Charlotte de Witte, Michael Bibi, Adriatique, Vintage Culture, Pete Tong and more to headline new electronic music experience in Egypt this October.
EXIT Festival is expanding its reach with the launch of Starlight Festival, a brand-new electronic music event arriving in Egypt from October 8-11, 2026. Created in partnership with Venture Lifestyle and its electronic music platform P+US, the fest will take place near the Great Pyramids of Giza, combining world-class dance music with one of the most iconic backdrops the world has to offer. The new concept marks another major step in EXIT’s international growth following its success as a three-time European Best Major Festival winner.
Leading the inaugural lineup are Charlotte de Witte, who will deliver her first-ever performance in Egypt, Michael Bibi making his debut appearance at the pyramids, and melodic techno powerhouse Adriatique. They’ll be joined by an impressive roster that includes Vintage Culture, Pete Tong, WhoMadeWho, Enrico Sangiuliano, and a diverse mix of regional and international talent. The festival’s main programming will take place across October 9 and 10, while opening and closing events will be hosted at select venues throughout Cairo.
“It is a great honor to be invited to bring the premium festival concept near one of the grandest monuments in human history. 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. We are especially pleased to have Venture Lifestyle as our partner on this project, given their reputation for delivering exceptional events in the region.” – Dušan Kovačević, founder and CEO of EXIT Festival
Starlight Festival is set to deliver a multi-sensory experience featuring more than five stages and themed zones, along with an advanced VR installation first introduced at Expo Dubai. While the Great Pyramids will serve as the event’s breathtaking backdrop, the festival will be held from a specially designated nearby location developed to respect and preserve the historical significance of the UNESCO-recognized site.
