More than 120 producers and live acts will play Making Time ∞ on Sept. 18-20 at Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, with Bicep, Daphni, Skee Mask and Kim Gordon among the top names.
Bicep’s booking stands out because the duo is slated to play its only 2026 show in the Americas at the festival, adding a rare draw to the bill.
Dave P., the festival’s founder, said the 2026 edition leans harder into live performance than ever before while reconnecting with Making Time’s early mix of bands and DJs.
Attendance remains capped at 3,000 people, underscoring the event’s small-scale independent model as tickets go on sale for one of the more established grassroots electronic festivals in the U.S.
