Results were announced today via a social media countdown across DJ Mag\u2019s channels, following what the publication describes as another record-breaking voting period.<\/p>\n<p>The festival, held annually in the town of Boom, Belgium, draws around 400,000 visitors across two weekends. With more than a dozen stages and hundreds of artists on the bill each edition, the scale of the operation is hard to match. That combination of production ambition and consistent programming has clearly resonated with fans globally, who turned out in unprecedented numbers to vote this cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Founders Michiel and Manu Beers responded to the news: \u201c<em>Being voted the world\u2019s No. 1 festival for a sixth consecutive year is an incredible honour and something we deeply appreciate. This recognition belongs to the entire Tomorrowland family: our visitors, artists, partners, suppliers and the thousands of people who work passionately behind the scenes throughout the year. It motivates us to keep innovating, keep dreaming and continue creating magical experiences that bring people together from every corner of the world.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>DJ Mag\u2019s Top 100 Festivals poll launched in 2019 with a DJ panel selecting winners. After a Covid hiatus, it reopened to public voting in 2022 \u2014 and vote counts have climbed every year since, mirroring the trajectory of the publication\u2019s better-known Top 100 DJs ranking.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-the-rest-of-the-top-10-shook-out\">How the Rest of the Top 10 Shook Out<\/h2>\n<p>EDC Las Vegas jumps back to second place following its 30th anniversary edition in May, making it the highest-ranked North American festival this year. That pushes Ultra Music Festival down to fourth, with Romania\u2019s UNTOLD holding steady in third.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the top 10 includes Creamfields (7th), Kappa FuturFestival (8th), Glastonbury (9th \u2014 currently on a fallow year), and Germany\u2019s PAROOKAVILLE (10th). India\u2019s Sunburn holds its position as the highest-ranked Asian festival in the top 10. Notably, Coachella drops out of the top 10 for the first time in the poll\u2019s history, landing at No. 12.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edmtunes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/61bd7d12-efce-6dde-ed28-ac20f547c8c7-1.png\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Three festivals broke into the top 20 this year: Austria\u2019s Electric Love (up to 11th), EDC Orlando (16th), and Greece\u2019s PRIMER, which jumped 23 spots to land at 19th. Mysteryland returns to the top 20 for the first time since 2022, while Time Warp and Dekmantel hold at 14th and 17th respectively.<\/p>\n<p>On the country breakdown, the US leads with 15 ranked festivals \u2014 up two on last year \u2014 with new entry III Points (Miami) and the return of Beyond Wonderland (SoCal) contributing to that count. The UK and Netherlands each claim nine spots, with hard techno event VERKNIPT Festival as the new Dutch entry. UK festival Houghton takes this year\u2019s Highest Climber award, rising 43 places to land, fittingly, at No. 43. The event, organized by fabric resident Craig Richards, has been a fixture of British underground electronic music since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Germany and Thailand both sit at seven festivals each, rounding out the top five countries. Germany\u2019s new entry is NATURE ONE, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025. Thailand\u2019s addition is WHITE PARTY BANGKOK \u2014 the first dedicated LGBTQ+ festival to appear in the poll \u2014 making Thailand the Asian country with the most ranked festivals, a title it also holds in DJ Mag\u2019s Top 100 Clubs poll.<\/p>\n<p>There are eight new entries in total this year. The Highest New Entry award goes to Indonesia\u2019s Scream Or Dance, a Halloween-focused event landing at No. 71. The other newcomers include Ultra Argentina, GMO Sonic Storm in Japan, and The Magic Of Tomorrowland \u2014 the Chinese extension of the Belgian flagship, which made its debut in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The full Top 100 Festivals 2026 list is available now at <a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/top100festivals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">djmag.com\/top100festivals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_9723\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"9723\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon large\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mixtv1.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Tomorrowland has claimed the top spot in DJ Mag\u2019s Top 100 Festivals 2026 poll \u2014 its sixth consecutive win and a new record for the Belgian event.
