Bicep, Daphni and Kim Gordon Lead Massive Making Time ∞ 2026 Lineup

Making Time ∞, pronounced “Making Time Forever,” has officially unveiled its lineup for the 2026 edition of the festival.

The expansive lineup includes more than 120 DJs, producers, and live performers, led by Bicep, who will play their only Americas performance of 2026 at the festival. Other major names on the bill include Daphni, Skee Mask, Kim Gordon, Theo Parrish, Smerz, Avalon Emerson, Octo Octa b2b with Eris Drew, Daniel Avery, Optimo (Espacio) and many more artists spanning the electronic, experimental and underground music worlds.

Making Time ∞ returns to Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia from Sept. 18 through Sept. 20. Attendance remains capped at just 3,000 people, preserving the intimate and community driven atmosphere the festival has become known for. Tickets are currently on sale, with fee free ticket options available through The Lot Radio in Brooklyn and Middle Child Clubhouse in Philadelphia.

Festival founder and producer Dave P explained that this year’s programming reflects both the future and original spirit of Making Time.

“This year’s Making Time ∞ lineup sets its sights on the future whilst also harkening back to the origins of Making Time,” he said. “When I started Making Time in the year 2000, the party was based around booking live performances from bands like The Strokes, Interpol, Bloc Party and LCD Soundsystem alongside DJs. This year I’ve booked more live performances than ever before.”

Since launching more than two decades ago, Making Time has built a reputation as one of the United States’ most respected independent electronic music festivals. The event continues focusing on underground club culture, influential pioneers, emerging artists and the grassroots energy that has remained central to its identity since day one.
