Puerto Rico’s Fifth Element Festival Reveals Lineup for Inaugural Edition

Trending Now

The Fifth Element Festival has unveiled the full roster for its inaugural edition.

Topping the lineup are Detroit luminary Carl Craig, crowd-favorite Seth Troxler, techno powerhouse Nicole Moudaber, veteran DJ/producer Danny Tenaglia and minimal-techno icon Ricardo Villalobos. Also appearing are Dixon, DJ Tennis, Dubfire and many others — more than 60 artists in total. See the full roster listed below.

The festival takes place in Puerto Rico from January 7–13, 2026. Beyond performances, The Fifth Element will present a program of yoga, breathwork, sound baths and additional workshops and ceremonies focused on holistic well-being.

Founder Phillip Pulitano — who previously co-founded the BPM Festival but is no longer involved with that event — told Billboard that the idea for The Fifth Element emerged after a personal ayahuasca ceremony. The experience inspired him to build a gathering that blends dance music with intentional healing practices rather than centering solely on nightlife.

“I wanted to design a hybrid experience within dance culture,” Pulitano said, describing a festival that offers substance and awareness without adopting a heavy-handed ‘hippie’ aesthetic. The goal, he explained, is to create a space that deepens participants’ consciousness while still celebrating music and community.

A dedicated Sacred Space will function as a wellness sanctuary, curated by the Above & Below Collective — a team of artists, therapists, facilitators and health professionals. That area will host ceremonial gatherings, guided workshops and integration sessions led by practitioners from diverse healing traditions.
