Countdown NYE 2026: Insomniac's alien-themed New Year's Eve rave in San Bernardino
To ring in 2027, promoter Insomniac turns the NOS Events Center, at 689 S E Street in San Bernardino, California, into the landing zone of a spacecraft from another world. The event runs over two nights, Thursday 31 December 2026 and Friday 1 January 2027, and the official website already lists a finalised bill.
Five stages with cosmic names share the grounds: The Mothership, Nebula, Area 51, Twilight Zone and Galactik Gate. Around them you will find roaming performers, space-themed rides, the shops of the Galaxy Mall and the Red Light District, an adults-only area where dancers dressed as aliens hold court.
Around seventy acts are announced, with no split by night. At the top, the crowd-pleasing EDM of Marshmello and DJ Snake meets the dubstep of Subtronics, the melodic sweep of Seven Lions and the house of Tchami, James Hype and Oliver Heldens. Alesso, NGHTMRE, R3HAB, TOKiMONSTA and Taiki Nulight are also billed, along with several B2B pairings and S.Y.N, a trio uniting Svdden Death, yvm3 and NIMDA.
Two-day passes, priced with fees included but tax extra, rise in tiers: from $189.99 for GA (18 and over, free water), $229.99 for GA+ with a faster entry lane and air-conditioned restrooms, and $289.99 for VIP (21 and over, a champagne toast at midnight and dedicated areas). A $10 deposit holds a pass, and an official afterparty runs on site from 2am to 6am ($61.95). Front Gate Tickets is the official seller.
Good to know: no one under 18 gets in, even with a parent, there is no re-entry, and on-site payments are card or mobile only. General parking is free and rideshare drop-off is at 499 W. Orange Show Road. Ontario (ONT) is the closest airport, about 20 miles away, and partner hotels can be cancelled free of charge until 3 December.
