SXM Festival unveils 10th edition lineup led by Bob Sinclar, MEDUZA and Sasha

SXM Festival's 10th edition dates and setting

SXM Festival has unveiled the first wave of artists for its milestone 10th edition, scheduled for March 17–21, 2027 on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Since launching in 2016, the event has spread across both the French and Dutch sides of the island over five days, using beaches, villas, clubs, hilltops and other venues rather than a single festival site. Organizers describe the format as an entire island becoming part of the festival experience.

Headliners and the first wave

French house veteran Bob Sinclar, global electronic trio MEDUZA and progressive house pioneer Sasha top the initial lineup announcement. The first wave also includes Claptone, Franky Rizardo, Guy Gerber and Dombresky, billed under his "Disco Dom" alias, alongside additional artists positioned as a new generation shaping the international electronic music scene.

Curated identity and festival philosophy

SXM organizers emphasized that the lineup is built through curation rather than scale, pairing established names with respected selectors and emerging talent. Past editions have featured artists such as Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, Bonobo and Richie Hawtin, with the festival using previous editions to introduce rising acts at pivotal career moments. The stated guiding principle is that every booking must suit the island, the venue and the specific moment.

What remains to be announced

The September 24, 2026 announcement covers the first wave of the 2027 lineup, with additional artists and event programming expected to be revealed in the months leading up to the festival. Further schedule details, venue mapping across the French and Dutch sides, and ticket information were not included in the initial announcement.
