Where to Catch Nina Kraviz on Her 2026 World Tour

A running guide to Nina Kraviz's 2026 tour, from Phuket to Ibiza to Bengaluru, with dates, venues, and where to check for updates.

Nina Kraviz does not really do "off seasons" anymore. Between a January warehouse rave in Thailand and a November festival slot in regional Victoria, the Siberian-born DJ, producer, and трип (тrip) Records founder has built a 2026 calendar that reads less like a tour and more like a map of where underground dance music is currently expanding. Some stops are the expected ones: Ibiza, Barcelona, a fabric all-nighter in London. Others point somewhere newer, like DGTL's first-ever India edition or a two-weekend techno marathon in a Serbian spa town.

This guide pulls together the confirmed 2026 dates as they stand in early September, organized by season and region, along with context on what each festival or venue actually represents in club culture. Tour routings for artists at Kraviz's level shift constantly (new legs get added, some dates get swapped for others), so treat this as a living reference rather than a locked itinerary, and check the primary listings linked throughout before booking travel.

Where Is Nina Kraviz Playing in 2026?

As of this writing, Kraviz has confirmed appearances across Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia, plus a recurring summer residency in Ibiza. The season breaks down roughly like this: a January festival date in Thailand, a March alpine stop in France, a heavy spring-into-summer run through the Netherlands, Colombia, France, and Spain, a July stretch that hits London, Madrid, Barcelona, and Malta almost back to back, August dates in Portugal and Serbia, a September return to Belgium, and a November closer that spans India and Australia. Her Amnesia Ibiza residency runs underneath all of it every Sunday from mid-June through early October.

For the most current version of this list, the artist-tour trackers on Songkick, Resident Advisor, and Bandsintown pull directly from promoter announcements and update faster than almost any editorial piece can, including this one.

January to March: Thailand and the Alps

Kraviz opened 2026 at EDC Thailand, held January 16 through 18 in Phuket. Insomniac's Southeast Asian outpost of Electric Daisy Carnival has grown into one of the region's largest dance music gatherings, and the 2026 edition expanded its Rhythm Park footprint considerably, positioning Kraviz alongside a lineup spanning trance, bass, and techno.

In late March (the 21st through the 28th), she played Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d'Huez, France. The snow-covered sister event to Belgium's Tomorrowland turns a ski resort into a week-long festival site, with stages built into the mountain and club nights running in the village below. It is one of the few settings where you can watch a Kraviz set and then, in theory, go skiing the next morning.

Late Spring: Los Angeles, the Netherlands, Bogota

May brought a genuine world tour rhythm. She played Tomorrowland's CORE event in Los Angeles on May 2 and 3, staged at Los Angeles State Historic Park, before flying to the Netherlands for Awakenings Upclose at Spaarnwoude on May 16 and 17. Upclose is Awakenings' more intimate, boutique-scaled outdoor event, distinct from the label's much larger summer festival later in July, and it leans into closer, more conversational stage sizes than the brand's usual scale.

From there she went to South America for BAUM Festival in Bogota, Colombia, on May 22 and 23, a festival that has become one of the clearest signals of how far Colombia's techno and house scene has come in the last decade, drawing international headliners to a city that barely registered on European booking agents' radar fifteen years ago.

Summer: Paris, Spain, London, and the Netherlands Again

Summer is where the calendar gets genuinely dense. Kraviz played Solidays in Paris (June 26 to 28), a festival built around HIV/AIDS research fundraising that has long paired mainstream pop and hip hop headliners with a serious late-night electronic program. She then moved through Spain and the Netherlands in quick succession: Mad Cool Festival in Madrid (July 8 to 11), marking the festival's tenth anniversary; the Awakenings Festival proper in Hilvarenbeek (July 10 to 12), the brand's flagship large-scale event and one of the most technically ambitious techno productions in Europe; and SOUNDIT Festival in Barcelona (July 17 and 18), a newer club-and-experimental-sound gathering at Parc Nou.

London came next on July 25, with a joint fabric x Junction 2 date. Junction 2 is the UK's most prominent standalone techno festival brand, and this edition paired an afternoon and evening at Boston Manor Park with a fabric by Night after-set back at the legendary Farringdon club, itself a fixture on any serious list of the world's most influential dance venues.

July closed out in Malta, where Kraviz headlined opening night of Spiral Festival (July 31 to August 2) alongside Fatboy Slim, a new addition to the EXIT festival organization's growing international touring format.

August Into September: Portugal, Serbia, Belgium

August took her to Portugal for NeoPop, held August 6 through 8 at the Forte de Santiago da Barra in Viana do Castelo. For its 20th anniversary the festival briefly reclaimed its original name, AntiPop, a nod to its roots as one of the Iberian Peninsula's foundational techno gatherings. Days later, on August 7, she played Lovefest in Vrnjacka Banja, Serbia, a long-running Balkan festival that expanded to a two-weekend format in 2026 and remains a key stop for artists building an audience in Southeastern Europe.

September brings a return to Belgium for Voodoo Village in Grimbergen (September 11 to 13), a festival built into castle grounds and forested parkland that has developed a reputation for immersive, film-set-style stage design across its five stages.

Autumn: India and Australia

The calendar's most significant expansion move lands in November. DGTL India, running November 13 and 14 across Bengaluru and Mumbai, marks the sixth edition of a festival brand originally founded in Amsterdam and now operating outposts on several continents. As Rolling Stone India reported, Kraviz headlines an international bill alongside Stephan Bodzin and Biianco, part of a broader push by European festival operators into South Asia's rapidly growing club scene. Two weeks later, she closes out the year Down Under at A3 Festival in Lardner Park, Victoria (November 27 to 29), an Australian event built around the intersection of audio, art, and architecture.

What Festivals Is Nina Kraviz Doing in 2026, and What Are They Known For?

Taken together, the 2026 route is a fairly good cross-section of how dance music festival culture is currently organized: mega-brands with global franchises (Tomorrowland, DGTL, EXIT), regional flagships with decades of history (Awakenings, NeoPop, Lovefest), city-specific newcomers testing the market (SOUNDIT, Spiral), and single-club institutions that still matter as much as any festival (fabric, Amnesia). Booking across all of those tiers in a single year is fairly unusual, and it reflects how techno and house have moved from niche subculture into something closer to a genuinely global touring circuit, a shift covered in more detail in our look at electronic music's growth in the US.

What Is the Amnesia Ibiza Residency, and When Does It Run?

Running underneath all of the above is Kraviz's Sunday residency at Pyramid, Amnesia Ibiza, active every Sunday from June 14 through October 4, 2026 (with the occasional week off for a touring conflict). Pyramid is one of Amnesia's two main rooms and has hosted some of techno's most storied residencies over the years. A Sunday there functions almost like a season-long check-in point between her international dates, since fans who cannot catch a specific festival stop can generally count on finding her back on the island most weeks through the summer. For a closer look at what that residency actually feels like on the ground, see our piece on the Pyramid residency itself, and for the bigger picture of her year, including the label news around it, there's our full 2026 recap.

How Should Fans Track Updates to This Schedule?

Festival routings change constantly this far out, and even confirmed dates sometimes shift stage times, get rescheduled, or get quietly dropped from a bill. A few practical habits help:

  • Check the artist page on Resident Advisor or Songkick rather than a single festival's own site, since aggregators tend to catch new date additions faster.
  • Cross-reference with Music Festival Wizard's artist tracker, which is specifically built around festival lineups rather than club shows, so it's useful for catching newly announced summer additions.
  • Follow the promoter accounts for festivals you're already planning around (a festival's own Instagram or newsletter usually announces set-time and stage changes before any third-party tracker updates).
  • Remember that regional promoters sometimes add local warm-up or after-hours club dates around a festival weekend that never make it onto the major trackers at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Nina Kraviz playing next in 2026?

Her confirmed 2026 route runs from January's EDC Thailand date in Phuket through a November close spanning DGTL India (Bengaluru and Mumbai, November 13 to 14) and A3 Festival in Lardner Park, Australia (November 27 to 29). Between those bookends, she holds a weekly Sunday residency at Pyramid, Amnesia Ibiza, from June 14 to October 4.

Is Nina Kraviz still doing a residency at Amnesia Ibiza in 2026?

Yes. She continues her Sunday residency at Pyramid, Amnesia Ibiza, running every Sunday from June 14 through October 4, 2026, alongside her wider international festival schedule.

What is DGTL India and why is Nina Kraviz playing it?

DGTL is a festival brand founded in Amsterdam that has expanded to multiple countries over the past decade. Its 2026 India edition, held across Bengaluru and Mumbai on November 13 and 14, reflects a broader trend of established European festival operators bringing headline-level techno and house bookings, including Kraviz, into South Asia's fast-growing club scene.

What is NeoPop and why did it briefly change its name?

NeoPop is a long-running Portuguese techno festival held at the Forte de Santiago da Barra in Viana do Castelo. For its 2026 edition, marking 20 years, the festival temporarily readopted its original name, AntiPop, as a nod to its earliest years, before Nina Kraviz and the rest of the 2026 lineup take the fortress stages August 6 through 8.

Where can I find the most accurate, up-to-date Nina Kraviz tour dates?

Artist-tour aggregators such as Resident Advisor, Songkick, and Bandsintown update fastest when new dates are announced or existing ones shift, since they pull directly from promoter listings rather than relying on a single festival's own announcement schedule.

If a flight to Bengaluru or a ferry to Ibiza isn't in the cards this year, the same underground spirit that built this touring circuit runs around the clock on RTS.FM, the independent internet radio station and label that has been broadcasting non-commercial techno and house since 2006. Our Bandcamp carries releases from the artists behind that sound, and our Telegram is where we post set announcements and schedule updates in real time.

Whatever stage she's on next, the throughline of Kraviz's 2026 run is the same one that has defined her whole career: a willingness to play a snow-covered mountain stage in France, a fortress by the Atlantic in Portugal, and a Sunday room in Ibiza with the same conviction, treating each as another node in the same worldwide underground network rather than a stop to be phoned in.
