John Summit's Experts Only Fest Returns 2026

John Summit has announced that his successful Experts Only festival will return for a second year in 2026. The highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on September 19-20, promising another vibrant celebration of electronic music.

The festival's debut in September 2025 on Randall's Island in New York City was met with significant enthusiasm, attracting approximately 50,000 attendees over its two-day run. This success has paved the way for its return, with organizers partnering once again with Medium Rare, Relentless Beats, and EMW.

Experts Only Festival draws its name from Summit's own Experts Only label, a platform that has consistently released music from Summit and a collective of talented producers. The label's strong performance, ranking No. 1 on Beatport's global chart for extended periods in 2024 and 2025, highlights its significant impact on the electronic music scene.
