DWP Bali

Djakarta Warehouse Project — DWP — is the loudest line item on Indonesia’s electronic music calendar and, for the second time in three years, the loudest line item on Bali’s. The 2025 edition staged 67 international artists across three nights at Garuda Wisnu Kencana, drawing a regional crowd in the tens of thousands. A 2026 edition is widely expected to return to Bali, but as of early May 2026 nothing has been officially announced — neither dates nor lineup nor venue. Treat anything you read about a 2026 DWP Bali bill as speculation until the festival’s own channels confirm it.

DWP origin and what it is in Jakarta

DWP began at Jakarta’s Blowfish nightclub in 2008 and has run almost every year since, growing from a single-room club night into Southeast Asia’s biggest EDM weekend. Its long-running Jakarta home was JIExpo Kemayoran, where the festival sat from the mid-2010s through 2024, with most editions hitting mid-December and pulling in the genre’s top tier — Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Charlotte de Witte, Fisher and the rest of the festival circuit’s bigroom and tech-house elite. Promoter Ismaya Live runs the brand and uses DWP as the anchor of a wider year-round events business.

Bali editions — the historical record

DWP has now made the move to Bali twice. The first was December 2018, the festival’s 10th anniversary, when it relocated to Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park on the Bukit for a single year before returning to Jakarta in 2019. The second was December 2025, when DWP again decamped to GWK for a three-day run on 12, 13 and 14 December with Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Charlotte de Witte, Fisher, Steve Angello and Hugel headlining a 67-artist bill. The 2025 edition was framed as more than the festival itself — Ismaya programmed a wider “DWP Bali Music Week” with beachside pre-parties, label takeovers and ancillary club nights across the island in the days leading in.

What’s actually confirmed for Bali in 2026

Nothing official, yet. As of early May 2026, Ismaya and DWP have not announced 2026 dates, a 2026 venue or any 2026 lineup. The festival’s pattern is a December weekend announcement cycle that begins in the second or third quarter — phase one lineup typically lands late northern-hemisphere summer, with the second phase and stage splits following in the autumn. If the 2026 edition follows precedent it would land on or near the second weekend of December and, given the 2025 success at GWK, would likely return to Bali rather than swing back to Jakarta — but neither is confirmed.

What to watch for if you’re tracking

Two signals are worth monitoring. First, Ismaya Live’s own channels and the official DWP Instagram for a “save the date” or phase-one teaser, which historically arrives around July or August. Second, GWK Cultural Park’s event calendar and any local permitting noise out of Badung regency — a Bali edition cannot be quietly arranged, and venue blocking at GWK in the December 11 to 14 window would be a strong tell. Until one of those lands, treat third-party listings claiming 2026 Bali dates as projections, not bookings.

Where you’d see DWP-style programming in the meantime

Even without DWP itself running, the bigroom-and-tech-house bookings the brand is known for run year-round on the island. Atlas Super Club in Berawa is the most direct equivalent — a purpose-built superclub regularly hosting the same touring tier (Fisher, Hugel, John Summit and similar) on weekends. Savaya Bali on the Uluwatu cliff books the more open-air cousin of that programme, and Atlas Beach Fest handles the daytime end. If a 2026 Bali DWP weekend doesn’t materialise, those three venues will absorb most of the touring bigroom dates that would otherwise have anchored it.

For the venue most likely to host any 2026 DWP Bali programming, see Atlas Super Club. To see how a confirmed 2026 announcement would slot against the rest of the year, the Bali festival calendar 2026 is the running source of truth, and the Tuesday newsletter will flag the phase-one announcement the day it drops.
