We Belong Here has revealed the lineup for its long-awaited New Orleans debut. ODESZA, Carl Cox, and Steve Angello lead the three-day waterfront festival at Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park from November 13–15.

Set along the Mississippi River with views of the French Quarter, the festival brings large-scale dance music back to one of America’s most iconic music cities. The lineup also includes Sammy Virji, Blond:ish, Max Styler, and more, alongside 20 local New Orleans artists.

Three Nights of Epic Waterfront Electronic Music

Friday kicks off with a rare ODESZA DJ set, marking their second We Belong Here appearance. After their standout Tampa Bay debut, they now bring that energy to the New Orleans waterfront. Saturday features a three-hour sunset set from Carl Cox, one of the most respected names in dance music. Steve Angello joins him, adding decades of influence shaped through Swedish House Mafia and Size Records. Blond:ish also takes the stage, known for her genre-blending sets and strong community focus.

Sunday wraps with Sammy Virji, one of the UK’s fastest-rising electronic acts. His bass-driven, genre-crossing sound continues to build global momentum. Max Styler also joins the bill, riding a breakout run of releases and major festival plays. The supporting lineup blends established names with rising talent. Artists include Blu DeTiger (DJ set), ChaseWest, Madison Park, Robbie Doherty, and Simon Doty. Styro, Supertaste (DJ set), Apex Martin, Coco & Breezy, and Soulection co-founder Andre Power round out the roster. Together, they span melodic house, underground club sounds, and next-gen festival energy.

Showcasing New Orleans’ Underground Scene

Staying true to its community-first vision, the festival will spotlight 20 New Orleans-based artists throughout the weekend. Qbaby Worldwide fuses bounce and house into a distinct local sound, while Legatron Prime and Bouffant Bouffant bring their own underground edge. This local focus strengthens the connection between global dance music and New Orleans’ deep musical roots. It creates a lineup that feels both international and grounded in the city’s culture.

Co-founder Charles Hochfelder emphasized that music runs deep in New Orleans. He highlighted the goal of creating an experience that feels immersive, intentional, and true to the city. He shares:

‘Music is woven into the fabric of New Orleans, We’re excited to bring dance music to the French Quarter at this level and create something that feels immersive, intentional, and rooted in the spirit of the city.’

This debut marks another expansion moment for We Belong Here, following growth in Miami, New York, and Tampa Bay. With its rich history and cultural energy, New Orleans offers the perfect setting to bring dance music back to the waterfront.

Fans can now register for presale access and travel packages. Presale begins Thursday, June 11 at 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET, followed by general sale shortly after.
