UNUM Festival reveals Phase 2 line-up for 2026

UNUM Festival has added a fresh wave of names to its 2026 bill, with Gerd Janson, Arapu, Franco Cinelli, Cinthie, Doudou MD, Cap, Mateo Dufour and more confirmed for next summer’s edition in Shëngjin.

Returning for its seventh year from  five days and five nights in Albania’s Adriatic corner, UNUM has steadily grown from word-of-mouth favourite into a staple of the European underground circuit. The new Phase 2 drop follows the festival’s recent win at the DJ Awards, where it picked up Best Global Festival 2025.

Among the additions, Running Back boss Gerd Janson brings his genre-fluid house approach, while Romanian minimal mainstay Arapu joins Argentinian selector Franco Cinelli. Berlin house mainstay Cinthie is also locked, alongside DJ Tennis, Prospa, Doudou MD and Mateo Dufour, with more special guests still to come in Phase 3.

They slot into a heavyweight programme already featuring Ricardo Villalobos, Ben Klock, Raresh, Craig Richards, East End Dubs and Dyed Soundorom, alongside scene-shaping selectors including Margaret Dygas, Dan Ghenacia and Priku.

As ever, UNUM’s identity is tied as much to its setting as its line-up. The festival runs 24/7 across three core stages set between pine forest, beach and mountain. The Pine Stage acts as the non-stop engine beneath the trees, the Beach Stage handles daytime sessions by the water, and the Main Stage carries the heavier night-time moments.

New for 2026 is a panoramic afterparty concept overlooking the Adriatic. Limited to 500 people and set within a hilltop structure above Shëngjin, the sunrise session is being positioned as one of the edition’s defining experiences.

Early Bird and Loyalty tickets have already sold out following record demand. General tickets start from €95, with five-day packages including accommodation and travel available from under €300.

Phase 3 is still to come, but UNUM 2026 is already shaping up to be its most expansive outing yet.
