If there were a bridge between the raw urgency of the dancefloor and the contemplative solitude of nature, you’d find it at Delirium Festival. Set against the verdant expanse of La Pineda Fosca, this May 16th’s opening edition promises another journey for the real techno heads. After teasing a brand evolution and a return to its spiritual home, the festival has finally revealed the full lineup.

In a power move, Delirium has partnered with the tastemakers at Loud-Contact to craft a musical program that shuns conventional formulas, charting attendees through avant-garde techno and selective digging at its best, without leaving their melodic and progressive nature behind. With two large-scale stages and top-tier production, festival-goers are guaranteed that of an immersive experience amid the natural surroundings indelibly promised.

The top shelf of the bill is a statement of intent. Leading the charge is Maceo Plex, whose ability to navigate between cinematic melodies and the darker edges of electro remains unparalleled. He’s joined by the backbone of the Berlin sound, Marcel Dettmann, and the versatile Marco Faraone, who brings the explosive energy that has made his UNCAGE imprint a staple in the scene.

For those who prefer their techno with a side of mystery, the bill dives deep with Japanese icon DJ Nobu, the psychedelic narratives of Vladimir Ivkovic, and the hypnotic minimal precision of Onur Özer. However, Delirium never forgets its roots, rounding out the program with local mainstays like Lumiere, Scoom Legacy, Shel·ly, and Test13.

With a production overhaul and a location that fuses art with the wild landscapes of Cassà de la Selva, the 2026 opening marks a turning point. And while Girona remains the heart of the project, rumours of the brand expanding to new territories are already circulating. But for now, the focus is on May 16th — nail down your spot now!
