Day Trip festival announced

Day Trip Festival will return to Long Beach on June 27 and 28, 2026, with a 50-plus-act house lineup at the Queen Mary Waterfront. (daytripfest.com) The official lineup includes Cloonee, GORDO, Odd Mob, Elderbrook, Loco Dice, Lilly Palmer and a sunset set from Purple Disco Machine. The bill also lists Green Velvet b2b Josh Baker, SIDEPIECE b2b Westend, RuPaul DJ set and Rebecca Black DJ set. (daytripfest.com) Insomniac’s ticketing page lists the event as 21-and-over with gates at 1 p.m. each day at 1126 Queens Highway in Long Beach. Tickets went on sale Friday, April 24, according to local coverage published this week. (daytrip.frontgatetickets.com) (gvwire.com) Day Trip started as an Insomniac house-music brand before expanding into a standalone festival in 2021. Insomniac says the festival has also grown a club offshoot, Night Trip, alongside the main daytime event. (insomniac.com) The 2026 booking keeps Day Trip focused on house music while widening its range inside the genre, from tech-house names like Cloonee and Josh Baker to disco-leaning Purple Disco Machine and crossover acts like Elderbrook. The official site describes the event as “House Music All Day Long” across multiple stages by the water. (daytripfest.com 1) (daytripfest.com 2) The timing also places the festival near the front of Southern California’s summer electronic calendar. Insomniac’s own event listings show Day Trip landing three weeks after Beyond Wonderland Chicago and ahead of other June and July dance dates, giving agents and touring acts a high-profile West Coast stop. (insomniac.com) (daytripfest.com) Day Trip’s recent editions have leaned on full-set uploads to extend the brand beyond the weekend itself. The festival site currently hosts archived sets from 2024 and 2025, including Chris Lorenzo, Hannah Laing, Armand Van Helden b2b Mark Knight and Matroda. (daytripfest.com) This year’s announcement keeps that formula intact: a waterfront June weekender, a tightly defined house identity and a lineup built to pull both club regulars and broader dance crowds to Long Beach.
