Is there still a chance Alesso will come to Ultra Europe 2026?
So, I will be going to Ultra Europe this summer. It will be the first EDM festival I’ve ever attended. I was really hoping to see Alesso since he’s by far my favorite DJ. However, after Phase 2 dropped yesterday I’m a bit heartbroken. He’s still not on the lineup 💔
I understand that the lineup is already insane, but I genuinely thought Alesso would be there 😔 During the last couple of months, Ultra Europe has made multiple hints on Instagram that made it seem like he might come:
Alesso also doesn’t have any other shows during the Ultra Europe dates (July 10–12), even though he’ll already be in Europe:
He has played at Ultra Europe almost every year except 2024 (when he was dealing with health issues), 2017, and 2013. I thought he was more or less guaranteed to be there this year.
I listened to his entire Red Rocks set yesterday, and then an hour later I saw that Phase 2 had dropped… and he wasn’t there 💔
I’m trying to stay hopeful since Phase 3 hasn’t dropped yet, but from what I’ve heard Phase 3 usually focuses more on support artists rather than major headliners.
I know I'm overreacting and should just enjoy the lineup for what it is, but do you guys still think there’s a realistic chance Alesso gets announced for Ultra Europe this year? 🙏
