Bob Sinclar, MEDUZA, Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky, Franky Rizardo, and more lead the festival’s first wave roster for March 17–21, 2027.
SXM Festival is marking its 10th edition with a five-day celebration across the Caribbean island of St. Martin, returning from March 17–21, 2027. The Phase One lineup brings together French house favorite Bob Sinclar, electronic trio MEDUZA, progressive house pioneer Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky (Disco Dom), and Franky Rizardo, with Guy Gerber, Patrick Topping, Dennis Cruz, Chelina Manuhutu, Deer Jade, Matt Sassari, and Max Styler also joining the bill.
Rather than centering the fest around a single site, SXM once again turns the island itself into its dancefloor, with programming spread across beaches, villas, clubs, hilltops and other locations on both the French and Dutch sides of St. Martin.
This is the approach has been central to the festival since its debut in 2016 – creating a format where daytime beach sessions can lead into sunset parties, club sets and unexpected gatherings throughout the week. The fest has welcomed established names including Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, Bonobo and Richie Hawtin in previous editions while continuing to spotlight emerging artists.
“From the beginning, I never wanted SXM to be the biggest festival. I wanted people to go home with stories they would still be telling years later. You come for the music, but then the island takes over. You discover places you didn’t know existed, meet people you never expected to meet, and suddenly you’re watching the sun come up with friends you made two days ago. Ten editions later, that feeling is still there. Protecting it is what matters most to me.” – Julian Prince, SXM Festival Founder
The 2027 lineup continues SXM’s emphasis on a curated mix of established artists, respected selectors, and fresh talent, with each act selected to fit the setting and atmosphere of the island. Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and the later interruption caused by the pandemic, the festival has continued to return, with local crews, venues, restaurants, hotels, drivers and other businesses remaining an important part of the event.
With guests arriving from more than 58 countries in recent editions, SXM is using their 10th edition to not only celebrate the relationship between SXM and St. Martin itself, but to applaud the artists, island partners, and international community that have shaped the event while preparing for another decade of music, discovery, and unexpected moments. More artists, parties and anniversary experiences are expected to be announced in the coming months.
