Countdown NYE

Prepare for an interstellar launch into the new year! Insomniac’s massive, alien-themed New Year's Eve electronic music extravaganza is officially returning to close out 2026 in epic fashion. Transforming the festival grounds into a cosmic wonderland, Countdown NYE features multiple massive universes of sound—including the colossal Mothership, the deep-bass Nebula, and the underground Twilight Zone—capped off by a spectacular alien invasion countdown at midnight. Thursday, December 31, 2026 – Friday, January 1, 2027 NOS Events Center (689 S E St, San Bernardino, CA) 18+ to enter, 21+ for bars and the VIP Elevated Experience Expect a massive cross-spectrum roster spanning main-stage house champions, massive melodic trance icons, and heavy underground techno selectors. Past editions have featured heavy hitters like John Summit, SLANDER, Above & Beyond, Sub Focus, and Madeon. Upgrading to VIP opens up classified areas of the invasion, including dedicated viewing zones, a complimentary midnight champagne toast, a custom beauty bar and barber shop, a kandi-making station, and premium air-conditioned restrooms. Insomniac enforces a strict clear bag policy (maximum size 12" x 6" x 12") for all entry gates, though standard hydration packs are allowed if they are emptied prior to security screening. Dress to impress with elevated, metallic rave fashion, but definitely pack a light jacket or hoodie for the late-night journey back to your car!
