SUNRiCE 2026
SUNRiCE festival enters its 11th edition. We are returning after a strong previous year and building on what worked: sound, space, community, the visual world, two stages and careful respect for the place.
This year adds another layer: the festival game, more activities for kids, a repaired lake, a calm tea house, a food zone and practical facilities to make the whole weekend easier.

Camp / Parking
The Canva materials include several options depending on whether you want to be close to the music or prefer quiet below the hill.

Chillout
Brazilian live act and one of the first announced names for SUNRiCE 2026.
KADUM LIVE brings Brazilian energy and a live psytrance set built on pressure, movement and the moment. This is the kind of name that does not need a long explanation: press play, lift your head and let the dancefloor work.
Another announced name in this year’s lineup.
HONGOS LONGOS is already among the announced names for this year. I do not have a safely matched framed photo in the new banner pack, so this card keeps a placeholder and does not use an uncertain profile or someone else’s image.
Resident leak and a name connected to the home SUNRiCE energy.
kW-asar, also known as Kwasar, is a home resident and a name directly connected to our SUNRiCE energy. He belongs to the part of the lineup that does not need unnecessary noise around it, but knows exactly when to push and when to let the space breathe.
Slovak melodic psytrance DJ and producer based in London, member of Ik-Tek Records.
DR. LU is a melodic psytrance DJ and producer from Slovakia, now based in London. Her style blends rhythm, emotion, energy and strong melodies with influences from Indian and Middle Eastern folklore and old-school dance music. She started mixing in 2022, has played across the UK and Europe, and since 2023 she has been part of Ik-Tek Records. Her debut single Power of Hope was released in May 2025.
Libor Fiala from Púchov, member of Psyalaska Tribe Slovakia, hypnotic groovy night psytrance.
Libor Fiala aka DJ Liborski comes from Púchov and has been behind the decks since 2005. He started in Shaka club with progressive house played purely from vinyl, but psy music had always been close to him. After moving to Austria he expanded to regional events, and since 2020 he has been fully dedicated to psytrance. Today he is part of Psyalaska Tribe Slovakia. His sound is hypnotic, groovy night psytrance with smooth mixes and hypnotic harmony.
Our president, one of the founding fathers and a piece of SUNRiCE DNA connected to Butchers Bay Crew.
Daniel Binarstorm is our president, one of the founding fathers and one of the people without whom SUNRiCE would not be what it is. He has been connected to SUNRiCE from the roots until today. And the same goes for Butchers Bay Crew: that is not them, that is us. A crew connected to music, visuals, deco and the overall atmosphere around our events. Daniel is not just part of the lineup. He is part of the story.
DJ, decorator, crew gigolo, a permanent festival fixture and lover of old wrecks.
FLSON is one of the festival’s permanent fixtures. His first touch with electronic music came in 2002 at indoor techno parties. Since 2009 he has been involved in events as a DJ, later also as decorator and organizer. Since 2012 he has been part of Butchers Bay Crew. From techno, tekno and dnb, his path moved toward daytime progressive psytrance: playful, carefully selected and very much his own. Outside music, he is a lifelong lover of old wrecks.
Vitor Fernandes from London. A euphoric psychedelic project from melodic full-on to happy hi-tech.
Xalala a.k.a. Loud Dance is a euphoric psychedelic project that shifted from DJ sets to live sets in 2024. Behind the name is Vitor Fernandes, currently based in London, with a sound moving from melodic full-on to happy hi-tech and a clear love for Full-on Night. He has appeared at events such as IllumiNaughty: 20 Years of Chaos, Forbidden Jungle, Psy Gypsies: Psyvolution vol. 2, Pandora’s Box and Savage Hippiez - Cloud 9.
A banger from the German psytrance scene. DJ, artist, producer, designer and a hybrid stylistic ride.
LEOCITAS is another banger from the German psytrance scene. DJ, artist, producer, designer, calligraphy, graffiti, bodyart, photography, videography, editing and healthy vibes. His musical path started with instruments, voice and production, and later fully moved behind the decks in Berlin. His style runs through teknoid, groovy, funny, funky, hard and faster psy, but also chill and relaxxx moods. Variety all the way.
One of the founders and our best-known name, reaching far beyond the boundaries of the festival.
ARNIE is one of the names connected to SUNRiCE from the beginning. One of the founders, one of those names that simply belongs to the whole thing, and at the same time our best-known name reaching far beyond the festival itself. Music has been part of his whole life: from music school through brass orchestra, bass guitar, rap crew and vinyl collecting all the way to chillout and psytrance. His selection is organic, folkloric, progressive, diverse and truly his own.
More than 30 years on the electronic scene, psytrance since 2000, hi-tech since 2010.
DJ Cybernetixx has been active on the electronic dance scene for more than 30 years. It started with techno in 1991, then through other branches of electronic music he fully moved into psytrance in 2000 and added hi-tech in 2010. After moving to Brno he became part of the local scene and over the years played clubs, open airs and festivals across the Czech scene and beyond. After building his studio he also started creating music under the project Neural Spectrum.
One of the founding fathers, Drtek, Butchers Bay Crew and SUNRiCE resident.
DAFFY is one of the founding fathers. He started DJing in 2007 as a member of Drtek crew, helping create the Olomouc Epilepsia parties. From drum and bass and tekkno, he gradually moved into psytrance after his first psytrance festival in 2010. Then came Butchers Bay Crew, the SUNRiCE team and years that made him a solid part of our story. Today he plays more recreationally, but at SUNRiCE he is still at home.

If you want to show your art, host a workshop or teach others something, write to us and we will figure something out.
Map
The main route leads from Lipová-lázně railway station to Ski Areál Miroslav. During the day you can also head into the surroundings, because the Jeseníky mountains around the festival are a big part of the whole atmosphere.
You do not have to use only the traditional route. These are this year’s alternative links for people arriving on foot and by car. The links open in Mapy.com.
Routes for arriving by car if you do not want to use only the standard way.
Options for those who want to arrive by a different way than the main route.
Links to parking by Faunapark for people who want to leave the car lower and walk up.
