Contributing WriterBateleur Festival has confirmed its full lineup ahead of its fourth edition, running 22nd to 25th October 2026. A festival like no other, Bateleur takes over an entire five-star resort in Elounda, Crete, exclusively for its guests, uniting house music, wellness and hospitality into one continuous weekend, with an intimate capacity of 500 guests.
Miguelle & Tons and Bontan step up alongside previously announced headliners Dennis Ferrer, Rafael and OMRI., rounding out a bill built entirely around house music, from raw and rolling to warm and melodic, playing out against one of the Mediterranean’s most striking coastlines.
Miami’s Miguelle & Tons bring their fusion of house, minimal and Latin rhythm, sharpened over a residency at Club Space Miami and through Two and a Half Cats, the label and party series they’ve turned into a launchpad for house talent. Bontan touches down as one of Beatport’s biggest-selling house artists, the Liverpool-born producer behind ‘Call You Back’ and ‘The First Time.’
They’re joined by Alik, Bonafique, CJ Jeff, Hard To Tell, Itayga, Jonatao, Mentesh, Miss Albi, Niv Yefet, N.O.Y, Nevos, SIK&SEM, SMAJJ, Toni B and Yarin Segev, filling out a programme that runs from poolside afternoons straight through to sunrise.
Music runs alongside a full wellness programme threaded through the four days, including yoga, sound healing, ice baths and workshops, creating intimate opportunities for connection and community.
Elounda sits 45 minutes from Heraklion Airport, tucked into one of Crete’s most exclusive corners, close to the fishing village of Plaka, the submerged ruins of Olous and the harbour towns lining the coast.
