A Phase One poster for North Coast Festival 2026 (Sept. 4–6 at SeatGeek Stadium) circulated online and stirred up a lively thread on r/lollapalooza. The leak shows a dance-heavy bill with headline-sized electronic names and a stacked undercard, and fans in the thread reacted with a mix of hype, disappointment and roster detective work.
Quick highlights from the poster
– Headliners and big draws: Fisher and GRiZ appear prominently.
– Major electronic pairings: an Illenium B2B Slander listing and a Porter Robinson DJ set are both visible on the poster.
– Other notable names: Gryffin, Holy Priest, Wooli, Sammy Virji (curator), TroyBoi, Deorro, 3BallMTY, Mersiv, Reaper and Super Future show up among the mid- and lower-card slots.
– Special guest and stage takeovers are also listed, with Chris Lorenzo called out as a special guest.
What fans on Reddit are saying
– Many users flagged John Summit as a likely add — some called him “basically locked in” — while others noted possible date conflicts with known club dates that could affect set timing.
– A handful of commenters were bummed about certain absences (names like Illenium and Porter Robinson were discussed in the context of other festivals), while others pointed out that the poster already includes several surprise acts.
– Reaction split between “predictable and safe” vs. “pretty dope” — overall the thread leaned into excitement for the dance-heavy direction but also nitpicked who did or didn’t make the cut.
Why this matters
North Coast is one of the Midwest’s late-summer electronic-focused festivals, so Phase One list picks the tone for the whole weekend. A strong dance and bass presence signals the festival doubling down on electronic programming for 2026, which will influence who festival-goers plan to see and which days draw the biggest crowds.
We’ll keep an eye out for an official North Coast announcement and a full schedule (stages/days), and we’ll update when the festival confirms dates, set times or adds more names. If you’re planning travel or camping, now’s a good time to start penciling in Sept. 4–6 and watching for ticket drops.
