Wakaan Music Festival is Liquid Stranger's personally curated bass-music festival — the flagship event for one of the most influential bass labels in the world. Returning to Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas for three days from October 1–3, 2026 (with a Pre-Party on September 30), Wakaan has built its reputation as the U.S. South's most ambitious bass festival and the gathering where the entire Wakaan label roster converges for the weekend that defines their year.
The 2026 lineup is announced in phases through the summer, with the booking team led by Liquid Stranger consistently landing both Wakaan-label artists and the deepest touring bass producers in the country. Past Wakaan Festivals have featured Liquid Stranger, LSDREAM, CharlestheFirst, Of The Trees, Eprom, Subtronics, G Jones, Bleep Bloop, Mersiv, and the broader bass-music heavyweight roster — and 2026 promises a similarly stacked bill anchored by the label's signature heavy and experimental bass sound.
Mulberry Mountain is a private 750-acre property in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas — one of the most beautiful and acoustically isolated festival venues in the U.S. South. The combination of mountain terrain, dense forest, full on-site camping, and the kind of dedicated festival infrastructure refined across multiple years makes Wakaan a uniquely immersive bass-music experience. The 18+ format keeps the crowd dialed-in, and the four-day length (including Pre-Party) lets you genuinely live in the festival rather than burn through a weekend.
