TAMPA, FL — Following the unveiling of its new identity earlier this year, Sunset On The River – Music & Arts Festival has announced the lineup for its inaugural edition, February 20–21, 2027, at Tampa’s Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park. Led by Alesso, Disco Lines, ALOK, Lost Frequencies and ACRAZE, the two-day event marks a new era for the longstanding Sunset Music Festival, bringing a distinctive musical and cultural experience to one of Tampa’s most coveted riverfront settings.

Presented by Sunset Events and Disco Presents, Sunset On The River marks the third festival concept from Sunset Events, following Sunset Music Festival and Holiday Riverfest. Building on the company’s longstanding presence in Tampa’s live entertainment and cultural landscape, this latest venture introduces a more intimate, 21+ waterfront experience where electronic music, immersive art, refined hospitality and curated culinary offerings come together under the banner “Curated Sound. Cultured Crowd.”

The newly revealed lineup reflects that philosophy, drawing from a rich spectrum of contemporary electronic music rather than adhering to a single genre or festival formula. From the soaring, euphoric anthems of Alesso and the globally influenced, high-energy sounds of ALOK to the warm, melodic house sensibilities of Lost Frequencies, the programming moves seamlessly between uplifting melodies and dance-floor intensity. Disco Lines brings his infectious, feel-good house grooves and playful rhythms, while ACRAZE adds a harder-hitting edge with his bass-driven tech-house sound and club-ready productions. Together, they set the tone for a weekend that celebrates the diversity of electronic music, from expansive festival moments to the more intimate energy of the underground dance floor.

Further shaping the weekend’s sound are OMNOM and Westend, bringing their distinctive takes on house and tech-house, alongside TOKiMONSTA, whose genre-blurring fusion of electronic music, hip-hop and soulful textures adds an adventurous dimension to the lineup. Angrybaby, DJ Mandy, John Anthony, Kyefi, Leondis, Pushman, Sueno and Wes Mills round out the bill, balancing internationally recognized talent with emerging artists and underscoring the festival’s emphasis on musical discovery.

For nearly two decades, Sunset has played an important role in Tampa’s live music landscape, growing alongside the city and helping shape its electronic music community. Its transformation into Sunset On The River reflects both that history and Tampa’s emergence as a destination for music, hospitality and cultural experiences. The move from its traditional Memorial Day weekend to February, coupled with a new location and a more selective approach to attendance, signals a shift in both scale and sensibility.

“Sunset has been part of Tampa’s cultural landscape for nearly two decades, and we’ve watched the city evolve in remarkable ways. We felt it was time for the festival to evolve alongside it. Sunset On The River allows us to build on that history while introducing a more refined experience that reflects the Tampa of today, its waterfront, its culture and the community that has supported us from the beginning.”
– John Santoro/Sunset Events

Set against the golden light of the Hillsborough River and the downtown Tampa skyline, Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park provides a setting that is integral to the festival’s new identity. The waterfront location offers a natural meeting point for music, art and social connection, with an atmosphere intended to feel as thoughtfully composed as the lineup itself.

Beyond the stages, Sunset On The River’s vision extends to immersive art installations, curated culinary offerings and elevated hospitality, bringing together the elements of a contemporary cultural gathering in a distinctly Tampa setting. Additional details surrounding the festival’s art, culinary programming, hospitality experiences and special activations will be unveiled in the months leading up to the event.

“We wanted the music to reflect the kind of experience we’re creating with Sunset On The River. There’s a great balance of established artists and newer talent, with different sounds that complement each other. It’s about giving people a chance to discover music, enjoy the setting and experience the festival in a different way.” – “Disco Donnie” Estopinal/Disco Presents

The festival also continues its commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond entertainment, benefiting ForHearts Worldwide, an organization dedicated to providing life-saving cardiac care to people in need around the world. Every ticket purchased helps support its mission, connecting the celebration of music and culture with a cause that extends far beyond Tampa.

With its inaugural edition, Sunset On The River Music & Arts Festival introduces a new expression of a festival that has long been part of the city’s identity. Blending music, art, hospitality and the natural beauty of Tampa’s waterfront, the event looks to establish a signature cultural occasion that reflects the city’s growing creative ambitions.

Sunset On The River takes place February 20–21, 2027, at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa, Florida.
