AIRBEAT ONE Festival has officially unveiled the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, taking place from 8–12 July 2026 in Neustadt-Glewe. The 23rd edition will celebrate the “Netherlands Edition,” paying tribute to the country that shaped modern festival culture and produced some of the world’s top electronic music acts. Fittingly, the first announcement highlights a powerful Dutch presence across multiple stages.
Leading the Dutch contingent is Brennan Heart, one of Hardstyle’s most influential figures. Following his groundbreaking Mainstage Hardstyle set in 2024, he returns in 2026 to deliver another high-intensity performance. Fans can also expect a nostalgic explosion from Charly Lownoise, known worldwide for the Happy Hardcore classic “Wonderful Days.” Completing the Harder Stage lineup are Dutch Hardstyle favourites D-Block & S-te-Fan and Dual Damage.
The festival continues its strong Techno focus next year. Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, and Lilly Palmer—three of the genre’s most prominent global artists—are confirmed for the Mainstage. German heavyweights Boris Brejcha, Holy Priest, and Alfred Heinrichs will join them, while legendary act Scooter returns with their unmistakeable high-energy sound.
On the EDM and Trance front, Timmy Trumpet brings his signature showmanship back to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Psytrance icons Vini Vici and rising act Novah complete the first Mainstage reveal.
Across the grounds, each stage features a carefully curated mix of established names and new energy. The Arena Stage welcomes the hard-edged Techno of Kobosil, alongside cinematic, high-BPM sets from Nicolas Julian and Schrotthagen. The Second Stage brings Trance and Psy favourites Andrew Rayel and Nifra, promising euphoric, high-melody sets.
A major addition to 2026 is the launch of a brand-new area: Groove Castle. The first confirmed acts—Cara Elizabeth and Davyboi—will introduce a fresh blend of house, groove, and uplifting rhythms.
The beloved Butterfly Stage returns as AIRBEAT ONE’s classic haven, featuring nostalgic sets from Charly Lownoise, Aquagen, Cascada, DJ Gollum, and DJ Quicksilver, bringing festival-goers back to the golden era of dance music.
In total, 25 artists have been announced as part of the first lineup release for the 2026 edition. Ticket demand is already strong, with the 3-Day Regular Ticket – Full Weekend currently available in Presale Phase 1 for €175.99 (incl. fees) at:
