Wasteland Festival is making its way to the East Coast for the first time. Insomniac announced the inaugural Wasteland Orlando, set to take over the Central Florida Fairgrounds on Friday, February 5, and Saturday, February 6, 2027, bringing the brand’s high-BPM hard dance world to a new region of the country.
The Orlando debut will span three newly designed stages and a lineup of more than 40 artists across hardstyle, hard techno, and hardcore. Insomniac is bringing two of its own imprints into the mix, with stage takeovers from Basscon and Mutate, both known for their hard dance programming at festivals like EDC Las Vegas. Rounding out the stage lineup is a takeover produced and hosted by German promoter Unreal Germany, a name well known within Europe’s hardstyle and hardcore circuits.
Wasteland has built its identity in Southern California as a home base for ravers who gravitate toward relentless tempos and the harder end of the dance music spectrum. Bringing the festival to Orlando marks Insomniac’s first attempt at establishing that same community on the East Coast, and it slots into a growing footprint of Insomniac events across Florida.
Two-day general admission and VIP passes go up for presale on Thursday, August 13, at 11:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 a.m. PT, with general on-sale following at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT. Both presale and general sale will run through orlando.wastelandfest.com.
Fans looking to stay on top of lineup reveals and additional presale access can sign up directly through the festival’s website and follow Wasteland Festival’s official Instagram for updates as the debut edition approaches.
