recap.festival will make its debut at the Red Sea resort of El Gouna, Egypt, from 29th December 2026 to 2nd January 2027, with PAWSA, Seth Troxler and DESIREE headlining five days of beach parties and sunset sessions.

Presented by Venture Lifestyle and P+US, recap.festival’s three main days run from 30th December to 1st January, with opening and closing events on either days; 29th December and 2nd January. The announced line-up includes PAWSA, Seth Troxler, Joseph Capriati, DESIREE, Fideles, Bedouin, RIVO, Birds of Mind, Fleur Shore, Max Styler with more to come.

The three main days, 30th December to 1st January, run from 8pm to midnight and span New Year’s Eve, with music-led events across El Gouna. Built around lagoons, marinas and beaches, the Red Sea resort town north of Hurghada has waterfront dining, beach clubs and nightlife, and is a hub for kitesurfing and sailing.

“El Gouna has everything we look for in a destination experience: the Red Sea, beautiful weather, a vibrant community, and a lifestyle that naturally brings people together. Recap is about building on that energy and creating something that goes beyond music, where the entire city becomes part of the experience.” says Rabih Mokbel, Founder of Venture Lifestyle and P+US, he continued “The timing felt right to bring this concept to life. People are looking for more than a night out; they want experiences they can travel for, connect through, and remember. RECAP brings music, culture, food, wellness, and New Year’s celebrations together in one destination, giving people a different way to close the year and welcome the next.”

Beyond the music programme, the festival will incorporate curated dining and creative activities to enrich mind, body and soul for an unmissable five-day New Year getaway.

recap.festival takes place in El Gouna, Red Sea, Egypt, from December 29th, 2026, to January 2nd, 2027. The main festival programme runs from December 30th, 2026, to January 1st, 2027.
