SteppaSound is putting its best foot forward with a lineup sure to catch the attention of bass heads across the U.S.
Organizer Moth & Flame has gradually revealed headliners over the past five months. And with its last announcement, the promoter has finalized the roster of the debut event set to take place at Astral Valley Art Park in French Village, Missouri from August 14th-17th.
Four names prominently placed atop the lineup graphic have already started conversations among fans of experimental bass and sound system culture. Coki is a bonafide legend of the game closely involved with dubstep during its formative years in the U.K. Joker and Kursa. also hail from across the pond, with the latter set to perform alongside close collaborator Alicia Kiah. Yheti is the sole U.S. act on the headliner row of the image, but his penchant for mind-bending sound design qualifies him for such a placement.
Beyond that, the SteppaSound 2026 lineup prioritizes sound over hype, packed with names lauded by diehard fans who dig for new and exciting sounds. In the final reveal alone, Quasar, Episcool, Liquid L, Waylo, Nonkalonk, Anahata Sound, Solstice and Taurus Terrell have been added to the bill, along with a “Dub Den Takeover” featuring ChefWamp, Instant Party! and Alice D. They’ve joined the likes of G-Space, Dublink, Chief Kaya, Random Movement, and Torcha, promising an audio spectacle for the ages.
The day before gates open at SteppaSound, Moth & Flame is hosting a pre-party. This August 13th gathering will feature a number of the acts from the full festival bill.
Needless to say, SteppaSound’s debut event is an occasion not to miss for fans steeped in the deep end of bass. Get your tickets for the pre-game as well as the festival itself on The Ticketing Co.
