Sasha, John Digweed and Carl Cox lead Pavilion Festival line-up in 2026

Wave two of Pavilion Festival’s line-up has been announced, bolstering the electronic festival with some of the genre’s leading talents. Taking place from Saturday 2 & Sunday 3 May, tickets for the festival are available now. 

Leading the line-up is a back-to-back from Sasha and John Digweed in their only Scottish performance next year. They’ll be joined by DJing luminary Carl Cox, the UK’s leading (and perhaps longest serving) house and techno tastemaker. 

A crowd-pleasing choice is Alison Limerick, the songwriter who’s riding high after soundtracking this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert. Limerick said: ‘As ever, I look forward to sharing the love (again) on what will be a great day. Get ready, Pavilion. Here we come.’ 

Also on the bill is electronica pioneer Leftfield, Scotland’s own La La, MK (Mark Kinchen) and local hero Ewan McVicar, who founded the festival in 2023 to help foster a powerful music scene in Ayrshire. 

Speaking of McVicar, Neil Barnes from Leftfield said: ‘Ewan has brought a proper sense of community and chaos back to club culture. Pavilion feels raw, grassroots, and uniquely Scottish. I’m just buzzing to be part of what he’s created.’
