UAE’s Snoopy Beats Festival Reveals '26 Theme & Lineup Oct 30-Nov 1

UAE’s thematic electronic music festival Snoopy Beats has revealed the theme and full lineup for its 2026 edition. Running from October 30th to November 1st, the festival will transform the sandy shores of its Fujairah home into an eccentric, retro-Americana-inspired electronic getaway dubbed ‘Milkshake Ranch’.

First launched in 2017 by founder Tarek Aboudib and DJ Wael Hijazi, Snoopy Beats was conceived as an immersive alternative to the conventional clubbing experience. Over the years, the festival has built a reputation for its elaborate, ever-changing themes, bringing together international and regional electronic music talent against the coastal backdrop of Sandy Beach Resort, overlooking Snoopy Island and the Indian Ocean. Previous editions have explored everything from the fantastical world of ‘Deep End’ to the futuristic Japanese-inspired ‘TENKAI – The Celestial Realm’, establishing Snoopy Beats as a distinctive fixture on the Emirates’ and the region’s electronic dance circuit.

Set between Snoopy Island and the Hajar Mountains, this year’s edition will bring the ‘Milkshake Ranch’ concept to life across four open-air stages, blending retro Americana aesthetics with electronic beats, while maintaining the festival’s signature spirit. The lineup features showcases from some of the region’s most exciting promoters and event brands, including Egypt’s Nacelle and Lebanon’s SND, alongside international and regional heavyweights such as London’s favourite Ben UFO, known for his eclectic sets that move between UK bass, dubstep, house and techno, alongside Argentina’s Mateo Dufour, whose sound leans into minimal and deep tech, and Swiss-based DJ ALCI, who bridges funky house grooves with minimal techno.

Joining them are MiNNA, John Bowtie, Paul Svenson, as well as Spanish DJ and producer Calabasa and John Bowtie, the latter of whom have been keeping Europe’s underground alive with his blend of deep, minimal and tech house. On the regional front, the bill includes some of the scene’s mainstays, such as Jade, Aly Goede, Misty, Ronin, Hameed and EJ.

Beyond the music, festival-goers can expect a range of immersive experiences, markets and interactive activities sprawled across the grounds, extending the ‘Milkshake Ranch’ concept beyond the dancefloor.

Tickets for Snoopy Beats 2026 are available via the festival’s official website.
