Desert Hearts Microfest 2026 Lineup: Justin Martin, DJ Minx, and More

5 hours ago 1

Desert Hearts Microfest is set to feature performances from Justin Martin, DJ Minx, DJ Holographic, Kevin Knapp, Doc Martin, and more in October.

Desert Hearts is all about house, techno, and love, but it has also championed togetherness with its expansive community. The collective’s annual gatherings have helped bolster this ethos over the years, but while they might not be hosting their annual festival in 2026, Desert Hearts Microfest is stepping up to the plate to replace it. This fresh experience is set to take place on October 1-5 in Deloro Valley, bringing a “microdose of Desert Hearts” along with it.

The buzz surrounding Desert Hearts Microfest from the community already led to tickets and glamping options flying during the initial sale. Now, things have been kicked up another notch with a lineup reveal that’s sure to win over their faithful followers. Immediate standouts include the likes of Justin Martin, DJ Minx, DJ Holographic, Kevin Knapp, and Evan Casey, but there’s plenty more to be excited for.

Legends like Doc Martin, Stacy Pullen, and Danny Daze have found a home on the lineup, while forward-thinking acts like SHADED, Life on Planets, Techno Tupac, Groovewell, and Justin Campbell are also slated to play. Additionally, all four original members of the Desert Hearts crew – Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, and Porky – will also be performing during the first-ever edition of Microfest.

Since Microfest is such an intimate gathering, we wanted every artist on this lineup to feel intentional. We brought together a healthy mix of house and techno legends, cutting-edge up-and-comers, some Europeans on the same wavelength as us, and a dose of Desert Hearts Family veterans who know the DH vibe better than anyone.

Although the music will guide most of this experience, there’s more to do at Desert Hearts Microfest. The Deloro Valley retreat offers a pool to cool down in, activities throughout the property, and more, providing plenty of fun in the sun before the beats take control of the evening hours. Stay tuned for curated experiences to be revealed in the coming weeks.
