Palm Tree Music Festival was founded by Nick Gross and Chad Bronstein with a simple premise: what if a music festival felt less like a concert and more like the best party you've ever been to? The answer, it turns out, is Palm Tree — a traveling festival that has become the gold standard for luxury music experiences, and the most sought-after ticket in the world of electronic music.
The 2026 season is the most ambitious in the festival's history. Four events across three continents — Sardinia, Italy (July 31–August 1), Montreal, Canada (September 7), Napa Valley, California (October 2–3), and Montecito, California (October 10–11) — each with a lineup that reads like a who's-who of the world's best DJs and a production level that makes other festivals look like they're trying.
The Palm Tree formula is deceptively simple: intimate venues, world-class talent, premium hospitality, and a crowd that actually knows the music. No corporate sponsors plastered on every surface. No VIP areas that feel like a different event. Just great music, beautiful settings, and the kind of energy that comes from putting the right people in the right place at the right time. Fisher, John Summit, Diplo, and a rotating cast of the world's best selectors have all played Palm Tree sets that their fans still talk about years later.
NAPA VALLEY — OCTOBER 2–3, 2026
The Napa edition takes place at The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa Valley. Friday October 2 features Zedd, Disclosure (DJ set), Swimming Paul, Frank Walker, Rules, and AMPRS&ND. Saturday October 3 brings Kygo, Hugel & Friends, Coco & Breezy, and JLittle. Presented by Another Planet, Blue Note, and Palm Tree Crew.
MONTECITO — OCTOBER 10–11, 2026
The Montecito edition is held at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. Saturday October 10 features The Chainsmokers, Zedd, The All-American Rejects, and Natalie Jinju. Sunday October 11 brings Kygo, T-Pain, Loud Luxury, Frank Walker, and Myles O'Neal. Table reservations available at [email protected].
Palm Club — the festival's VIP table program — is already sold out for every 2026 event. General admission tickets for Napa are moving fast. "We create magical moments around the world," the Palm Tree team says. They're not wrong. Full info at palmtreemusicfestival.com.
