Brennan Heart, Dual Damage and Charly Lownoise lead the Dutch lineup for the “Netherlands Edition” – Amelie Lens, Boris Brejcha, Charlotte de Witte, Holy Priest, Lilly Palmer, Scooter, Timmy Trumpet, Vini Vici and more kick off the international announcements.
The preparations for AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2026 are in full swing. The 23rd edition will take place from 8–12 July 2026 and will transport visitors to the “Netherlands”, home to countless DJ megastars and birthplace of the modern festival culture. Fittingly, the first artist announcement already features a strong Dutch contingent.
Fans can look forward to four heavyweight acts from the Dutch dance scene. Leading the charge is Brennan Heart, the undisputed Mister Hardstyle and one of the genre’s global icons. After his spectacular Mainstage set at the last edition—marking the first-ever Hardstyle performance on that stage—he will once again deliver the harder sounds in 2026. And of course, “Wonderful Days” needs no introduction: the legendary Happy Hardcore anthem by Dutch duo Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo. Charly Lownoise has practically become a Butterfly Stage resident, guaranteeing the most euphoric throwback journey of the weekend. The Dutch Hardstyle duos D-Block & S-te-Fan and Dual Damage complete the first Harder Stage announcement.
Techno has long since reclaimed Mainstages worldwide, and AIRBEAT ONE was one of the first festivals to showcase the genre at this scale. With Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte and Lilly Palmer, 2026 will bring three Techno queens to the Mainstage. Joining them are three major German Techno heavyweights: Alfred Heinrichs, Boris Brejcha and Holy Priest. Adding to the impact is Scooter—one of the most successful Techno acts of all time—returning to Neustadt-Glewe.
EDM remains an essential part of one of the world’s largest and most spectacular Mainstages. Australian superstar and Top 10 DJ Timmy Trumpet will bring his unmistakable energy to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Psytrance legends Vini Vici from Israel and Novah complete the first Mainstage announcement.
On the Arena Stage, fans can expect dark, driving sounds from German DJ Kobosil, along with cinematic hard techno from Nicolas Julian and Schrotthagen. The PsyTrance community can look forward to stars like Andrew Rayel and Slovakian DJane Nifra on the Second Stage.
A brand-new stage will debut in 2026: the Groove Castle. The first confirmed acts, Cara Elizabeth and Davyboi, will deliver vibrant house and groove sounds.
The Butterfly Stage will once again transform into a nostalgic sanctuary with Charly Lownoise, Aquagen, Cascada, DJ Gollum and DJ Quicksilver delivering unforgettable classics.
