Excision Reveals Lost Lands 2026 Daily Lineups, and Sunday Might Be the Best Day
Excision has revealed the day-by-day lineups for Lost Lands 2026, including a two-hour Friday headline set and his annual Sunday Detox Set at Legend Valley, September 18-20.
If you've been holding off on planning your Lost Lands weekend, you can stop refreshing now. Excision just rolled out the daily lineups for the 2026 edition, which lands at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio from September 18-20. And yes, the schedule answers the big question: Excision himself is closing Friday with a two-hour headline set.
Here's how the prehistoric playground breaks down. Wednesday's early entry party eases you in with Jaenga, Caspa, Barely Alive, and Riot Ten, while Thursday's pre-party brings FuntCase, Dirt Monkey, Deadcrow, and rSun. Neither of those days technically counts as the festival proper, but let's be real — if you're camping, you're raging all five days.
Friday is where things get heavy. NGHTMRE, Borgore, Levity, and TYNAN all warm up the valley before Excision takes over for those two full hours. Saturday might be the deepest day on paper: ILLENIUM, Seven Lions at sunset, Flosstradamus, Flux Pavilion, Whethan, and a Subtronics b2b with Level Up that should rattle a few dinosaur skeletons loose.
But don't sleep on Sunday. Adventure Club are doing a throwback set, Eptic goes b2b with LYNY, and Krewella, Wax Motif, ATLiens, Boogie T, Ghastly, and HALIENE round out the day before Excision returns for his annual Detox Set — the traditional melodic comedown that's become one of the festival's best-loved rituals. A throwback set, a Detox Set, and Krewella on the same day? Sunday's sneaky good.
According to the announcement coverage, tickets were already 97 percent sold out when the daily lineups dropped, so if you've been on the fence, this is pretty much last call. Lost Lands has grown into the biggest bass music gathering in North America since Excision launched it in 2017, and the 2026 edition looks like it'll keep that crown comfortably — it earned a spot in our ranked guide to the best US festivals for a reason.
The day-split also makes single-day decisions brutal in the best way. Do you go Friday for the two-hour headliner, Saturday for ILLENIUM and the Subtronics b2b, or Sunday for the Detox comedown? If you're the type who plans your whole weekend around set conflicts, start stretching now — this one's going to hurt.
Lost Lands 2026 runs September 18-20 at Legend Valley, with early entry programming starting Wednesday for campers. Headbangers, you've got a month to get your neck in shape.
