The trance heavyweights are about to take fans on a full journey through the archives. Above & Beyond have been unveiled as the final lineup addition to Dreamstate SoCal 2026, and they are bringing something very specific to the Queen Mary Waterfront: an exclusive Anjunabeats Classics set that celebrates the label's most iconic tracks. It is the kind of announcement that Anjuna fans have been quietly waiting years for.

The set will focus purely on Anjunabeats Classics, which means expect a very deliberate walk through the timeless records that shaped the label’s identity: think ‘Sun & Moon’, ‘Thing Called Love’, ‘On My Way To Heaven’, ‘Alone Tonight’ and the wider catalogue that turned Above & Beyond into one of the most emotionally connected acts in dance music. Dreamstate is billing it as “a once in a lifetime journey through the timeless sounds of Anjunabeats,” and the framing feels earned.

Dreamstate SoCal 2026 returns to the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026. It is the flagship US trance festival and a proper endpoint to a very stacked trance calendar. Insomniac’s programming has quietly built Dreamstate into the most respected home for the sound in North America, and the final wave puts a huge exclamation mark on the 2026 edition.

Tickets and full lineup information are available via the official Dreamstate SoCal site. See you at the Queen Mary.
