Corso Millner Group (CMG), a global leader in luxury experiential events, in partnership with dance music powerhouse Framework, Tao Group Hospitality, and Dorsia, unveil the complete lineup for Desert Nights 2026—the invite-only, elevated nightlife series returning to the illustrious ZENYARA in the heart of the Coachella Valley.
Desert Nights 2026 will take place between Friday, April 10 to Sunday, April 12 and Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19 2026, once again transforming ZENYARA’s private lakeside estate into an immersive post-festival environment—blending world-class headline talent with cutting-edge production, a luxurious setting with immersive brand storytelling, and a highly sought-after guest list.
Desert Nights proudly welcomes back Dorsia, the global leader in tech-driven hospitality, as the event’s exclusive access partner for the third consecutive year. Through its proprietary global wallet technology, Dorsia powers seamless entry and hospitality experiences for guests across Desert Nights. This year, the partnership expands further with Dorsia introducing an immersive art experience on property, adding a new creative dimension to the on-site environment.
Desert Nights and its sister series Rodeo Nights are the only annual events where the privately-owned ZENYARA opens its doors to outside guests, offering an exclusive opportunity to experience global stars in an intimate, ultra-luxury setting. Desert Nights’ 2026 lineup further cements this reputation with a star-studded roster across both weekends—featuring acts such as David Guetta, Green Velvet B2B Afrojack, Mochakk, PAWSA, HUGEL, Adriatique, Murda Beatz (House Set), Ben Sterling, Max Styler, Bedouin, WhoMadeWho (Hybrid DJ Set), Chloé Calliet, Deep Dish, Rossi. B2B Carlita, Kaz James (Vinyl Set), Brunello, Josh Baker, Prospa, Omar+, Riordan, and more.
"We are beyond thrilled to release the headliner lineup for Desert Nights 2026. Every year we push the boundaries with our musical programming to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for our guests. We are extremely excited to host globally celebrated artists such as David Guetta, Green Velvet B2B Afrojack, Mochakk, and more, in such an intimate setting. With strategic partners Framework, Tao Group Hospitality, and Dorsia, we aim to once again deliver the ultimate late-night, post-festival experience." - David Corso, Founder & CEO, Corso Millner Group (CMG).
This year’s lineup continues Desert Nights’ legacy in bringing electronic music’s most revered names to ZENYARA. Veteran performers include iconic names like RÜFÜS DU SOL, Anyma, Keinemusik, Kaytranada, Fisher, John Summit, Dom Dolla, Dixon, Damian Lazarus, Vintage Culture, and The Martinez Brothers, to name a few.
Desert Nights has also been a magnet for high-profile guests drawn to ZENYARA's world-class atmosphere and the event’s meticulously curated music programming. Emma Roberts, LISA of BLACKPINK, Leonardo DiCaprio, Travis Kelce, Tobey Maguire, Nav, Winnie Harlow, Dave Grohl, Dom Dolla, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Shaboozey, Freddy Gibbs, Thundercat, and Ty Dolla $ign represent just a sampling of notable names who have attended Desert Nights in years past.
"When we think about how to describe this event, we're flooded with the feedback we receive each year. From major music fans, the biggest celebrities, and performing artists themselves, the feedback is always the same - 'There's nothing like it,' 'it's mind blowing,' 'I've never seen an event like this in such a luxurious space.' For over 8 years, that feedback has been the same. At CMG, we are fortunate to be able to produce a lot of one of a kind experiences that push the boundaries. Out of everything we do, the culture and experience that we've curated with Desert Nights is the coolest thing we do." - David Corso, Founder & CEO, Corso Millner Group.
ZENYARA’s expansive 70-acre property features an immersive aquatic wonderland highlighted by an active man-made white sand beach, a front-entry moat, a boating canal with a full fleet of boats and jet skis, and a sweeping infinity-style resort pool. As guests continue to make their way through the estate, they are met with expanded sundecks, fire pits, and lavish indoor-outdoor bars woven throughout the grounds alongside dedicated lounging and recreation areas—all anchored by a main residence encircled by private guest casitas overlooking the pool.
Desert Nights’ ascension into one of the world’s most coveted cultural events has been driven by its strategic and creative engine, Corso Millner Group (CMG). Founded by David Corso, the agency has over thirty years of experience producing high-end, experiential events that fuse culture, lifestyle, and entertainment. CMG’s proven approach is exemplified by projects such as VROOM ROOM, the immersive Race Week afterparty concept with past installments in Las Vegas and Austin, and a Miami debut slated for this May.
CMG's desert season presence extends across some of the valley's most celebrated brand activations, including at Coachella with the Heineken House and the acclaimed Red Bull Mirage—a 3-story, 20,000 sq ft structure featuring a Nobu omakase experience and curated table service. For Coachella 2026, CMG is also producing activations with Medicube and Gap. They are also leading Dorsia’s integration into the festival, helping add a layer of access across the desert for the leading tech-driven hospitality platform.
Los Angeles-based promoter Framework also plays a central role in Desert Nights' sustained success. Since 2013, Framework has cultivated a legacy of producing culture-defining music experiences in Southern California and beyond—owning and operating venues including Sound Nightclub and The Spotlight, and celebrated for bringing some of the world's biggest house and techno artists to large-scale outdoor shows in unconventional spaces across LA. This past winter, Framework launched its indoor re:frame series, transforming an Atwater Village soundstage into an experiential nightclub that hosted 30,000+ attendees and sold out eight shows with John Summit, Disco Dom, The Martinez Brothers, and more.
Desert Nights 2026 welcomes an exceptional roster of brand partners whose activations are woven into the fabric of the experience. Tao Group Hospitality returns as the event's official hospitality and nightlife partner, bringing their esteemed reputation as the global leader in luxury hospitality to every touchpoint of the evening. All guest passes and table reservations will be available exclusively through Dorsia. As the event’s official access platform, Dorsia enables members and invited guests to secure entry and premium tables through its platform, bringing a streamlined, tech-driven approach to hospitality and guest management throughout the weekend.
“Our partnership with CMG and Desert Nights is an extension of our global brand strategy to work with the best-in-class events across the globe. As we continue on our mission to guide our members to plan their entire social calendars using Dorsia, powering Desert Nights allows us to offer the most premium nightlife experience taking place during the Festival weekends.”
– Marc Lotenberg, Founder & CEO, Dorsia.
Patrón Tequila, the world’s #1 super-premium tequila, returns as the exclusive tequila sponsor, offering guests premium drinks in the brand's limited-time, desert-inspired collector’s cup, available exclusively at select events during the weekend, while Rémy Martin introduces their new white spirit Rémy V and will be offering “The Rémy V Drop” across all pouring points throughout the estate. Heineken continues its cultural presence at the desert's most coveted gatherings as a cornerstone beverage partner, and Red Bull rejoins Desert Nights as the official energy partner.
Following Desert Nights' two-weekend takeover, CMG and its partners return to ZENYARA for Rodeo Nights from Friday, April 24 to Sunday, April 26 2026. Rodeo Nights is a three-night event that reimagines the Desert Nights formula through a country-western lens.
Stay tuned for the full Rodeo Nights 2026 lineup announcement dropping soon.
