Mexico City’s Hipnosis Festival has revealed its complete 2026 lineup.

The psychedelic and alternative festival returns on 7 November 2026, with Future Islands, Kim Gordon and Melvins among the biggest names on the bill.

Who is playing Hipnosis Festival 2026?

The 12-act lineup includes:

Future Islands, Kim Gordon, Melvins, Sunn O))), The Lemon Twigs, Connan Mockasin, Jonathan Bree, Levitation Room, Wine Lips, YHWH Nailgun, Laboratorios Moreno and Fontän.

It’s a remarkably focused poster.

Rather than trying to cover pop, hip-hop, EDM and rock simultaneously, Hipnosis has built the festival around psychedelic, experimental, noise, garage and alternative music.

Kim Gordon and Melvins bring alternative music history

Kim Gordon gives the lineup one of its most influential names.

Her work with Sonic Youth helped shape decades of alternative and experimental rock, while her solo career has pushed even further into noisy and unconventional territory.

Melvins and Sunn O))) push the festival towards heavier sounds.

Then Future Islands provide something completely different again with their distinctive combination of synth-pop and alternative music.

Mac DeMarco plays the night before

There’s another useful SEO angle around the festival.

Mac DeMarco will perform a special Road to Hipnosis concert on 6 November, the night before the main festival.

Access is available as an add-on to Hipnosis tickets.

That effectively gives visitors the option of turning Hipnosis into a two-night event.

When is Hipnosis Festival 2026?
