After being crowned Best Global Festival 2025 by the DJ Awards, UNUM Festival returns for 2026 with its strongest edition yet, expanding its vision, sound and global influence. Now entering its seventh year, UNUM continues to bridge music, nature and freedom in one of Europe's most breathtaking festival locations: Shëngjin, Albania. This first wave of artists captures UNUM's essence, uniting underground pioneers, modern icons and future stars. Phase 1 lineup highlights include East End Dubs, Ricardo Villalobos, Ben Klock, Raresh, Craig Richards, Richy Ahmed, DJ Tennis, Dyed Soundorom and Gerd Janson, joined by Margaret Dygas, Dan Ghenacia, Praslea, Priku, Francesco Del Garda and Tobi Neumann, alongside a new wave defining the next generation including Anna Wall, Arapu, Bobby, Cameron Jack and Harry McCanna.
Nestled between mountain, pine and sea, UNUM is more than a festival — it's an experience celebrating connection, creativity and the natural beauty of Albania's Adriatic coast. Across five days and five nights of continuous music, the Pine Stage delivers relentless underground energy, the Beach Stage offers sunrise-to-sunset flow and the Main Stage beats as the heart of the night. One of the most special new features of UNUM 2026 is an exclusive after party overlooking the Adriatic in a modern structure atop the hill above Shëngjin, with limited capacity of just 500 people. This panoramic location where sea, sky and music unite creates an experience that stays in memory for a lifetime.
Following record demand, Phase 1 tickets start at just €95, with full packages including accommodation, travel and festival access available from under €300.
