SXM Festival has unveiled the first wave of artists for its 10th edition, set to take place March 17-21, 2027 on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Bob Sinclar, MEDUZA, Sasha, Claptone, Dombresky, Franky Rizardo and Brunello lead the initial lineup announcement, with additional names including Guy Gerber, Patrick Topping, Dennis Cruz, Chelina Manuhutu, Deer Jade, Matt Sassari and Max Styler also confirmed.

The festival, which launched in 2016, is known for spreading its programming across multiple venues rather than a single site, with events held on beaches, at villas, in clubs and on hilltops across both the French and Dutch sides of the island. According to the festival, past editions have drawn attendees from more than 58 countries and have featured artists such as Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, Bonobo and Richie Hawtin.

Festival founder Julian Prince said the event has never aimed to be the largest festival but rather to create lasting experiences for attendees. The 10th edition follows the festival’s recovery from Hurricane Irma in 2017 and a pandemic-related pause.

Aurora, Ontario singer-songwriter Laura Fortini has released “Shattered,” her second public single, which will appear as the tenth track on her forthcoming 14-song self-titled debut album. The song follows her October 2025 debut single “Look In” and precedes a planned radio single, “Lights Went Out.”

Fortini says the track was inspired by a private family situation involving her twin brother, written within days of witnessing the conflict. She co-created the song with producer Mathew Teofilo, known as Songsbury, aiming to preserve the emotional rawness of the experience in the final recording. A lyric video is available now, with a full music video to follow.

According to the announcement, Fortini’s previous single “Lights Went Out” drew coverage from outlets including Tinnitist, Cashbox Canada, Record World International and Aurora Today, as well as broadcast mentions from CW33 in Dallas, ATV Today in the UK and Concert Monkey in Belgium. Fortini, who studies at York University while continuing Royal Conservatory of Music training, has now completed three of the 14 tracks planned for her debut album.
