FAQs
When was Season 5?
Event
Season 5 ran from Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2, 2026.
Where was Season 5 held?
Venue
Season 5 was held at Hotel Venezia in Venice, Florida.
What were the Season 5 stages?
Schedule
The published schedule used four primary spaces: The Mirage at the pool, Disco Carousel in the restaurant, Circus Maximus as the main stage, and The Highwire in the lobby. Late-night Silent Circus programming used three silent-disco channels: A, B, and C.
How is the Season 5 lineup ordered on this archive?
Lineup
The Lineup page follows the final published Season 5 flyer and preserves its billing hierarchy and order.
How was the archived schedule reconstructed?
Schedule
The Schedule page follows the published Season 5 timeslot graphics for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, late-night Silent Disco, and Sunday.
Why do some names appear on the schedule but not on the lineup page?
Lineup
The final billing flyer and the published schedule served different purposes. Some artists appeared on the event schedule without appearing on the final billing flyer, so they are shown on the Schedule while the Lineup remains faithful to the final flyer.
