There are standard concert venues, and then there are sacred spaces. For the global electronic music community, affectionately known as the Anjunafamily, few places hold as much emotional and spiritual weight as The Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State. It has been nearly a decade since the canyon walls echoed with the emotional highs of ABGT250 in 2017, an event that transitioned from a mere milestone celebration into a legendary pilgrimage. Now, Jono, Tony, and Paavo, the members of Above & Beyond, have officially unveiled the full artist lineup for ABGT700, taking place from September 11–13, 2026.
ABGT700 arrives on the heels of a monumental chapter for the trio. Having just released their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, ‘Bigger Than All Of Us,’ and fresh off a massive world tour that spanned major global stages like Coachella, Above & Beyond are operating at the peak of their creative powers. ‘‘Bigger Than All Of Us’ leaned heavily into themes of reconnection, healing, and community. There is perhaps no venue on earth that can better manifest those concepts than The Gorge. Looking out over the vast Columbia River as the sun sets, surrounded by thousands of like-minded souls, the music transcends the speakers. It becomes a shared human experience.
The ABGT700 lineup is a beautifully curated bridge between Anjuna’s foundational legends and the brilliant minds shaping its future. Spread across three days, the programming offers a perfect sonic journey through deep house, progressive, and euphoric trance. Throughout the latest episodes of Group Therapy, members listened in on clues about the lineup. This lineup brings old and new talent from Anjunabeats and Ajunadeep labels, bringing Group Therapy 700 a full-circle moment for the artists and fans.
On Friday night, September 11, kicks off with a rare, highly anticipated Above & Beyond Deep Set, setting a cinematic, emotional tone for the weekend alongside Amy Wiles and a special Grum back-to-backJ Ribbon performance. Saturday, September 12, shifts into high gear, transforming the canyon into a hotbed of mainstage energy. Expect driving progressive beats and euphoric peaks with sets from legends like Oliver Smith, ilan Bluestone, and Mat Zo. Darren Tate and Grum will also bring their music to life with dynamic live sets, alongside Nourey and J Ribbon. Sunday, September 13, pivots to the deeper, atmospheric textures of the Anjunadeep world. Global phenomenon Ben Böhmer leads the charge, alongside progressive heavyweights Marsh and HANA. Label bosses James Grant and Jody Wisternoff will undoubtedly deliver a masterclass in deep progression, while Rezident, Because of Art, and a back-to-back set from Durante and Ezequiel Arias will provide the perfect soundtrack for a Sunday sunset.
What sets the Group Therapy milestone events apart from standard festival bookings is the emphasis on the experience outside of the music. ABGT700 is leaning heavily into the "destination" aspect of The Gorge. The weekend features a robust schedule of community-focused programming. Attendees can recharge with fitness and wellbeing experiences, participate in creative workshops, or explore crafts and games. For those looking to keep the energy going, campsite afterparties and a silent disco will run late into the night. There will even be an "Anjunachill" area for moments of reflection, and a glam bar to get festival-ready.

For the die-hard collectors, the announcement also brought news of exclusive VIP merchandise packages. While the major VIP tiers have already sold out, remaining Early Entry Packages will grant holders access to a rare piece of Anjuna history: a limited-edition ABGT700 7” picture disc vinyl. The vinyl features two absolute anthems: “Carry Me Home” featuring Zoë Johnston and “Start A Fire” featuring Richard Bedford. Packaged with a custom tote bag, commemorative lanyard, and a digitally signed poster, it’s a brilliant nod to the band's identity as songwriters and producers first, and DJs second.
Described by Q Magazine as "the world's biggest cult band," Above & Beyond’s footprint is truly global. From selling out Madison Square Garden and the Sydney Opera House to pulling over 300,000 livestream viewers for ABGT600 in Mexico City, their reach is undeniable. For those unable to make the trek to Washington State, the Group Therapy radio magic will remain fully accessible. The entire ABGT700 broadcast will be live-streamed in full across the weekend, allowing fans worldwide to connect via YouTube, Twitch, Discord, and Reddit using the hashtag #ABGT700.
Whether you are standing on the precipice of the canyon or watching from a screen thousands of miles away, ABGT700 promises to be a reminder of why we fell in love with this music in the first place: because when the world feels fragmented, Group Therapy proves we are always better together.
Further artist announcements and specific programming details will be revealed in the coming months. Head over to ABGT700.live to grab remaining tickets and packages before they're gone.

Every artist has a line they won't cross. For Bosnia-born, Hamburg-raised electronic giant Solomun, that line was geographical. For over ten years, the Diynamic Music boss adhered to a strict, self-imposed summer boundary that once the Ibiza season starts, you do not cross time zones. No transatlantic flights, no grueling long-hauls, and absolutely no leaving […]
