Pavilion Festival 2026 in United Kingdom — runs May 2–3, 2026. The line-up has 62 acts across 2 days spread over 6 stages.
A two-day dance event on Scotland’s west coast that celebrates the country’s own clubbing lineage as much as it imports from elsewhere. The 2026 bill stacks Carl Cox, Sasha & John Digweed and MK at the top, but the heart of the festival is in the Scottish names that fill out the schedule, including Glasgow’s Subculture residents, Optimo, and a generation of younger producers led by Ewan McVicar. Old-school rave gets a serious airing too, with Bass Generator, Ultrasonic, 808 State’s Darren Partington and live PAs from Love Decade and Bassheads working the festival’s harder, hands-in-the-air corner. It’s the rare festival that takes both progressive house and Scottish hardcore equally seriously.
