Terminal V 2026: Unveiling the Ultimate Edinburgh Edition Guide

Edinburgh prepares for the final local staging of Terminal V this weekend. The 2026 edition marks the festival’s last run in the city.

This report serves as an ultimate Edinburgh edition guide to Terminal V 2026. It highlights logistics, lineup, production, and the festival’s legacy.

A decade of growth

Terminal V began as a grassroots event in 2017. Over the years it expanded into one of the UK’s leading electronic music festivals.

The festival helped shape Edinburgh’s electronic music scene. Organisers now close this chapter before moving to a new venue in 2027.

Production and stages

The 2026 programme features six reimagined stages. Each stage promises different sonic and visual experiences.

d&b audiotechnik provides the festival’s sound system. Organisers say this setup aims to deliver the most immersive production yet.

Line-up highlights

The billing brings established names and rising acts. Expect sets from 999999999, Anetha, Ben Hemsley, Mall Grab, Patrick Topping, and Sara Landry.

• Back-to-back collaborations and varied techno and house sets.
• Performances intended to represent Terminal V’s global reach.

Arrival, hours and transport

Gates open at 12pm on both festival days. Music runs until 11pm each night.

Attendees are advised to arrive between 12pm and 2pm to reduce queueing. Shuttle buses will operate throughout the day.

On-site facilities and upgrades

The site uses cashless payment systems across vendors. Food stalls and diverse stage areas aim to create a full festival environment.

Lockers and Platinum upgrades are available for added comfort. Plan schedules in advance to maximise your time across stages.

Welfare and safety

The event includes welfare services and medical support. Free water stations are provided across the site.

Organisers urge groups to set meeting points and stay connected. Prioritising self-care is central to the festival’s ethos.

Voices from the organisers

Derek Martin, Co-Festival Director, acknowledged Edinburgh’s role in the festival’s development. He framed the weekend as a tribute to the city and its community.

Looking ahead

Sunday night will close Terminal V’s run in Edinburgh. The festival will relocate to a new site in 2027.
