and tech house DJ/producer from Melbourne. He’s one of Australia’s biggest electronic exports and is known for high-energy, bass-driven club records with funky grooves and festival-ready drops.
Know Good is a U.S. electronic duo made up of cousins Tanner and Sylas Morgan. Rather than being traditional DJs, they blend bass music with live instrumentation, incorporating drums, guitar, violin, vocals, and rap into their performances.
OMNOM… no need to say more. This is a no-brainer. MUST-see set.
For all my bassheads, WHETHAN has been holding it down for bassheads for years. Insane hip-hop mixes, heavy wobbles, strikingly robust sound engineering from Whethan that would put him as one of the greats in the bass scene.
TIGA is a legend in our eyes. He’s been a very adventurous yet strategic music producer for decades and always honors traditional techno from the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s through his sets. Check out his EDC 2026 set, one of his best.
PROSPA SUMMER. This will be the most crowded set the entire weekend, no doubt. Prospa has been taking over the world by storm. Iconic b2b sets with Cloonee, Kettama, and Josh Baker have only set the fire ablaze. Be prepared to show up early to secure a good spot on the dance floor.
Splash House Up and Coming DJ’s –
Splash House holds an annual DJ opening set competition where upcoming artists submit mixes for a chance to perform. The voting period for the 2026 opener contest ran from July 10 through July 20, 2026, allowing fans to vote for their favorite submissions online and via social media engagement. Anyone who excels in this competition will be considered for opening set times at all 3 hotel stages, both weekends! Keep an eye out for some names you might not have heard of; they could be the next big thing!
Splash House After Hours at the Palm Springs Air Museum
The Splash House After Hours parties at the Palm Springs Air Museum are one of the things that makes Splash House unique. Instead of moving to a nightclub, the festival transforms the museum’s outdoor aircraft tarmac into a massive open-air venue with vintage planes surrounding the stage and the airport runway in the background.
The lineup hasn’t been fully released yet, but be prepared to keep the good vibes going through the night. What we do know is Biscuits, Ship Wreck, and SLAMM for W1, and Gorgon City, Jackie Hollander, SCRIPT, and TOOBEHONEST for W2.
What To Wear to Splash House: Recommendations and Suggestions
Splash House is the epitome of poolside party meets music festival—so your outfit should be equal parts fun, cool, and ready for the desert heat.
Here’s a breakdown to help you slay each day and night while staying comfortable:
What To Wear To The Pools –
Vibe: Tropical rave, Y2K nostalgia, retro resort-core, funky streetwear.
For Women –
Swimsuit: Statement bikini or one-piece (cutouts, metallics, neon, mesh details). Cover-up, mesh skirt, crochet dress, oversized button-up, or sheer pants. Footwear: platform sandals, cute slides.
For Men –
Swim trunks: Bold prints, 5-inch inseams are popular.
Top: open shirt (Hawaiian, mesh, satin), tank top, or none.
Footwear: Slides or sporty sandals with good grip.
To The After Hours (Palm Springs Air Museum)
Vibe: Desert rave chic, elevated streetwear, stylish but dance-friendly.
For Everyone – lightweight layers; it can cool off at night—bring a light jacket or mesh hoodie. Breathable outfits, think two-piece sets, cargo pants + crop tops, mesh bodysuits, or jersey-style fits. Comfortable shoes, closed-toe sneakers or boots you can dance in all night.
Pro Tips:
Hydration pack, collapsible water bottle, and ice packs = lifesavers. Make sure to pick up some electrolyte packets for the weekend, one every morning and halfway through the day to replenish.
Hats, Sunscreen, and skin protection: The Palm Sorings heat and UV’s do not play. Apply frequently, especially during pool hours. Bring a cooling towel or mini fan for peak heat times, and after hours can get crowded on the dance floor, so bring extra fans or a portable charger for your electric fans.
Coordinate with your crew for collective group looks or themes (animal print, disco, Y2K, tropical vibes). This is a recurring vibe that groups bring to festivals in general and always makes for great photos to look back on memories.
Stay, Play, & Experience the Desert
Splash House offers exclusive hotel packages that keep the experience seamless and immersive. Stay at the festival’s core properties—the Renaissance, Saguaro, and, currently under construction, the Riviera is typically the third hotel, but The Hilton will be taking place as the third official stage and hotel, all accessible with one single wristband. Packages include a 3-night stay, festival wristbands, and shuttle service between venues—ensuring effortless exploration of all that Splash House has to offer. There are also some official off-site hotels listed: The Dunes, Hyatt, and Hotel Zoso.
Based on my experience from the last few years, the shuttles were a great way to get from one hotel to another; the transportation team was on top of it, they were moving quickly and conveniently, but if you miss one or prefer a more private ride, Ubers and Lyfts are available 24 hours, and surprisingly fairly priced for a festival weekend!
