EXIT Festival Shares First Wave Lineup for Gathering at Giza Pyramids

6 days ago 1

Charlotte de Witte, Michael Bibi, and WhoMadeWho are all set to perform at the debut of Starlight Festival, a partnership between EXIT Festival and P+US.

In fall 2025, EXIT Festival announced that political pressure in Serbia was forcing it to spread its wings and embark on a 2026 world tour. One of the most highly anticipated stops was at the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on October 9-10, and organizers have now shared the first round of headliners for what they’re calling Starlight Festival.

The lineup includes a number of heavy hitters in dance music. Between Belgian trance-techno superstar Charlotte de Witte, Swiss melodic techno duo Adriatique, and British tech house titan Michael Bibi, it’s clear that the bookers made it a point to curate a roster that commands a formidable draw.

That’s not to overlook headliners like Pete Tong, a world-famous UK broadcast journalist, or WhoMadeWho, a Danish dance music trio who will be performing a hybrid live DJ set. The Starlight Festival first wave lineup consists of 47 artists in total, including acts like Italian techno artist Enrico Sangiuliano, French house mainstay Fiona Kraft, US tastemakers Coco & Breezy, and Saudi Arabian duo Dish Dash.

Starlight Festival is the result of a partnership between EXIT Festival and P+US, an electronic music event brand belonging to Dubai-based entertainment company Venture Lifestyle. P+US notably helped organize Anyma’s Quantum Genesis spectacle at the Great Pyramids, which happened to fall on the one of the same dates as Starlight in 2025.

“It is a great honour to be invited to bring the premium festival concept near one of the grandest monuments in human history,” said EXIT Festival Founder and CEO Dušan Kovačević. “EXIT has always been known for combining world-class entertainment with a strong social mission, which in this case will be dedicated to celebrating Egypt’s extraordinary cultural heritage to a global audience.”

Tickets currently start at €179.00 ($208 USD). Purchase yours via Ticket Egypt if a local or Fever if visiting from abroad, and find more details on the Starlight Festival website.
