Visas acquired for 2026, and Mexico's Out of Control Army is making their long-awaited return to Supernova for the first time in 3 years!

Hotels and Camping
We have hotel blocks up online. We included The Landing Hotel, Sonesta Simply Suites, and The Colonies RV & Travel Park as hotel partners this year.
The Landing is downtown Hampton which is the closest hotel to the festival, Sonesta has $93 Studio Suites, and The Colonies is camping within walking distance. There are other hotels, but we've found that rates are cheaper on sites like Expedia.
THANK YOU 2026 SPONSORS!
Thank you to all of our sponsors that are making the 2026 festival possible! Special thanks to 96X who is a presenting sponsor this year!
