Swedish festival Into The Valley, one of the world’s most unique festival destinations, has finalized its 2016 lineup, rounding off a program that features the who’s who of the international techno and house music industry.

On July 28th, the festival will begin with a special Opening Party with the likes of Mano le Tough, Motor City Drum Ensemble and Fred P all set to perform. The three-day festivities continue on the 29th and 30th, with illustrious acts such as Ricardo Villalobos, Ben UFO, Zip and Dixon, all appearing at the Dalhalla Amphitheater. Attendees will also be treated to Live sets by Four Tet, Gidge and KiNK.

The venue Dalhalla is a former limestone quarry, mostly known for opera and pop concerts. It has only recently been exposed to electronic music, and in particular techno and house, through efforts by Into The Valley to gather and showcase lineups that highlight some of the best talent in the current underground electronic music circuit.
