We Belong Here Confirms New Orleans Debut Lineup, Led by ODESZA, Carl Cox and Steve Angello

ODESZA, Carl Cox and Steve Angello Lead the Main Stage

We Belong Here, the event brand built around community and inclusivity, has finalized the lineup for its first New Orleans festival, anchoring the weekend on ODESZA, Carl Cox and Steve Angello. Friday is headlined by an ODESZA DJ set, Saturday features a three-hour Carl Cox sunset set alongside a Steve Angello performance, and Sammy Virji closes the weekend on Sunday, with BLOND:ISH, Max Styler, ChaseWest, Andre Power, Apex Martin, Coco & Breezy, Madison Park, Robbie Doherty, Simon Doty, Styro and Supertaste (DJ Set) rounding out the programming.

Set De Flo Takes Over a Third Stage

The most distinctive addition is a weekend-long stage takeover by Set De Flo, the New Orleans-born underground dance collective and label founded by KILOBAUUD in 2017 and co-produced by vick trochez since 2022. Local artists Kristina Kay Robinson and Mike Hazel are designing the stage itself, while KILOBAUUD, VICKTROLA, TOPAZ TEARS and CHURCHWIIG host throughout the weekend. "Set De Flo has always been a space for highlighting the underground and Black counterculture in New Orleans and across the South," KILOBAUUD, founder of Set De Flo, said in the announcement.

Marshall Jefferson Joins a House-Heavy Bill

Also newly added to the 360 Main Stage is Marshall Jefferson, the Chicago house pioneer credited as one of the genre's founding figures and producer behind the 1986 anthem "Move Your Body." His addition gives the weekend a direct link to house music's origins alongside the current names driving the genre forward, reinforcing the festival's stated focus on the Black origins of dance music.

A New Orleans Stage for 30+ Local Acts

More than 30 New Orleans artists are set to perform across the weekend, including Avea De Lune, Breakline, Bouffant Bouffant, C'est Funk, C-Lab, Da$on, DJ87, Dr. Romance, Flamingeaux, Josh Heller, Kristina Kay Robinson, Legatron Prime, Merger, Mike Hvzel, Mr. Bones, Nile Ashton, Qbaby Worldwide, Sana, Shlomo, Sillva, and Xsomnia B2B DJ Hondo. The breadth of regional programming marks a deliberate effort to widen the festival's footprint while spotlighting the artists and communities that built New Orleans' dance music scene.

A Riverfront Debut in the Crescent City

The event runs November 13–15, 2026 at Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park, set along the Mississippi River with the French Quarter as a backdrop. It marks We Belong Here's first New Orleans edition and its latest expansion following festivals in Miami, New York and Tampa Bay, with the brand's signature 360-degree stage design playing out in a setting unlike any of its previous markets.

How the Lineup Came Together

The November bill builds on a roster first revealed in June, which had already announced the ODESZA DJ set, the Carl Cox sunset set, Steve Angello, Sammy Virji, BLOND:ISH, Max Styler and ChaseWest. The current expansion adds the third stage, the Set De Flo takeover, Marshall Jefferson on the 360 Main Stage and the full slate of more than 30 local artists announced for the weekend.
