We Belong Reveals Central Park 2026 Headliners: Steve Angello, LP Giobbi, Ben Böhmer and More
We Belong Here has announced the headline acts for its third Central Park edition, set for October 2–4, 2026 at Wollman Rink in New York. The electronic music festival, which transforms the ice-skating venue into an open-air dance floor each autumn, revealed its first round of performers on August 10 via Billboard.
Friday, October 2 opens with MEDUZA³ — a hybrid live concept from the Italian trio Meduza — alongside LP Giobbi, who takes the sunset-hour slot. Saturday brings German producer Ben Böhmer and a live performance from fellow German artist Stephan Bodzin. Sunday closes the weekend with Swedish mainstay Steve Angello and a DJ set from indie electronic duo Bob Moses.
The undercard adds further international flavour. Danish-Egyptian DJ, producer and singer Ashibah, Brooklyn-based artist Eve Lauren, and Copenhagen-based trio Tripolism round out the initial lineup, with festival organisers stating that many more artists will be added in the coming months.
Registration for a ticket presale is currently open through the festival's official site at webelonghere.world/events/. The fall edition follows a summer We Belong Here held in June at Brooklyn Army Terminal, which featured a performance by Shermanology, according to the festival's website.
Wollman Rink, the venue for the Central Park edition, converts back to an ice-skating facility a few weekends after the festival wraps. The 2025 edition of the Central Park event included a DJ set by Sultan + Shepard.
We Belong Here has been expanding well beyond New York. A New Orleans edition is scheduled for November 13–15 at Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park, with a lineup including Steve Angello, Carl Cox, a DJ set from Odesza, and Sammy Virji. The festival will then head to Miami's Virginia Key Beach Park on February 26–27, 2027, with that lineup still to be announced.
What makes We Belong Here stand out is its choice of settings. The festival describes itself as producing music experiences in unique locations, and Wollman Rink — nestled inside Central Park with the Manhattan skyline as backdrop — fits that brief. The festival also frames itself as community-built, offering roles for volunteers, artists, vendors, sponsors and partners to help shape each edition.
For electronic music fans in the New York area, the October dates offer a three-night run of house, techno and adjacent sounds in one of the city's most recognisable outdoor venues. Presale registration is the first step toward securing tickets before any general on-sale is announced.
