AIRBEAT ONE Festival raises the bar once again. For its 2026 edition, the festival reveals a massive Phase 1 line-up featuring 148 artists across all stages. From 8–12 July 2026, the airfield in Neustadt-Glewe will transform into a full-scale Dutch festival city under the theme “Netherlands Edition,” welcoming more than 60,000 visitors from around the world.
Following the strong response to the first headliner announcements, AIRBEAT ONE now significantly expands its program, spanning Hardstyle, Techno, Trance, Psytrance and EDM, alongside Classics and contemporary rave sounds. With its signature large-scale production and meticulously curated stages, the festival once again positions itself among Europe’s most ambitious electronic music events.
The Mainstage becomes a focal point for techno heavyweights, rave icons and EDM superstars. Newly announced is Charlotte de Witte, internationally regarded for her uncompromising, driving techno and headline performances at the world’s biggest festivals. Joining her is Marlon Hoffstadt, who will make his exclusive 2026 Germany appearance only at AIRBEAT ONE Festival, delivering his euphoric, trance-influenced techno sound. Prada2000 adds modern rave energy and hard-techno aesthetics. These artists join previously announced names including Amelie Lens, Boris Brejcha, HBz, Holy Priest, Lilly Palmer, Scooter, Timmy Trumpet and Vini Vici.
In 2026, the Harder Stage becomes the beating heart for hardstyle, hardcore and uptempo fans, with a strong emphasis on Dutch harder-sounds culture. Dr. Peacock brings melodic Frenchcore at the highest level, while Dimitri K featuring MC Robs promises relentless uptempo power. Gezellige Uptempo represents a raw new movement built on pure escalation. Hardcore pioneer Paul Elstak delivers true rave history, Ran-D combines emotional melodies with powerful drops, and The Dark Horror pushes the boundaries of extreme hardcore. Da Tweekaz returns with their unmistakable party-driven hardstyle, while previously announced D-Block & S-te-Fan and Dual Damage round out the stage with hallmark Dutch energy.
The Arena Stage showcases cutting-edge techno and modern hard-techno sounds. Acts such as 999999999 embody analog-driven rave intensity, while Azyr represents one of Europe’s most in-demand hard-techno exports. With CARV, Fantasm, i hate models, Oguz, Paolo Ferrara, Tanja Miju and Vieze Asbak, the stage highlights a new generation spanning industrial, acid and hardgroove influences. These artists build upon groundwork laid by earlier confirmations including Kobosil, Nicolas Julian and Schrotthagen.
At the Groove Castle, melodic grooves meet progressive and hypnotic club sounds. Justin Tinderdate, Mika Heggemann, Odymel, Paraçek and Trancemaster Krause lead a cross-genre mix of house and trance influences. Cara Elizabeth and Davyboi complete the lineup with refined, atmospheric selections tailored to the intimate castle setting.
The Second Stage remains the destination for trance and psytrance enthusiasts. Paul van Dyk returns for the second year in a row, reinforcing his status as one of Germany’s most iconic trance artists. Andrew Rayel, Blastoyz, Babalos, Ranji and Vegas deliver driving melodies and euphoric momentum, complemented by Cloud7, Fabio Fusco, Ghost Rider, LsDirty and Omiki. Nifra had already been announced as part of the initial reveal.
Inside the Terminal Stage, high-energy party sounds collide with modern EDM and viral festival anthems. Artists including Die Gebrüder Brett, Gestört aber GeiL, KaaCee, Komacasper, Le Shuuk, Luca-Dante Spadafora, Taktstörer and TekkSchuster guarantee maximum crowd engagement and non-stop movement.
The Butterfly Stage once again journeys through iconic dance eras, featuring classics alongside party favorites. Aquagen, Cascada, Da Hool, DJ Quicksilver, Special D. and Starsplash deliver legendary anthems, while Alex Christensen performs his dance hits live with his band. Die Atzen celebrate their AIRBEAT ONE Festival debut, promising high-energy party moments, and Dutch legend Charly Lownoise completes the nostalgic yet explosive lineup.
A further highlight for 2026 is the introduction of a brand-new stage concept. With WADE confirmed as its first artist, “The Face” welcomes a top-tier representative of the international tech-house scene, known for groovy, club-oriented sets and standout performances at major events such as Elrow.
