Terminal V Festival has unveiled final details for its 2026 edition, set for April 18-19 at the Royal Highland Centre & Showground in Edinburgh. Organizers confirmed six stages, over 100 artists, and a £1 million investment into the site.
The festival expects 40,000 attendees across the weekend. With new additions and stage splits revealed, Terminal V continues to strengthen its reputation as one of Europe’s premier techno gatherings.
Terminal V: Stage Highlights and Artist Additions
The flagship Area V stage will host peak‑time techno. On Saturday, Sara Landry presents her UK exclusive Eternalism, joined by Clara Cuvé, Novah, Fumi, Adrián Mills, and Alex Farell. Sunday closes with Klangkuenstler, plus a world‑exclusive b2b set from SPFDJ x SIM0NE.
Secondly, Hangar promises relentless intensity. Across both days, expect uncompromising sets from 999999999, I Hate Models, Fantasm, Vieze Asbak, and Winson. New names like TLØ and Natte Vistick will also add fresh energy.
Thirdly, the Greenhouse stage balances history and groove. Saturday features Robert Hood, Chlär (Live), Alarico, Clouds x Tommy Holohan. Sunday shifts toward tech house with Patrick Topping, East End Dubs, Traumer, Prunk, and La La.
The Terminal stage delivers high‑energy sets without genre limits. Artists include Mall Grab, Ben Hemsley, Will Atkinson, Morgan Seatree, DJ Gigola, Pegassi, and Spray. Finally, the Block stage debuts in 2026 with a secret guest lineup. Meanwhile, The Lab remains dedicated to emerging Scottish talent, with details still to come.
Investment and Festival Identity
Organizers confirmed a £1 million investment into the Royal Highland Centre site. According to the organizers, this funding continues to enhance production, sound, and lighting, ensuring Terminal V maintains its reputation for high‑spec design.
Each stage is built with intent. From headline techno to foundational house, every sound has space to thrive. The festival’s identity lies in its ability to balance scale with narrative, creating a complete ecosystem for electronic music.
Terminal V’s growth also reflects a clear vision. Rather than expanding aimlessly, the festival refines its format by giving each genre its own platform. This approach has helped Terminal V become Scotland’s No. 1 electronic festival and a fixture in Europe’s techno calendar.
Thus, Terminal V Festival 2026 promises two days of uncompromising electronic music, diverse stage programming, and world‑class production. With over 100 artists, six stages, and a major site upgrade, Edinburgh will once again host one of Europe’s most anticipated techno events.
