A Star-Studded Lineup
Leading the exciting lineup is DJ Snake, a titan in the electronic music scene whose contributions include legendary tracks like “Turn Down for What,” “Lean On,” and “Taki Taki.” Known for his dynamic performances across the globe, his presence at 12:XII signifies the event’s commitment to featuring world-class talent.

An Exquisite Setting in Marbella
The Recinto Ferial de San Pedro Alcántara will serve as the stunning open-air venue for the festival. Set against a backdrop of swaying palm trees and an elevated view of downtown Marbella, this location combines natural beauty with a vibrant atmosphere. Festival-goers can expect state-of-the-art installations, including giant LED screens, ice cannons, and an advanced sound system that will elevate the experience to new heights.
Marbella itself is famous for its enchanting combination of Mediterranean charm and luxurious offerings, featuring a coastline adorned with beach clubs, gourmet dining, and upscale accommodations. Its old town is a labyrinth of whitewashed buildings, vibrant bougainvillea, and cobbled streets, creating the ideal ambiance for an unforgettable festival weekend.
The Concept Behind 12:XII
The festival gets its name from a significant moment celebrated in December 2012, marking a connection to time that resonates deeply with its founders. The mission behind 12:XII is to curate an experience that moves beyond the usual festival structure, focusing instead on the idea that time is a luxurious commodity. The concept Beyond Time indicates that a single extraordinary night can linger in collective memory, enriching lives well beyond its actual occurrence.
This philosophy is articulated by the festival’s founder, who stated, “Great brands are built around an idea, not an event. 12:XII was born from the belief that time is the ultimate luxury, and that one extraordinary night can live far beyond the moment itself.”
Luxurious Experiences Await
Guests will not only be treated to stellar performances but also to an elevated VIP experience designed to immerse them in luxury. The carefully curated venue will feature an exclusive backstage area and VIP tables positioned among the palm trees, merging comfort with the vibrant festival atmosphere.
General admission tickets for this anticipated event start at €49, making it accessible for a wide audience. For those seeking a more lavish experience, limited VIP tables are also available. Fans can secure their spot through the official festival website, where ticket sales are currently underway.
12:XII stands as more than just a music festival; it embodies a luxurious celebration of life, sound, and unforgettable moments in the heart of Marbella. Fans and newcomers alike can look forward to an extraordinary lineup and immersive experience that epitomizes the spirit of electronic music and festival culture.
