Zante DJ Lineup 2026: Confirmed Artists, Events & How to Book

The Zante DJ lineup 2026 is finally here, and it's shaping up to be the most diverse and exciting season the Greek island has ever seen. From rising UK garage sensations to chart-topping house music legends, Zante is positioning itself as one of Europe's premier party destinations with a lineup that rivals Ibiza and Marbella.

If you're planning a Zante holiday for summer 2026, this comprehensive guide covers every confirmed DJ announcement, where they're playing, when to book tickets, and why this year's lineup represents a major evolution for the island's nightlife scene.

The Complete Zante 2026 DJ Lineup (Confirmed So Far)

ABODE at Pure Beach Club: The Thursday Night Revolution

ABODE has transformed Thursday nights in Zante into the island's most anticipated weekly event. The London-based house music brand brings over a decade of experience from venues like Studio 338 and Amnesia Ibiza, and their 2026 Zante residency at Pure Beach Club features an impressive mix of established names and rising stars.

Silva Bumpa - Thursday 18th June 2026

The biggest surprise of ABODE's 2026 season is Silva Bumpa's Zante debut on June 18th. This marks ABODE's first major UK garage and bassline headliner, representing a significant genre expansion for the traditionally tech-house focused event.

Why Silva Bumpa Matters:

Silva Bumpa (real name Harry Eagle) is a 23-year-old Sheffield-born DJ and producer who's taken the UK garage scene by storm. With 839,000+ monthly Spotify listeners and a deal with Columbia Records' Room 2 imprint, he's one of the fastest-rising names in UK dance music.

His breakthrough came with tracks like "What About The DJ?", "Without U" featuring Megan Wroe, and "I Don't Want U". His Boiler Room debut alongside legendary duo Skream & Benga in January 2024 went viral, and his subsequent UK and Australia tours both sold out months in advance.

What to Expect:

Silva Bumpa brings a completely different energy to ABODE's usual tech house programming. Expect:

• UK garage and speed garage at 145+ BPM

• Warped basslines specifically designed for Funktion-One sound systems

• Vocal-heavy anthems with singalong hooks reminiscent of 2000s garage classics

• Euphoric piano riffs and nostalgic samples

• Sheffield bassline and grime influences

The event runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, starting with sunset opening sets over the Ionian Sea and building to peak-time UK garage energy as darkness falls.

Tickets: Early bird £25, general admission £30-40. This is Silva Bumpa's only Greek island appearance in 2026, and based on his sell-out track record (UK tour sold out in days, Australia dates hit capacity months early), advance booking is essential.

Luke Dean - Thursday 9th July 2026

Luke Dean's ABODE Zante debut on July 9th represents one of the most exciting bookings of summer 2026. This rising UK house music star has exploded from bedroom DJ to international touring artist in just over five years, and his Zante appearance comes at the perfect moment in his career trajectory.

Luke Dean's Credentials:

With 2.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, Luke Dean has already performed at some of the world's most prestigious electronic music venues:

• Fabric London - The legendary venue where house music history is made

• DC10 Ibiza - The underground temple of the White Isle

• The Warehouse Project - Manchester's premier electronic music destination

• After Caposile - Italy's cutting-edge venue

He's shared stages with absolute legends including Kerri Chandler, Chris Stussy, and Locklead, and has performed at major events like Do Not Sleep, Solid Grooves, and Paradise in Ibiza, plus FLY Open Air in Scotland.

The Sound:

Luke Dean's production style draws deep inspiration from 90s Chicago house and classic garage, with influences from MJ Cole, Tod Edwards, and Grant Nelson. His music is characterised by:

• Chunky grooves and infectious basslines

• Hooky, bouncy elements that keep dance floors moving

• Seamless blending of underground credibility with main room appeal

• Technical precision in mixing and track selection

His tracks have been released on respected labels including Polydor, neXup, Belief, South, and MicroHertz. He's currently represented by UTA Music, firmly positioning him as one of the UK's most promising underground house talents.

Family Connection:

Interestingly, Luke Dean is the cousin of Max Dean, another rising name in the underground scene. The pair were introduced to production by each other, with Max showing Luke FL Studio about eight years ago. They recently played a three-hour back-to-back set at Orange Yard Soho featuring only their unreleased work.

Event Details:

ABODE with Luke Dean runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Pure Beach Club. Given that ABODE events regularly sell out their 2,000 capacity 2-3 weeks before the event date, and Luke Dean's rapidly growing international fanbase, tickets for July 9th are expected to sell out even faster than usual.

Tickets: Available now through Zante Bible. Based on previous ABODE sell-out patterns, booking 3-4 weeks in advance is recommended.

Additional ABODE June Lineup

Thursday 4th June - GW

ABODE co-founder GW kicks off June's residency. As one of the masterminds behind ABODE's decade-long success, GW brings deep house expertise and an understanding of what makes the brand special. Expect a classic ABODE experience showcasing why the brand has become synonymous with quality house music.

Thursday 25th June - Omar+

Closing out June's ABODE lineup, Omar+ represents the tech house sound that ABODE built its reputation on. Details on this booking will be announced closer to the date.

Nathan Dawe at IKON Club: The Monday Night Takeover

If you're in Zante on a Monday night in 2026, there's only one place to be: IKON Club for Nathan Dawe's exclusive weekly residency. Running every Monday night from 11pm until late throughout the entire summer season, Nathan Dawe has become synonymous with Monday nights in Zante.

Who is Nathan Dawe?

Nathan Dawe is a multi-platinum selling, chart-topping UK DJ and producer who's dominated the UK charts with massive hits. His tracks blend house, garage, and pop influences, creating anthems that work equally well on festival main stages and intimate club settings.

Why Nathan Dawe at IKON is Different:

Unlike one-off special guest appearances, Nathan Dawe's residency means he's there every single Monday throughout the season. This consistency has created a phenomenon where Monday nights in Zante have become known as "Nathan Dawe nights."

The events are described by multiple sources as "complete roadblocks" – IKON Club hits capacity every week, with the atmosphere described as "electric." MC Missin Lync handles hosting duties, and the production includes big visuals and special effects that transform IKON into a festival-style experience.

What You Get:

• Chart-topping hits mixed with summer bangers

• Intimate club setting (compared to massive festivals where Nathan usually performs)

• Weekly consistency - no matter which week you're in Zante, Nathan Dawe is there on Monday

• Package-exclusive access in most cases

Important Booking Information:

Nathan Dawe's IKON Club residency typically sells out 3 weeks in advance. The event is almost exclusively available through advance event packages rather than individual ticket sales, making early booking essential.

Many visitors report that Nathan Dawe nights at IKON became their highlight of the week, with the combination of chart hits, intimate venue, and festival-level energy creating unforgettable Monday nights.

The White Party at Karma Day Club: Sunday's Luxury Experience

Every Sunday night, Karma Day Club transforms into Zante's most prestigious event: The White Party. Running from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM throughout summer 2026, this all-white dress code event represents the pinnacle of Zante's luxury party scene.

The White Party DJ Lineup:

Based on the established pattern from previous years, The White Party features a rotating lineup of international house music heavyweights. Past performances have included:

• MK - House music legend known for tracks like "17" and remixes for countless major artists

• Solardo - The Manchester duo dominating the tech house scene

• Ben Hemsley - Regular fixture bringing high-energy house sets

• Danny Howard - BBC Radio 1 resident and globe-trotting DJ

• Sam Divine - Defected Records regular and house music authority

• Schak - Known for explosive tech house performances

While specific 2026 names are yet to be confirmed, The White Party's track record of securing top-tier talent means you can expect a similar calibre of artist throughout the season.

What Makes The White Party Special:

• All-white dress code creates Instagram-worthy atmosphere

• Karma Day Club - Zante's only 5-star, multi-million dollar beach club

• Capacity of 5,000+ during peak events (typically July)

• Premium production including fire shows, professional saxophonist and percussionist, poolside dancers

• Champagne service and strawberry presentations

• VIP options including Sunset Deck Pass and private cabanas

The White Party has been running for over 10 years and consistently ranks as one of Zante's must-do events. The combination of luxury venue, world-class DJs, and sophisticated crowd creates an experience that stands apart from typical club nights.

Why the Zante 2026 DJ Lineup is Different

Genre Diversification: Beyond Tech House

Historically, Zante's event scene has been dominated by tech house and mainstream dance music. The 2026 lineup represents a significant evolution:

Silva Bumpa's booking marks ABODE's first major UK garage/bassline headliner. This isn't just about one DJ – it signals that Zante venues are willing to diversify their sound to attract different music fans. UK garage has experienced a massive revival in 2024-2026, and Zante is capitalizing on this trend.

Luke Dean's house music pedigree brings credibility from the underground scene. His performances at Fabric and DC10 mean he's approved by the most discerning house music fans, elevating Zante's reputation beyond "party island" to "serious music destination."

Nathan Dawe's chart success bridges the gap between underground credibility and mainstream appeal, ensuring the island caters to both music purists and casual holidaymakers.

Catching Artists at the Perfect Moment

One strategic advantage of Zante's 2026 bookings is timing. Both Silva Bumpa and Luke Dean are at that perfect career sweet spot: big enough to draw serious crowds and deliver exceptional performances, but not yet at arena level where they're inaccessible.

Silva Bumpa has 839K Spotify listeners now – impressive, but still intimate compared to mega-stars with tens of millions. Seeing him at Pure Beach Club's 2,000 capacity means you're catching a future headliner while he still connects with the crowd on a personal level.

Luke Dean at 2.5M monthly Spotify listeners is following a similar trajectory. His recent signing to UTA Music and performances at legendary venues suggest he's on an upward path. The July 9th ABODE show might be your last chance to see him in a venue this size.

Investment in Quality Over Quantity

What's notable about the Zante 2026 DJ lineup isn't just who's playing – it's what it says about the island's evolution. Venues are investing in:

• Better sound systems (Funktion-One rigs at Pure Beach Club)

• Premium production (pyrotechnics, professional dancers, lighting at ABODE)

• Respected brands (ABODE's decade-long reputation, The White Party's 10+ year history)

• Artist development (booking rising stars before they become unaffordable)

This positions Zante as a serious competitor to established European party destinations like Ibiza, Mykonos, and Marbella.

Sound System: Funktion-One (the best in Zante)

Vibe: Open-air beachside venue with massive pool, professional production

Events: ABODE (Thursdays), Tidal Boat Party departure point

Pure Beach Club has become Zante's premier event venue through significant investment in infrastructure. The Funktion-One sound system is specifically what DJs like Silva Bumpa design their tracks for – sub-bass you feel in your chest, crystal-clear vocals, pristine hi-hats, and the power to handle warped basslines without distortion.

The venue's beachside location means sunset opening sets at ABODE provide stunning Mediterranean backdrops, while the pool area creates a unique atmosphere compared to traditional club venues.

Karma Day Club

Location: Close to the main strip

Capacity: 5,000+ for The White Party events

Vibe: 5-star luxury beach club with multi-million dollar investment

Events: The White Party (Sundays), various pool parties

Karma Day Club is Zante's answer to Ibiza's premium beach clubs. The 400 square meter pool, swim-up cocktail bar, 15ft diving platform, and 40 luxury daybeds and cabanas create an upscale environment that justifies premium pricing.

The venue's investment in professional entertainment (fire shows, saxophonist, percussionist, dancers) alongside world-class DJs makes The White Party feel like a mini-festival rather than just another club night.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will more Zante 2026 DJs be announced?

Additional DJ announcements for ABODE, The White Party, and other events continue dropping throughout winter and spring leading up to summer 2026. The initial announcements (Silva Bumpa, Luke Dean, Nathan Dawe residency) are just the beginning.

To stay updated, register at zantebible.com/zante-2026 or follow Zante Bible social media channels.

Can I buy tickets when I arrive in Zante?

While some events may have limited door availability, this approach is extremely risky for 2026. Major events like ABODE with Silva Bumpa and Luke Dean are expected to sell out completely weeks before the event date based on:

• Silva Bumpa's sold-out UK tour (sold out in days)

• Silva Bumpa's sold-out Australia tour (months in advance)

• Luke Dean's growing 2.5M listener fanbase

• ABODE's consistent sell-out pattern (2,000 capacity gone 2-3 weeks early)

• Nathan Dawe being package-exclusive

Recommendation: Book in advance. The disappointment of missing these events far outweighs any perceived benefit of waiting.

Are these DJs suitable for first-timers to house music?

Absolutely. One reason these bookings are strategic is their accessibility:

Silva Bumpa's UK garage is incredibly infectious and sing-along friendly. You don't need to be a house music expert to enjoy vocal-heavy anthems with 145 BPM energy.

Luke Dean's style bridges underground credibility with main room appeal. His sets work for both serious house fans and casual listeners.

Nathan Dawe specifically creates chart-friendly tracks that resonate with mainstream audiences while maintaining dance music credibility.

The White Party's rotating lineup means there's variety throughout the season, so you can experience different sub-genres of house music.

What's the age requirement for these events?

All major Zante events require attendees to be 17+ with valid tickets. ID may be checked at venue entry.

Is there a dress code?

ABODE: Smart casual beachwear. Comfortable shoes recommended for 4 hours of dancing.

Nathan Dawe at IKON: Typical club attire. No beachwear.

The White Party: Strict all-white dress code. This is enforced. Bring white outfits or purchase locally.

Which event should I prioritize if I can only do one?

This depends on your music taste:

Choose ABODE with Silva Bumpa (June 18th) if you love UK garage, want the only UKG event of the season, or want to catch Silva Bumpa's only Greek island appearance.

Choose ABODE with Luke Dean (July 9th) if you prefer house music, want to see a rising star at a crucial career moment, or love the classic ABODE tech house experience.

Choose Nathan Dawe if you prefer chart hits and recognizable tracks, want a consistent Monday night plan throughout your stay, or enjoy mainstream dance music.

Choose The White Party if you want luxury experience, all-white dress code Instagram content, or Sunday night premium beach club vibes.

The smart answer: Book the Event Package and experience all of them. You're on holiday – maximize the experience.

Do I need to arrive at the start time?

For ABODE events starting at 6:00 PM, arriving around 6:15-6:30 PM is recommended. You'll catch the sunset opening sets, avoid entry queues, and secure good spots around the pool and stage area.

For Nathan Dawe at 11pm, arriving by 11:30 PM ensures you don't miss the opening and can get into the venue before capacity is hit.

For The White Party at 6:00 PM, early arrival is recommended for the same reasons as ABODE.

What Comes Next: Future Announcements

The Silva Bumpa, Luke Dean, and Nathan Dawe announcements are just the beginning of Zante's 2026 lineup reveals. Based on patterns from previous years, expect:

• Additional ABODE headliners throughout summer months

• More The White Party DJ confirmations as summer approaches

• Special guest appearances at various venues

• New events and one-off shows

The strategy appears to be announcing headline acts early (generating buzz and early bookings) while holding back some names for spring announcements (maintaining momentum).

What we know: Venues are in active discussions with additional artists. The fact that Silva Bumpa and Luke Dean bookings came through suggests Zante has the budget and appeal to attract serious talent.

Register at zantebible.com/zante-2026 to be first to know when additional DJs are announced.

Why This Matters for Zante's Future

The 2026 DJ lineup represents more than just individual bookings – it's a statement about where Zante is heading as a party destination.

Five years ago, Zante was primarily known for cheap drinks and accessible nightlife rather than serious music programming.

Today, the island is booking:

• Columbia Records artists (Silva Bumpa)

• DJs with 2.5M monthly listeners (Luke Dean)

• Chart-topping residents (Nathan Dawe)

• Legendary house names (MK, Solardo at The White Party)

This evolution attracts a different type of visitor – people who care about music quality alongside the beach and nightlife experience. It also means Zante can charge premium prices for premium experiences, benefiting local businesses and the island economy.

For holidaymakers, this is excellent news. You get Ibiza-quality DJs at Greek island prices, in venues that are investing in proper sound systems and production rather than cutting corners.
