The Untz Festival is back for its 10 year anniversary, May 8–10, 2026, at Sycamore Ranch in Browns Valley, California. This is the little Northern CA festival that punches way above its weight — expect sunrise and sunset drum & bass, heavy bass sets, community vibes, and a party that feels like coming home.
Why this one’s getting chatter: the poster drops some stacked headliners and stage-shared b2b slots, plus two final sunset sets from IVY LAB — yes, IVY LAB x2 for the festival-closing vibes. Other highlights include LYN Y, SIMULA (Dance Macabre), Richard Finger, ZERO, BORN E, and a healthy roster of local and emerging acts (DMVU, Chmura, Saturna, MFinity, Pop That Trunk, and more).
Lineup highlights
- IVY LAB — Sunset DnB + festival-closing sets (x2)
- LYNY (big billing) + Lyny b2b Zero (garage access)
- SIMULA (Dance Macabre), Richard Finger, ZERO, Borne
- Sunrise sets, garage access, and multiple B2B pairings across smaller stages
The Reddit thread had the usual mix of hype and nitpicks: some users love the trippy poster aesthetic but felt it’s hard to read, others are hyped about surprise b2b combos and community energy. A few locals recommended volunteering if you’re on a budget — classic move for small fest access and meeting the crew.
Bottom line: if you’re into bassy electronic music, big B2B moments, and a tight community feel, this anniversary run looks worth the trip. Keep an eye on final lineup updates and volunteer options if you want to save cash and join the squad.
