Marbella is getting a new festival. 12:XII makes its debut on Friday 21st August 2026 at Recinto Ferial de San Pedro Alcántara. This is an open-air setting converted with giant LED screens, ice cannon, dynamic structures and an amazing sound system with DJ Snake headlining its inaugural edition under the theme Beyond Time.
The French superstar is a crowd pulling choice for this festival. His third studio album Nomad arrived in November 2025 on Interscope Records. This is his first full-length in six years since Carte Blanche spanning English, Spanish, Korean and Bambara across 17 tracks. Most recently, he produced “Worship” for Nigerian artist Asake, released in March 2026, which served as the lead single to Asake’s fourth studio album M$ney. A catalogue that includes Turn Down For What, Lean On, Taki Taki and Let Me Love You with billions of streams collectively, has made him one of the most recognisable names in global electronic music.
Joining him is Joezi, alongside Skinny, Declan, Blacksun and Diego Marin.
Marbella as the Canvas
The festival itself is a concept built around luxury and setting in equal measure. The festival will have a beautiful landscape between the Mediterranean coastline and the Sierra Blanca mountains. Marbella provides a backdrop that needs no enhancement although the production at 12:XII will add plenty of its own. Palm trees. An elevated view of downtown. A baking sun transitioning into a starry night sky.
“Great brands are built around an idea,” said the festival founder. “12:XII was born from the belief that time is the ultimate luxury, and that one extraordinary night can live far beyond the moment itself. DJ Snake was the natural choice to open that story because true icons don’t just perform, they define generations.”
General Admission tickets start from €49. VIP tables are available in limited numbers. Get tickets at 12xiifestival.com.
