Today, Empire of the Sun announces the inaugural lineup for Chrysalis, a three-day destination music festival featuring over 25 artists, three stages, and immersive experience in partnership with 100x Hospitality taking place May 14-16, 2026 at The Sculpture Gardens at Puerto Los Cabos, San Jose Del Cabo, Baja California.

Alongside three unique sets by Empire of the Sun, lineup highlights include a DJ set from English duo Disclosure, kaleidoscopic rock visionaries The Flaming Lips, alt-pop innovators Magdalena Bay, and indie pop songwriter Del Water Gap. The billing continues with global electronic mainstays DJ Tennis and DJ Heartstring, genre-blending duo RIO KOSTA, Mexican retro-funk collective Midnight Generation, house stylists Walker & Royce and French-Mexican avantgarde performer ADANOWSKY. Rounding out the program are Peruvian electronic innovator Sofia Kourtesis, cinematic producer Aaron Hibell and dance-rock duo Roi Turbo, together forming a cross genre constellation that reflects the festival’s emphasis on imagination, emotion and transformation.

“Chrysalis is about imagination and rebirth. This festival is designed to be spirit immersive – where people leave transformed. The festival’s story focuses on the circle of symbols – the door, the egg, key, wings and bell.

It’s in the Chrysalis that these symbols communicate to us like a secret language – The Door, the threshold. The Key, the revelation. The Bell, awakening. Wings, the future self and The Egg, beginnings.

It’s about creating a journey through music, art and spirit. In a world that is overflowing with distortion, it’s time to let yourself be carried away.” – Luke Steele

Set in the heart of San José del Cabo, Chrysalis invites guests to experience one of Baja California’s coastal destinations. The town pairs serene beaches with a thriving artistic community, offering galleries, culinary gems, and historic neighborhoods that expand the festival’s world beyond the gates of The Sculpture Gardens at Puerto Los Cabos. It’s a location defined by warmth, culture, and a connection to nature.
