Djerba Music Land, often shortened to DML, is the island's electronic music festival. Its 11th edition took place from 6 to 9 August 2026. Its organisers, the company Tunisia Music Land, aim to make Djerba "an essential reference for electronic music in the Mediterranean". The 2027 edition has not yet been announced.

## A festival at the Grand Casino

For the third year running, in 2026 the festival took over the garden terrace of the Grand Casino Djerba, a redeveloped space that can hold up to 3,500 festival-goers a night. The casino is in the tourist zone on the north-east coast, 2 km from the [Radisson Blu Palace](/en/hotels/radisson-blu-palace-djerba/), one of the three hotels chosen by Sabaro on the island; the [Hasdrubal Prestige](/en/hotels/hasdrubal-prestige-djerba/) is also close to the casino.

The 2026 edition invested in production: immersive stage design, the latest sound systems, giant screens, lighting effects and lasers. The previous one, the tenth anniversary in 2025, earned the festival a first Tunisian nomination at the Heavent Awards in Paris, prizes from the events industry.
