Wire Festival 2026

À propos de l'expérience

WIRE FESTIVAL returns to Knockdown Center for its 5 year anniversary, on May 14-15-16-17, 2026. The festival’s core principles have remained intact since day one: uncompromising curation that highlights the most exciting voices in the US and international techno/house underground, with an eye towards uniting the city’s exceptional local talent with their peers and forbears from across the globe. This mission is augmented by WIRE’s community-building initiatives, including panel discussions in collaboration with Resident Advisor, industry meetups and the festival’s infamous stage takeovers by specially-invited collectives.
