BAUM Festival 2026: Eleven Years, One Dancefloor and the Best Lineup Yet

Eleven years. One dancefloor. Zero excuses not to go.

BAUM Festival is back for its eleventh edition, and it is doing so at Corferias, Bogota's favorite convention centre turned temple of chaoas, on May 22 and 23, 2026. If you have never been, this is the one. If you have been before, you already know you are going. The festival basically invented the concept of making Bogota feel like the centre of the electronic universe for an entire weekend, and its going it again.

BAUM 11 is arriving with the mission of bringing thousands of people onto one dancefloor built for everybody, kicking off a new decade of the festival as a space where rhythms, voices and bodies collide to feel what electronic music actually does to a room full of people who genuinely care about it. That's the pitch. And without, the lineup sells itself.

Disclosure Are Back in Club Mode

Friday 22 May centres itself around the return of Disclosure to a DJ set format, a selection that goes straight back to the root of house: groove, reading the crowd, and direct connection with the room. This is not the Disclosure you see headlining festivals on LED screens the size of a small country. This is Guy and Howard Lawrence in DJ mode, pulling from house, UK garage, and a decade of knowingly exactly which record turns a crowd into a single organism.

The duo have racked up nominations for eight Grammys, four BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello, and their track "Latch" with Sam Smith has recently crossed one billion streams. None of which matters when the bass drops and everyone in the room forgetes what year it is.

Mall Grab and the Art of Saying Nothing With Everything

Also on that Friday bill is Mall Grab, the Australian DJ and producer who has turned lo-fi house minimalism into a full personality. Originally from Newcastle, Australia and now based in London, his music explores the roots of house and techno stripped back and minimal yet atmospheric, shaped heavily by the working class industrial world he grew up around.

With an endless supply of club ready weapons, Mall Grab specialises in a genre crossing infectious energy that drags the whole crowd in. He favours almost entirely unreleased material in his sets, so arriving ready is genuinely the advice. You will not recognize a single track and somehow that will make it better.

Cassian Is Bringing the Feelings You Were Not Ready For

Grammy winning Australian producer Cassian rounds out the house contingent with something that hits differently. A genuine trailblazer in the melodic house and techno space, Cassian has over 200 million streams globally and his releases on labels like Afterlife Records and Rose Avenue Records have consistently led Beatport charts.

He won a Grammy for his work on RÜFÜS DU SOL's "Alive" and has played everywhere from Tomorrowland to Coachella. His sets have a habit of making you feel things you cannot name, which is exactly what a festival set should do.

The Rest of the Lineup is Not Messing Around

Friday also brings Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Helena Hauff, Boys Noize and a younger generation pushing the edges of the contemporary club with artists like Pegassi, Malugi, OTTA, Cera Khin, and the collaborative set of 6EJOU B2B SNTS.

Saturday 23 May is an entirely different flavor of chaos, build around Underworld performing live. A project that wrote chapters in history is still very much in conversation with the present.

Around them, Nina Kraviz, Paul Oakenfold, DJ Rush, Pan-Pot and Planetary Assault Systems fill in a day that moves across generations of techno without ever losing the thread.

Colombian artists including Aleja Vargas, Noise Mafia, Felipe Gordon, Felinah and more represent a local scene that has spent years building something real and is finally getting its flowers on the biggest stage in the country.

BAUM Festival 2026 is 18 plus, runs across May 22 and 23 at Corferias in Bogota, and tickets are available now. The dancefloor is already calling. You just have to show up.
