There has been a lot of speculation about who would take the Memorial Day slot at the Gorge ever since Illenium’s three-year run ended in 2024. Many fans predicted Subtronics, who held a two-year run with Cyclops Dome in Tacoma, to take over the reins. And fans, rejoice, because we now have official confirmation that GRiZtronics Gorge will happen in 2026!
A teaser video dropped on November 11. The next day, official details came out and fulfilled every bass head’s dream of Subtronics and GRiZ returning to the Gorge.

Not just Cyclops Canyon, but a full-fledged GRiZtronics Gorge. The debate in on as to whether this is a two-day rave or a mini music festival. We still don’t know how many stages the event will have, but we’re excited either way. Single-stage Gorge shows still rule and give you peace of mind that you won’t miss any sets or deal with conflicts.
This event marks the next step in Subtronics’ meteoric rise to the top of bass music. He recently played the Las Vegas Sphere and continues to level up. GRiZ, who returned from a two-year hiatus, also brings huge hype and momentum.
If you witnessed Subtronics’ Bass Canyon 2022 closing set or GRiZ’s 2023 closing set, you know they will not disappoint. And if you have never been to the Gorge before, do not sleep on this.

Joining bass music’s favorite duo are Of The Trees, Boogie T, Effin, and Blossom on Night 1. Night 2 brings LSDream, Alleycat, Taiki Nulight, and Lumasi. The lineup is incredibly stacked, and we should also expect a GRiZtronics set to end both nights, plus multiple solo sets from Subtronics and GRiZ.
Ticket sales went live on November 19 at 10 am PST. Mark your calendars for Memorial Day Weekend, May 23–24, 2026, at The Gorge Amphitheater.
