LOCUS Bali

Drum 'n' Bass in Paradise

LOCUS returns to Bali for 2026 with four days of drum 'n' bass in paradise. Set within the lush grounds of Nuanu Creative City, this international festival brings together the biggest names in the global DnB scene — from DJ Hype and London Elektricity to GODDARD and S.P.Y — for a non-stop celebration of bass, rhythm, and island energy.

LOCUS is one of the most exciting additions to Bali's music calendar — a dedicated drum 'n' bass festival that draws ravers and bass-music lovers from across the globe to the island. For 2026, the festival runs across four days from 18–21 June at Nuanu Creative City, a sprawling, nature-immersed creative hub in the Tabanan regency on Bali's south-west coast, where multiple stages are woven into jungle, gardens, and open-air arenas.

The Phase One line-up reads like a who's-who of the international drum 'n' bass world. Headliners include GODDARD, DJ Hype, London Elektricity, Danny Byrd, S.P.Y, Etherwood, DJ Craze, Concord Dawn, Spor, Krafty Kuts, Calyx, dBridge, Doc Scott, The Upbeats, Makoto, Seba and many more — alongside legendary MCs such as Dynamite MC, Tali, and Stamina MC. With more artists still to be announced, the bill spans everything from liquid and jump-up to deep, dark, and jungle.

What sets LOCUS apart is its setting. Rather than a generic festival field, Nuanu Creative City offers a striking backdrop of tropical landscaping, art installations, and beachfront access, so the festival experience flows between high-energy dancefloors and moments of calm in nature. Days build gradually into nights of relentless bass under the stars, making it a bucket-list event for the worldwide DnB community.

For travellers, LOCUS pairs perfectly with a wider Bali trip — base yourself in nearby Canggu or along the south-west coast, explore beaches and rice terraces by day, and dive into the festival by night. It's a chance to experience a world-class electronic music event in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet.

Tips for visitors

  • • Buy tickets early via Ticket Fairy — international DnB fans travel for this and tiers sell out.
  • • Stay in Canggu, Cemagi, or along the south-west coast for the easiest access to Nuanu Creative City.
  • • Arrange transport in advance; ride-hailing can be limited late at night near the venue.
  • • Pace yourself across the four days — gates open in the afternoon and the music runs late.
  • • Bring earplugs and comfortable shoes; the bass is heavy and you'll be on your feet for hours.
  • • Follow @locus.bali on Instagram for set times, stage maps, and new line-up announcements.
  • • Stay hydrated in Bali's heat and humidity — water is essential at an outdoor bass festival.
