Among the festival’s most anticipated names is „Seth Troxler“, the Detroit-born DJ and producer who will perform at the opening night of Galactica NYE. Joining him is „Raresh“, a cult figure of the Romanian scene and member of the [a:rpia:r] trio, appearing for the occasion in a b2b with „Francesco
Del Garda“, the Berlin-based Italian DJ. Closing the programme for 27 December is another four-handed set by „GNMR“ — Gianmaria Coccoluto — and „Marcolino“.

The heart of Galactica NYE is the special New Year’s Eve event on 31. December: 12 uninterrupted hours of music — from 10 p.m. until the following morning — featuring major international club figures alongside Cocoricò’s renowned residents and artists from the Galactica roster. In the
iconic Pyramid, the arrival of 2026 will be welcomed with the industrial techno of Dutch artist „Hades“, followed by the harder sounds of masked German performer „Holy Priest“. Also talented Treviso-born
artist „Lorenzo Raganzini“ will play live, while „Mattia Trani“ joins forces with „T78“ for a back-to-back set. On Cocoricò’s Main Stage, the line-up includes DJ sets by „Daisy“, „Onlynumbers“ and „V111“.

Headlining the night of Thursday, 1 January are „Planet Funk“, the legendary multi-platinum Italian project behind hits like „Chase the Sun“ and „Inside All the People“. In the Pyramid they will present their World Premiere DJ set. That same evening, along with a DJ set by „Cirillo“, creator of Memorabilia, the London scene brings in producer and label owner „Archie Hamilton“, performing b2b with fellow Birmingham rising star „Fleur Shore“. Joining them are „Idriss D“ and „Ale De Tuglie“, while the T-Room hosts Dutch duo „Toxic Machinery“, „Davyboy“ and the duo „Ankhh“.

Closing the Galactica NYE Festival on Monday, 5 January, the powerful and dark hard-techno of „Fantasm“ takes over:

alongside the US producer, the final night in the Pyramid will also feature performances by „Gianni Di Bernardo“, „Kymera“ and „Karah“.
