SXM Festival Reveals Landmark 10th Edition Lineup
Five days. One island. An extraordinary dancefloor. SXM Festival has officially revealed the first wave of artists for its landmark 10th edition, set to take place from 17–21 March 2027 on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. The Phase One lineup features an impressive array of electronic music heavyweights, including Bob Sinclar, MEDUZA, Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky (Disco Dom), Franky Rizardo, and Brunello. They are joined by a stellar supporting cast featuring Guy Gerber, Patrick Topping, Dennis Cruz, Chelina Manuhutu, Deer Jade, Matt Sassari, and Max Styler.
A Decade of Island Immersion
Since its inception in 2016, SXM Festival has cultivated a reputation for an immersive experience that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Rather than relying on a single festival site, the event transforms the entire island of St. Martin into a sprawling, multi-faceted dancefloor. Over the course of five days, attendees navigate between pristine beaches, private villas, intimate clubs, and scenic hilltops across both the French and Dutch sides of the island. For the 10th anniversary, the festival returns to its core philosophy: combining exceptional music with extraordinary locations to foster a sense of discovery.
Curating the Sound of St. Martin
Music remains the heartbeat of the SXM experience. The 2027 lineup continues the festival’s tradition of balancing established icons with emerging talent. By inviting artists who resonate with the unique atmosphere of the Caribbean, the organizers ensure that every performance feels intentional. Past editions have hosted legends like Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, and Bonobo, and the 2027 edition promises to uphold this high standard of curation.
From the beginning, I never wanted SXM to be the biggest festival. I wanted people to go home with stories they would still be telling years later. You come for the music, but then the island takes over. You discover places you didn’t know existed, meet people you never expected to meet, and suddenly you’re watching the sun come up with friends you made two days ago. Ten editions later, that feeling is still there. Protecting it is what matters most to me. — Julian Prince, SXM Festival Founder
Community and Sustainability
The relationship between the festival and St. Martin is deeply rooted in mutual support. From rallying during the recovery efforts following Hurricane Irma in 2017 to navigating the challenges of the pandemic, the festival has remained a steadfast partner to the local community. Today, the event continues to drive significant economic impact by engaging local suppliers, venues, and businesses, ensuring that sustainability is viewed through both an environmental and a social lens.
As SXM enters its second decade, it remains committed to its founding spirit: bringing an international community together through music and the freedom to explore. With further artist announcements and anniversary experiences to be revealed in the coming months, the 10th edition is shaping up to be a defining moment in the festival’s history.
