We Belong Here has unveiled the lineup for its debut New Orleans festival, setting up a three‑day dance weekend at the newly revamped Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park from Friday, Nov. 13 through Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026. ODESZA is set for a DJ set on opening night, Carl Cox and Steve Angello top the bill on Saturday, and Sammy Virji is slated to close out the weekend. The boutique electronic festival is planting itself on the Mississippi riverfront and billing the run as the brand’s “debut dance” for the city.
According to We Belong Here, presale registration opens June 11 at 12 p.m. CT. Fans can sign up on the festival’s website for early access and priority tickets, and organizers have directed followers there from their social platforms since the lineup announcement dropped.
A Waterfront Debut At Woldenberg Park
The festival will take over the newly expanded Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park, which opened in April after city leaders and Audubon marked completion of the first major phase. The project connects nearly 2.25 miles of continuous riverfront and adds more than six acres of public green space. Those new amenities, which include river‑facing seating, hammocks and a marsh‑themed playground, are outlined by the Audubon Nature Institute. The first phase carried a price tag close to $30 million, according to New Orleans & Company.
Lineup Notes And Local Partnerships
The lineup pairs global dance heavyweights with a slate of rising and local names. Beyond the headliners, the roster includes BLOND:ISH, Max Styler, Andrè Power, Apex Martin, Blu DeTiger and more. As reported by FOX 8, organizers are framing the weekend as their "debut dance" along the Mississippi, and the festival notes that attendance helps fund K–12 music education through local partners, per We Belong Here. "New Orleans is not only a musical epicenter, it’s a true cultural melting pot," co‑founder Justin Dauman told EDM Identity.
Tickets, Logistics And What To Watch Next
Presale registration opens June 11 at noon CT, and organizers are urging early sign‑ups while asking fans to watch the festival’s channels for the public ticket release. Event listings such as JamBase list Woldenberg Riverfront Park as the venue and point fans to the official site for updates. With a waterfront footprint and a reputation for curated, comfortable festival design, the coming months will show how We Belong Here navigates crowding, transit and the local impact of a late‑year music draw.
