Summary
- Dweller festival dedicated to Black electronic music is back in NYC.
- The event spans multiple New York venues from February 17-27, 2026.
- The festival paused for two years to ensure sustainability and avoid burnout.
The Dweller festival, celebrating Black electronic music, is making its comeback in New York City. Scheduled from Tuesday, February 17, through Sunday, February 22, 2026, with a concluding event on Friday, February 27, the festival will host a diverse lineup across various iconic New York venues. These include locations such as Paragon, Nowadays, Public Records, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Pioneer Works, and Basement.
The 2026 edition will predominantly feature local talents like Junglepussy, Introspekt, and keiyaA, alongside notable acts such as Zack Fox, Oli XL, and A Guy Called Gerald. Dweller, which originated in 2019 as a five-night series, expanded in subsequent years to encompass multiple days and venues. The hiatus, announced in 2024, was a deliberate measure for sustainability and longevity, allowing the team to refine systems and secure funding to avoid burnout.
