Joezi, Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and many more will also perform at this spectacular open-air venue in Marbella.
The brand-new 12:XII Festival will make its debut in Marbella on Friday, August 21, 2026, with a concept inspired by the theme “Beyond Time.” The inaugural edition of this exclusive one-day luxury event will be headlined by French superstar DJ Snake, alongside Joezi, Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin, and many more artists.
Created for those seeking a premium festival experience, 12:XII blends world-class music, high-end production, and Marbella’s unmistakable lifestyle. Nestled between the Mediterranean coastline and the Sierra Blanca mountains, Marbella has long been one of Europe’s premier luxury destinations, renowned for its legendary beach clubs, exceptional gastronomy, and world-class hotels.
The quality of the light, the warmth of the climate, and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean combine to create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. The charming old town, with its whitewashed buildings, bougainvillea-lined squares, and narrow streets, sits alongside a glamorous marina where superyachts, luxury boutiques, rooftop venues, and some of southern Spain’s finest restaurants create a truly unique leisure destination.
The festival will take place at an open-air venue that will be completely transformed with giant LED screens, CO₂ cannons, dynamic stage structures, a world-class sound system, and an exclusive elevated VIP and backstage area, all surrounded by palm trees beneath Marbella’s sunshine and the star-filled skies of the Costa del Sol.
Leading the lineup is DJ Snake, one of the most successful electronic artists of his generation. The French producer has amassed billions of streams through global hits including “Turn Down For What,” “Lean On,” “Taki Taki,” and “Let Me Love You,” while headlining some of the world’s biggest festivals and arenas.
Joining him is Joezi, whose emotive blend of Afro House and melodic electronic music has established him as one of the genre’s standout artists. The lineup is completed by Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin, with many more names set to be announced soon.
The festival takes its name from a connection first formed in December 2012, bringing together its founders’ expertise in electronic music, luxury hospitality, and creative direction to create a new annual event in Marbella.
The festival’s founder explains:
“Great brands are built around an idea, not an event. 12:XII was born from the belief that time is the ultimate luxury, and that one extraordinary night can live far beyond the moment itself. DJ Snake was the natural choice to open that story because true icons don’t just perform—they define generations.”
With its inaugural edition, 12:XII aims to become one of Marbella’s premier summer events, bringing together some of the biggest names in international electronic music in one of the Mediterranean’s most exclusive lifestyle destinations.
