Win VIP Passes to the Halfway’s 2026 Block Events With Zedd, deadmau5, Hardwell and Extra

San Francisco already owns Fourth of July. Now The Midway is once again making sure you don’t forget it.

deadmau5, Nero and Christoph are joining this year’s IllUM Block Party on July 4th, slotting into what is already shaping up to be the city’s signature summer event series for electronic music fans. The announcement completes an expansive lineup that reads like a festival poster, attached to a venue that operates like one.

The Midway’s ‘Block Party SZN’ runs April through October, and 2026’s edition spans 12 dates headlined by Hardwell, Zedd, Deorro, Galantis, Gorgon City, ATLiens and now this latest wave of additions. Each event brings food trucks and interactive art installations alongside multiple indoor stages, where local talent gets proper room to breathe between headliner sets. Ticket tiers cover GA, VIP and the Skydeck VVIP experience, which puts you above the fog line.

To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with The Midway to give away a pair of VIP tickets to a ‘Block Party SZN’ show of your choice. Read on to discover details and how to enter.
