ABGT700 2026: Three Days at the Gorge With the Anjunafamily
Group Therapy's 700th on Saturday, Anjunadeep on Sunday, a Friday on the Meadow. Saturday stopped two hours for wind and came back. Lovely crowd, all weekend.
We got into the Gorge a little after the 4 PM door on Saturday. The lines out front moved fast, and we went up the hill and stayed there all night. The photo at the top is 8:26, half an hour into Oliver Smith.
Sometime after that the music cut and the screens went red. Text on the red: the show was paused for high winds, and they would update when they could. That message stayed up for a long time. Trance History has the pause at about two hours, with J Ribbon’s 9 PM slot cut and Above & Beyond on around 11:10 instead of 10. Then the lights came back and Above & Beyond played the 700th Group Therapy. It was beautiful.
The wind had been through the campground too. The walk back to camp after the set went past canopy after canopy flattened, and whole camps wrecked.
Sunday moved again for the weather. Doors went to 3:30, posted on Above & Beyond’s Instagram story that afternoon with a rebuilt running order that took five minutes off each of the first six sets and left Ben Böhmer’s close where it was. Friday’s Meadow bill had been reissued on the day too, with music from 5 PM rather than the 6 the FAQ said. Both grids, and Saturday as it was printed, are on the set times page.
The sets you can watch back
Above & Beyond have posted Friday’s Deep Set in full: Group Therapy 700 Deep Warm Up Set, The Gorge Amphitheatre. Saturday and Sunday were streamed live, minus Ben Böhmer’s close by Trance Attack’s account, and neither is up as a replay yet. The links go here when they are.
The crowd was lovely all weekend, and a two-hour wind stop on Saturday night did nothing to that. Another beautiful ABGT. This one got through the weather together.
