The largest stage at the festival, The Fortress is a dominant structure that has evolved steadily over time. Its design combines contemporary elements with a powerful visual identity. For 2026, the stage has been subtly refined to better align with the energy and atmosphere of Glitch.

Orbit is defined by its unique, multi-tiered structure, shaped around several stepped levels and distinctive split-level dance-floor pit that places the audience on a gradual incline. This layout brings the crowd closer to the performers, creating a sense of enclosure where artists are surrounded by the dance floor and directly connected to the energy of the space.

The Cosmic stage offers a contrasting setting within the festival grounds. Tucked amid trees, this stage creates a secluded atmosphere distinct from the rest of the festival grounds. Darkness and light define the environment, allowing the programming to move freely without fixed boundaries.

A new presence at the festival, Section brings its community-driven platform to Glitch for a two-day stream takeover.

Built around community, curation and connection, the platform has become a meeting point for electronic music culture in London and beyond. For the first time, Section steps beyond its London studio and into the festival grounds at Glitch.

From acid, electro, techno to house, as always, we like to shake things up a little here when curating the line-up, ensuring delightful surprises that resonate with the unparalleled energy of the crowd.

The ancient cave, with a history spanning hundreds of years, provides an ideal backdrop for performances that delve into deeper and more atmospheric techno & electro realms. The distinctive ambiance of this location is surreal, capable of transporting visitors to a bygone era and immersing them in a world reminiscent of times past.

From pool parties to tear jerking italo-disco moments, the Rooftop has always brought proceedings to a euphoric end. This year more artists have been confirmed to take control of our beloved Rooftop for more good times!

Race with the stars at the Midnite Stage. Following its debut in 2022, our friends from Midnite will be taking over this stage once again, hosting an array of talent from different corners of the electronic spectrum. Expect bright fast energy.

Hidden within untouched grounds of Gianpula Village, a new stage emerges for Glitch Festival’s 10th anniversary. Introducing the Vector Stage — hosted by Intercell. The Vector stage is a scenographic environment that explores direction, movement, and spatial energy through an enclosed multi-leveled structure designed with more room to dance. The result is a constantly evolving 360° sensory experience that shifts between shadow, rhythm, and motion.
