Empire Music Festival is coming back to Guatemala May 1–2, 2026 at Finca El Jocotillo, and the 2026 bill makes the thesis obvious: this is a true multi-genre swing that’s also culturally rooted in Latin and local programming.

We ran this year’s lineup through Booking Agent Info’s music industry directory to map the booking agencies behind the names, and here’s what we found.

The headline is Wasserman leading at 17%. Their artists include DJ Snake, Dombresky, and Subtronics.

UTA is next at 14%, with Illenium, MORTEN, and DØMINA, among others.

CAA sits at 7% with artists like Amelie Lens, Cloonee, and San Pacho, and WME also lands at 7% with names like Galantis, Innellea, and Myke Towers.

AUL Touring is at 5%, booking Alexis y Fido and Victor Mendivil, and HYBE shows up at the same share, representing Kapo and Santos Bravos.

45% of the line-up is repped by a variety of other agencies, and artists who handle their bookings in-house

But the most interesting takeaway might be the one you don’t see if you only stare at agency percentages: EMF is still making room for Guatemala to sound like Guatemala.

Names like Wongraphy, Armandd G, Bohemia Suburbana, Camila Orantes, and Glass Collective aren’t just “support slots”, they’re the identity layer that keeps the festival connected to the local scene.
