Wakaan Music Festival 2026 is officially just days away!
Returning to Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas, on October 1–3, with the pre-party kicking things off on September 30, Liquid Stranger’s annual bass music gathering is celebrating its sixth edition with a weekend of sonic exploration, art, and community.
This year’s lineup features two sets from Liquid Stranger alongside performances from Of The Trees, Getter, EAZYBAKED, TRUTH, Jantsen, TVBOO, Detox Unit, Flux Pavilion, Whethan, and more.
From familiar favorites to underground discoveries, Wakaan’s appeal runs deeper than its headliners. With soulful grooves, dark dubstep, and experimental sounds spread throughout the weekend, there’s plenty to explore on the mountain.
Ahead of our return, we’ve picked five sets we’re especially excited to catch this year!
Check out Top 5 Sets To Catch At Wakaan Fest 2026 below.
Artifakts
Blending electronic production with hip-hop, soul, and funk, Artifakts brings a sound that lets you kick back while giving you plenty of reasons to move. Shifting from smooth, atmospheric grooves into heavier bursts of bass, his Wakaan set offers room to settle into the rhythm and get down.
Detox Unit
Detox Unit’s Wakaan debut brings deep bass, intricate glitches, and sharp mixing into a set that keeps you guessing. His unpredictable transitions give each groove a new direction, pulling you further into his experimental sound. Come ready to get a little lost in this one.
EAZYBAKED
Longtime friends Eric and Andrew, better known as EAZYBAKED, bring experimental bass that feels right at home on Mulberry Mountain. Their patient, spacious production lets strange textures and filthy low-end hits do the heavy lifting. It’s a set for getting lost in the sound and getting down with your friends.
TRUTH
New Zealand duo TRUTH brings bass that hits you in the chest and pulls you all the way in. Through their productions and Deep Dark & Dangerous label, they’ve helped shape deep dubstep’s underground. Expect dark atmospheres, slow-building tension, and plenty of low-end pressure on the mountain.
Of The Trees
Of The Trees blends deep bass, glitchy textures, and atmospheric melodies into music that invites you to follow every turn. Paired with nature-inspired visuals, his sets give the quieter passages as much character as the heavier drops. Get comfortable, get moving, and enjoy the trip.
