ABGT700 2026: Set Times for All Three Days at the Gorge

Above & Beyond’s 700th Group Therapy has its running order. Three days at the Gorge, September 11 to 13, and each one is a different party with a different door time. The full grid is at the bottom of this piece. Save any day of it to your lock screen and you can leave the app closed in the campground, where the signal is bad anyway. The weekend has run now, and the recap is here.

The fixed stuff first:

• Music starts at 5 PM Friday, 4 PM Saturday and 3:30 PM Sunday, and on every day the first set begins the moment the site opens. There is no grace hour. ⚠️ Friday was the one to watch: the official FAQ still says 6 PM and the official schedule says 5. Sunday moved from 3 to 3:30 on the day, after Saturday’s weather.
• It’s 18-and-over. Bars are 21+ with ID.
• Friday is a separate ticket. The 2-day general admission pass covers Saturday and Sunday only. Friday’s pre-party is sold on its own, or bundled into the Early Entry and VIP packages.
• Parking is in the ticket price. Nobody sleeps in the general lots, so if you’re staying the night you need a camping pass, and it’s one per vehicle rather than one per person.
• The campground opens Thursday and closes Monday at noon.
• Re-entry is allowed, with a security check each time.
• Cameras are non-professional only, no detachable lenses, per the official FAQ. A phone or a fixed lens compact goes in; a body with a lens on the front does not. Drones are banned over any Gorge property at all.
• Clear bags only, nothing bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus a small clutch. No hard coolers, no lawn chairs, no glass and no cans.

Three days, three brands. Friday is a pre-party out on the Meadow, the flat grass area on the festival grounds rather than the amphitheatre. Saturday is ABGT700 proper in the amphitheatre. Sunday hands the same stage to Anjunadeep for an Open Air, which is a different label, a different tempo, and an afternoon start. Camp Anjuna runs a stage in the campground after each of them.

Friday: sunset on the Meadow

Farius opens the Meadow at 5 and Nourey follows at 6, which is the hour the FAQ still thinks the whole thing begins. Above & Beyond take the Deep Set at 7, ninety minutes of the slower catalogue, and this is the slot the reshuffle actually bought: sunset at the Gorge on September 11 is 7:22 and the canyon goes fully dark at 7:53, so the Deep Set runs from daylight to night without stopping. J Ribbon b2b Grum then get two hours from 8:30, a long stretch that reads like the label handing two of its newer signings the after-dark room to fill. Amy Wiles closes the Meadow from 10:30 to midnight.

Then it moves to the campground. Camp Anjuna starts at 11 with DRBL b2b Schrader, and the last three hours are a Farius and Jaytech relay: Farius alone at midnight, Jaytech alone at 12:40, then the two of them together from 1:20 until 2 AM. That’s the latest music on the site all weekend.

Saturday: ABGT700

Eight sets, one stage, 4 PM to 1 AM. Nourey opens, and Darren Tate plays live at 5, which is the booking on this sheet with the deepest history behind it; he was making trance records under a stack of aliases before a good share of Saturday’s crowd was born. Grum plays live at 6, under twenty hours after coming off the Meadow the night before. Mat Zo takes 7, Oliver Smith 8, J Ribbon 9.

Above & Beyond have 10 PM to midnight. Two hours is the longest set of the weekend, and it’s the 700th episode, so expect the crowd-writing bit and the whole singalong apparatus. ilan Bluestone closes the stage from midnight to 1.

Up at Camp Anjuna, Gabriel & Dresden run a silent disco called Stories We Tell from midnight to 4 AM. Four hours, headphones, and it’s the only thing on the Saturday sheet that isn’t in the amphitheatre.

Sunday: Anjunadeep Open Air

Sunday ran on the revised grid, and this is it. The 3:30 door cost the afternoon half an hour, and instead of cutting an act the rebuild shaved five minutes from each of the first six sets until the times caught back up with the printed plan. Leaving Laurel opened at 3:30, Because of Art at 4:25, Durante b2b Ezequiel Arias at 5:20. James Grant, who runs the label, played with Jody Wisternoff at 6:25, HANA at 7:30, Rezident at 8:35. By Marsh at 9:40 the schedule was back where it started, and Ben Böhmer closed the amphitheatre and the weekend from 10:50 to midnight, his slot untouched.

Camp Anjuna finished the campground off with an Anjunadeep House Classics party from 11 to 2, overlapping Böhmer’s last hour. You couldn’t have both.

One thing worth planning around

Saturday and Sunday are the two-day ticket, and they’re not the same event. The Saturday bill is trance and it ends at 1 AM in the amphitheatre. The Sunday bill is deep house, it starts in the middle of the afternoon, and Ben Böhmer is done by midnight so people can drive home. If you’re picking one day, that’s the split, and the difference in gate time is the bit people get wrong.

The full grid follows, all three days and all three stages, transcribed from the official set times graphics. Friday and Saturday check against the schedule on abgt700.live; Sunday is the revised graphic above, which that schedule never caught up with.
