Dirty Little Secret (DLS) Lineup
Dirty Little Secret at El Paradiso Beach Club has become Zante's wildest midweek party experience, and the 2026 lineup is absolutely stacked with talent. With banging beats, fire breathers, professional dancers, and ultimate summer vibes, DLS has carved out a reputation as the Wednesday night destination that defines Zante's underground house music scene.
DLS Confirmed Performances:
Josh Baker - Wednesday, July 8th
One of Manchester's most exciting house music exports headlines DLS in peak summer. Through his label You&Me Records, the cutting-edge Hide&Seek Festival, and his SYNTHO production school, Josh Baker is actively shaping the future of house music. He's played iconic venues including Sankeys, Warehouse Project, and Mint Warehouse, and performed at Parklife, establishing himself as a true innovator.
Known for creating electrifying, journey-like sets that draw fans worldwide, Baker's meticulous track selection and mastery of transitions make his performances stand out. His July 8th appearance is one of the most anticipated events of the summer.
Max Dean - Wednesday, July 15th
Following Josh Baker's headline performance, Max Dean brings his high-energy sound to DLS right in the heart of peak season. Max Dean has been making serious waves in the electronic music scene, and his July appearance promises to be one of the standout moments of the summer, representing the level of world-class talent DLS attracts.
Gaskin & LP Rythem - Additional DLS Dates
Two powerhouse DJs who've become synonymous with quality house music in Zante. Gaskin delivers infectious energy and impeccable track selection, while LP Rythem's dynamic sets and production prowess have made him one of the most talked-about names in the scene. Both will be appearing at select DLS events throughout the season.
How to Get DLS Tickets
Important: Dirty Little Secret events are best booked in person once you arrive in Zante. While you might see DLS mentioned in various packages, the smartest approach is to secure your tickets locally for several key reasons:
Better pricing: Street teams and local reps often have access to deals not available online
Last-minute availability: DLS frequently releases additional tickets close to event dates
Package flexibility: Easier to combine with other Wednesday night plans
VIP upgrades: Table bookings and bottle service are arranged more efficiently in person
Look for DLS promoters on the Laganas Strip, or ask at popular bars and beach clubs for ticket information. The local scene is well-connected, and scoring tickets in Zante is part of the authentic experience.
The White Party - Lineup TBA
Every Sunday from June through mid-September, The White Party at Karma Day Club remains Zante's signature event and most prestigious weekly party. Running from 6pm to 11pm, this legendary event attracts crowds of up to 5,000 people each week.
While the 2026 DJ lineup is still to be announced, The White Party consistently books the biggest budget DJ lineup in Zante every summer. Previous seasons have featured international house music legends including MK, Ben Hemsley, Solardo, DJ EZ, Prospa, Sam Divine, Danny Howard, Hannah Laing, and Schak - setting the standard for what to expect in 2026.
With its stunning Karma Day Club location, all-white dress code, live entertainment including saxophonists, percussionists, fire shows, and dancers, The White Party offers a complete sensory experience that goes beyond just music. This is the event that defines Zante summer luxury.
The White Party 2026 lineup announcement is eagerly anticipated and expected to drop in the coming weeks.
