Wildlands is making fans work for its lineup this year.
We're used to festival lineups dropping via Instagram, but this year the festival has opted for something a little more interactive. On July 15, Wildlands shared a cryptic post teasing the first artist on its 2026 lineup, instructing followers to call a dedicated hotline (i'ts 1900-WILDLANDS) to actually uncover the reveal.

We'll save you the call and skip straight to the announcement: WORSHIP is the first name on the 2026 lineup. The four-person group has built a devoted following thanks to its blend of melodic techno and house, and you might have seen them popping up at several major festivals around the world recently.
That teaser was followed by another on July 23, which introduced Edgar, one of this year's Wildlands monster characters. Most importantly, however, this video was soundtracked to a song from KI/KI (Getting Ready For The Party) – another clue to this year's lineup.
