Tomorrowland Winter 2026 is officially set to return to the French Alps, and for fans who live and breathe the sound and spirit of Tomorrowland, this year’s edition is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious winter productions the festival has ever delivered.
From March 21 through March 28, 2026, Alpe d’Huez once again becomes a high-altitude playground for electronic music culture, alpine adventure, and immersive stage design. Now entering its sixth edition, Tomorrowland Winter continues to redefine what a destination festival can be—merging world-class performances, mountain sports, and creative experiences into a single, fully curated week.
For listeners who follow Tomorrowland Live—where every track comes directly from real Tomorrowland festival performances across past and present editions—this is one of the most anticipated weeks on the global festival calendar. Every moment on these mountain stages becomes part of the evolving Tomorrowland sound archive that fans replay and rediscover all year long.
This year’s festival welcomes more than 100 international artists and introduces two major production milestones: a completely new MainStage design and the French debut of the Orbyz stage, a concept platform inspired by Tomorrowland’s flagship Belgian editions.
A Lineup Built for Every Corner of Electronic Music
Tomorrowland Winter 2026 delivers one of the most stylistically diverse winter lineups the brand has assembled so far. The headlining roster spans big-room, melodic techno, house, bass, and progressive sounds, offering something for every generation of Tomorrowland fans.
This year’s top names include Steve Aoki, Charlotte de Witte, Steve Angello, Lost Frequencies, Dimitri Vegas, Alok, Netsky, Agents of Time, Mind Against and MORTEN. Each of these artists represents a different pillar of modern electronic culture, creating a lineup that feels both globally relevant and deeply connected to Tomorrowland’s musical heritage.
One of the most talked-about moments of the week will be a special collaborative back-to-back set from Afrojack and R3HAB, bringing two global festival heavyweights together in a rare shared performance. The festival also marks a major milestone for Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak label, celebrating its 30th anniversary with a dedicated showcase that highlights the influence the imprint has had on the global dance music ecosystem.
Beyond the headliners, the depth of the supporting lineup reinforces Tomorrowland Winter’s reputation for forward-thinking curation. Artists such as Nina Kraviz, NERVO, HI-LO, ARTBAT, Kobosil, Miss Monique, Oliver Heldens, Sam Feldt and Vintage Culture ensure that the programming remains just as compelling during daytime mountain sets as it is during the nighttime mainstage spectacles.
Stages Designed for the Mountains
Tomorrowland Winter’s production design is purpose-built for the alpine environment, and 2026 introduces one of its most visually striking concepts to date.
The new Orbyz stage sits at approximately 2,100 meters above sea level and brings a design language inspired by Tomorrowland’s Belgian flagship stages directly into the French Alps for the first time. Set against snow-covered peaks and open skies, Orbyz becomes a focal point for fans seeking both high-energy performances and cinematic scenery.
The brand-new MainStage makes its debut on Tuesday, March 24, serving as the centerpiece of the second half of the festival week. This is where Tomorrowland’s biggest artists will deliver their most theatrical performances, combining large-scale visuals, lighting design and immersive storytelling that has become synonymous with the brand.
The CORE stage also returns as one of the most atmospheric areas of the festival. Known for its deep, immersive production and artist-focused environment, CORE will host performances such as Oscar and the Wolf (After Hours) and Kneiz, offering a contrasting yet equally powerful musical journey for fans drawn to deeper and more experimental sounds.
Ticket Options and Festival Access
While many packages for Tomorrowland Winter 2026 have already sold out, a limited number of festival passes and day tickets remain available through official channels.
The full 7-day festival pass is priced at approximately €710 and includes lift and ski access for the entire week. A 4-day festival pass, covering March 24 through March 27, is available at around €540. For visitors attending on a single day, passes begin at approximately €125 during the opening days when the MainStage is not yet active, and rise to about €185 once the MainStage opens later in the week.
A new pre-festival experience has also been introduced for 2026. Tomorrowland now offers a three-day Discover Europe getaway in Paris prior to the festival, allowing guests to combine cultural travel with their journey to the mountains.
A Complete Alpine Lifestyle Experience
Tomorrowland Winter is not only about stages and sets. The festival is built as a full lifestyle experience that blends music with adventure, creativity and wellness—making Alpe d’Huez an interactive festival resort throughout the week.
For thrill-seekers, tandem paragliding flights allow guests to soar above the peaks alongside professional instructors, delivering panoramic views of the surrounding Alpine landscape. Dog sledding experiences offer a quieter, more romantic way to explore the snow-covered terrain, guided by teams of huskies through forested trails.
The Alpine Coaster adds a high-speed dimension to the festival week, featuring a one-kilometer sledge-on-rails track filled with twists, tunnels and rapid descents. Snowmobile tours allow guests to venture deeper into the mountain terrain, while the Snake Gliss group sled activity turns downhill rides into a shared, adrenaline-fueled experience for friends and festival crews.
Fat e-biking brings a more unconventional way to explore the resort, using oversized electric mountain bikes designed specifically for snowy trails and winter conditions.
Wellness, Creativity and Personal Connection
Tomorrowland Winter places a strong emphasis on balance—offering creative and wellness programming alongside its high-energy nightlife.
Outdoor mountain yoga sessions take place at elevations reaching up to 2,700 meters, combining Vinyasa and snow yoga practices with sweeping views across the Alps. These sessions create moments of calm and reflection during an otherwise fast-paced festival schedule.
For fans interested in stepping behind the decks, the Start to DJ workshop introduces beginners to the fundamentals of mixing, transitions and sound effects during a guided two-hour session led by industry professionals.
Many hotels across the resort also participate in the wellness experience, offering spa services such as saunas, hot tubs and alpine therapy massages designed specifically for recovery after long days on the slopes and late nights on the dancefloor.
Dining, Sightseeing and High-Altitude Exploration
Beyond music and adventure, Tomorrowland Winter transforms Alpe d’Huez into a curated sightseeing and culinary destination.
Visitors can ride the Pic Blanc cable car to the summit at 3,330 meters, one of the highest accessible viewpoints in the region, delivering clear-day views that stretch as far as Mont Blanc. Exclusive dining experiences known as “Tastes of the World” invite guests into select mountain restaurants, where chefs present elevated interpretations of Alpine classics such as raclette and cheese fondue.
The Ice Cave, located at approximately 2,700 meters, offers a completely different sensory experience. Inside, guests explore a sculpted network of ice corridors and chambers filled with hand-carved figures and installations, adding a visual and cultural layer to the week beyond the festival stages.
It is important to note that most adventure, wellness and sightseeing activities carry additional fees and are best secured during the official add-on sale to guarantee availability.
Tomorrowland Winter 2026 and the Sound of Tomorrowland Live
For the Tomorrowland Live community, Tomorrowland Winter represents far more than a seasonal festival. Every performance becomes part of a growing global archive of real Tomorrowland moments—captured live on the mountain, preserved in official sets, and replayed by fans around the world who follow the unique identity of the Tomorrowland sound.
As the festival returns to Alpe d’Huez with a new MainStage, the debut of Orbyz in France, and one of its most stylistically complete lineups to date, Tomorrowland Winter 2026 stands as a defining chapter in the evolution of winter festival culture.
High above the clouds, surrounded by snow-covered peaks, Tomorrowland once again proves that the future of live electronic music does not belong to one location, one season, or one format. It belongs wherever music, imagination and community come together—and this March, that place is the French Alps.
