Miami’s biggest Halloween celebration is officially taking shape. Factory Town and Insomniac have unveiled the complete lineup for Hocus Pocus 2026: <Dystopia Halloween>, returning to Hialeah’s sprawling nightlife complex from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1.
Now entering its sixth edition, the three-day festival will bring more than 100 artists across five stages to Factory Town, continuing its evolution into one of the most anticipated electronic music events on Miami’s annual calendar. This year’s theme, <Dystopia Halloween>, imagines the venue as a decaying industrial ecosystem, transforming its interconnected stages into reactor cores, ventilation chambers, control rooms, and sprawling pieces of industrial machinery.
Leading the lineup are some of dance music’s biggest names, including Chase & Status, Eric Prydz, Gorgon City, MEDUZA, Purple Disco Machine, Indira Paganotto, Nora En Pure, Prospa, salute, and Todd Edwards. The festival will also mark the long-awaited Factory Town debut of British drum-and-bass icons Chase & Status, bringing one of electronic music’s most celebrated live acts to Miami for the first time.
Back-to-Back Sets and Underground Favorites Take Center Stage
As in previous years, Hocus Pocus will lean heavily into exclusive back-to-back performances spanning house, techno, and bass music. Standout pairings include Joseph Capriati B2B Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones B2B Franky Rizardo, Odd Mob B2B Cassian, Âme DJ B2B Marcel Dettmann, DJ Boring B2B ATRIP, and Kevin Saunderson B2B Julya Karma.
Elsewhere across the lineup, fans can expect sets from Kerri Chandler, Chloé Caillet, Jayda G, Apollonia, AYYBO, Eli Escobar, ChaseWest, Bushbaby, Slugg, and Malugi, alongside techno and experimental artists including Dax J, Layton Giordani, Mall Grab, Matthew Dear, Special Request, Skream, Conducta, X Club., and Yanamaste.
Beyond the headliners, Hocus Pocus continues to celebrate the local culture that helped establish Factory Town as one of Miami’s defining nightlife destinations. This year’s edition will feature stage takeovers at Cypress End from beloved Miami institutions getbusy and Electric Pickle, each bringing their own community and musical identity to the festival.
With its dystopian production concept, genre-spanning lineup, and another weekend of sunrise-to-sunrise programming on deck, Hocus Pocus 2026 is once again positioning itself as the centerpiece of Halloween weekend in Miami.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
