Skyline is back in Los Angeles, and Factory 93 is not playing around for year 5 of the festival. Don’t miss out on two days of house and techno at their new ACE*Mission Studios venue, with a stacked lineup from open to close (and after).
Dates: Saturday, February 28th + Sunday, March 1st, 2026
Ages: 21+
With the festival quickly approaching at the end of this month, here are 10 sets we’re definitely not missing.
1. Beltran
The Brazilian wave is very real, and Beltran is one of the names at the forefront pushing it the hardest. If you haven’t heard “Smack Yo” by now, you seriously need to get out from under a rock. His sets are funky, fun, and punchy live, and he’s constantly dropping IDs, you never really know what he’s going to pull out next.
2. Chris Stussy
One of the cleanest grooves on the lineup, Chris Stussy is known for piano keys and melodic, entrancing beats. He keeps the dance floor rolling every time he plays in LA, and killed it at Skyline 2024, so the anticipation is high for his return. Chris Stussy’s influence can be heard all over the modern UK wave, he’s inspired and helped bring up a generational of crazy talented artists coming out of that scene.
3. Dennis Cruz
If you’re chasing that Ibiza-style sound in LA, don’t miss this one. Dennis Cruz brings pure club energy with steady pressure that never lets the room breathe too long. He rocked the Historic Sears Building last October B3B with Solid Grooves brothers Michael Bibi and PAWSA, and if you were there, you already know how serious that was. He’s also half of the legendary duo GOLFOS, which tells you exactly what kind of pace and attitude you’re getting. Dennis Cruz is playing the on-site Warehouse afters at this year’s Skyline Festival, don’t miss the afterparty king in his element.
4. Marco Carola
A legendary booking, Marco drips aura. The type of set that feels rare to see in the US, and that could only land properly among the crowd at Skyline. Marco Carola had a seamless set at his last Skyline appearance in 2024. The “Music On” label boss dominates house music from Ibiza to Miami Music Week, and usually accompanied by a booth full of baddies.
5. 999999999
Hard, fast, savage. If you want a break from all the house music and a set that turns the night into chaos, this is the set. Catering to LA’s acid techno scene, the 999999999 duo are going to unleash madness upon Skyline Festival.
6. I Hate Models
I Hate Models is infamous in the Techno world for his infectious raw energy. High intensity, high energy, and one of the best “hands up” techno moments we will get all weekend. He’s huge in Europe and just as big in LA, having crushed stages like HARD last Summer, EDC Las Vegas, and having headlined Ultra last year in 2025. If you’re needing a set that feels like a full release, prioritize this.
7. KI/KI
A breakout name with crazy motion. If you’re tapped into the euro-trance wave, this is the set you need to see. Expect to hear euphoric, rave-forward energy that just hits different live. Especially in a Skyline crowd that can actually appreciate the music they are listening to.
8. ChaseWest
Love him or hate him, ChaseWest is undeniable. A true born and raised party animal, he definitely knows how to work a crowd. This is one of those sets that are just straight fun, and sometimes that’s exactly what your weekend needs.
9. Richie Hawtin
One of the most important names in modern techno. This is the kind of set you think about for years after, because he’s not just playing tracks, he’s building a room and guiding a journey. If you don’t listen to Richie Hawtin yet, you will regret missing this goat in a couple years when you realize how rare it is to catch him.
10. Joseph Capriati
A heavy-weight techno giant. Capriati has big crowd control, and an even bigger live presence, this is the kind of set you won’t shut up to your friends about after. Hard-hitting pressure without losing the groove, and a perfect booking for when you need your energy kept high on Day 2.
BONUS- Chris Stussy B2B Marco Carola
A leaked Instagram Ad for Skyline revealed the special closing set will be none other than Chris Stussy B2B Marco Carola. This is a very rare set, which I’m not sure has ever even been done before. These two contrasting house sounds will be fascinating to see live. Skyline loves to treat its fans, like in 2024 where Marco Carola went B2B with PAWSA for an additional set. This year, don’t miss the rare sight (and sound) of Stussy B2B Carola.
