The global electronic music community has been called to action as voting for DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 Festivals officially opens for 2026. This poll serves as the definitive benchmark for the world’s most impactful live music experiences, offering fans the opportunity to elevate their favorite events into the prestigious top 10. Voting commenced today and is scheduled to conclude on June 17th.
The results of this year’s poll will be unveiled on July 1st through a comprehensive countdown across DJ Mag’s various social media platforms. Now in its sixth year, the Top 100 Festivals list is curated entirely by the global audience, reflecting the shifting landscape of the international festival circuit.
In the previous edition, Tomorrowland in Belgium secured the top spot once again. However, industry observers are keen to see if the festival can maintain its dominance following the mainstage fire incident that occurred last year. Competition remains fierce at the top of the rankings; Ultra Miami followed closely at #2, with Romania’s Untold Festival taking the #3 position. Rounding out the top five were EDC Las Vegas and the United Kingdom’s legendary Glastonbury.
Music festivals represent a unique cultural intersection, fostering a shared passion for dance music that transcends borders. These events provide a vital escape, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in the present moment and celebrate collective artistry. The reach of the poll is truly international, with votes historically pouring in from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa.
