Booked the most in 2026

The Dubstep and Bass acts who spent 2026 on the road. Go to more than one festival and you have probably seen a few of them already.

1. 1Hamdi13UK bass with a dancehall bounce — the sound of a soundsystem set rather than a festival drop, 'Skanka' the breakout.
2. 2Levity9Trio riding the new melodic-bass wave — riddim with feelings, drops that aim at the chest and the heart at once.
3. 3MPH9UK garage revival heat — skippy drums and low-end pressure, two-step engineered for the new generation of dancefloors.
4. 4Subtronics9Riddim-dubstep heavyweight — appearing in the GRIZTRONICS b2b with GRiZ, an hour of pure bass warfare with a funk streak.
5. 5ALLEYCVT8Fast-rising Denver bass producer — melodic drops with teeth, riding the front of the dubstep scene's younger, wilder generation.
6. 6Skrillex8Bass music's shape-shifting elder — from brostep infamy to festival-set transcendence, reinvention as a permanent state.
7. 7ATLiens6Masked Atlanta duo working the dark, alien end of festival bass — extraterrestrial lore, subterranean growls, and drops built for maximum abduction.
8. 8Level Up6Riddim producer with a heavy, minimal approach — a lot of space around some very large sounds, engineered for maximum stank face.
9. 9LYNY6Textural, psychedelic bass music — heavy without being blunt about it.
10. 10Sullivan King6Plays guitar and screams over his own dubstep — the metal/bass crossover taken entirely seriously, pits and drops in equal measure.
