The countdown is officially on for the return of John Summit\u2019s Experts Only Festival to New York City. With the event scheduled for September 19-20 at the iconic Randall\u2019s Island Park, organizers have just pulled back the curtain on the second wave of talent, providing a clearer picture of what fans can expect from this massive weekend.<\/p>\n
Building on the momentum of its 2025 inaugural run-which saw tickets vanish almost instantly-the festival is scaling up significantly. This year, the event is projected to host over 50,000 attendees, cementing its status as a premier destination for electronic music enthusiasts. By collaborating with industry powerhouses like Medium Rare, Relentless Beats, and EMW, the festival is setting a new benchmark for how large-scale dance events are executed in the heart of the Big Apple.<\/p>\n
The latest announcement injects even more variety into an already stacked bill. New additions to the roster include the high-energy pairing of Max Styler b2b Adam Ten, the bass-heavy sounds of Levity, and the driving rhythms of Will Clarke. Attendees can also look forward to sets from Broken Hill, a collaborative performance between Innellea and Korolova, as well as appearances by No Static and rSun.<\/p>\n
These artists join a powerhouse collection of previously confirmed acts, including John Summit himself, the legendary GRiZ, and the highly anticipated SUBJOHNICS (a back-to-back set featuring John Summit and Subtronics). The diverse lineup also features Prospa, LYNY, Taiki Nulight, Devault, Dreya V, OMRI., Partiboi69, Jackie Hollander, Dansyn, Airrica, Gabbs, MADI (IT), Soraya, Mishell, and Rohaan. For a deeper dive into the full roster and the latest updates, you can check out the second phase of the lineup<\/a> here.<\/p>\n Beyond the music, the festival is undergoing a structural transformation. To keep the energy dynamic, the organizers are debuting three uniquely themed stages. Each environment is being crafted with a bespoke visual identity and a specific sonic palette, ensuring that whether you are looking for underground house vibes or heavy-hitting bass, there is a dedicated space tailored to that atmosphere.<\/p>\n The Main Stage is positioned as the festival\u2019s heartbeat, designed to anchor the weekend with massive production values and the event’s biggest headlining sets.<\/p>\nImmersive Stage Design<\/h3>\n
