EXIT and P+US are bringing Starlight Festival to Egypt for the very first time this October, introducing a four-day electronic music experience across Cairo and the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Taking place from 8 to 11 October 2026, the festival will begin with a Welcome Party in Cairo on October 8, followed by two main event days at the Great Pyramids of Giza on October 9 and 10, before closing with a Farewell Party in Cairo on October 11. More details about the welcome and farewell parties are still to be announced.
Starlight Festival is described as a multi-day gathering for the global electronic music community, bringing together world-class artists, immersive performances, and large-scale production under Egypt’s ancient desert sky.
The main festival experience at the Pyramids will feature 50+ artists across 3+ stages, creating a rare collision between ancient history and futuristic electronic music production.
The first wave of the lineup has already been revealed, featuring major names including Adriatique, Michael Bibi, Vintage Culture, Pete Tong, Awen, Deep Jade, Fiona Kraft, Floyd Lavine, Layla Benitez, and more, with additional artists still to be announced.
Ticket demand is already strong, with Standing and VIP Early Bird tickets sold out. The final Backstage Early Bird tickets are currently available before moving to the next phase, offering savings of up to 65%.
With EXIT’s international festival legacy and P+US’ growing presence in Egypt, Starlight Festival is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious electronic music projects coming to the country in 2026 — not just as a Pyramids event, but as a wider multi-day experience across Cairo.
