AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2026: The Netherlands Edition Brings 148 Artists to Germany
AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2026 once again raises the bar, unveiling a massive Phase 1 line-up featuring 148 artists. From 8 to 12 July 2026, the airfield in Neustadt-Glewe, Germany, will be transformed under the theme “Netherlands Edition” into a Dutch festival city with more than 60,000 residents. After the first headliners already created major excitement, the festival now expands the line-up across all stages, ranging from hardstyle and techno to trance, psytrance and EDM, complemented by classics and contemporary rave sounds.
The Mainstage becomes the central meeting point for techno giants, rave icons and EDM superstars. Charlotte de Witte, one of the most influential techno DJs in the world, joins the line-up. The Belgian artist is known for uncompromising, driving techno on the biggest festival stages and at sold-out shows worldwide. Also newly announced is Marlon Hoffstadt, who will perform exclusively in Germany only at AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2026, bringing his euphoric, trance-inspired techno to the Mainstage. Prada2000 adds rave energy and a modern hard-techno aesthetic, joining already announced names such as Amelie Lens, Boris Brejcha, HBz, Holy Priest, Lilly Palmer, Scooter, Timmy Trumpet and Vini Vici.
In 2026, the Harder Stage becomes the epicenter for hardstyle, hardcore and uptempo fans, featuring numerous Dutch acts. Hardcore legend Dr. Peacock represents melodic Frenchcore at the highest level, while Dimitri K feat. MC Robs promises relentless uptempo power. Gezellige Uptempo brings fresh escalation and raw energy to the stage. In keeping with the Netherlands theme, Paul Elstak, one of the founding fathers of hardcore, delivers true rave history, while Ran-D convinces with emotional hardstyle and massive drops. From Brussels, The Dark Horror pushes extreme hardcore to its limits, and Norway’s hardstyle export Da Tweekaz brings their unmistakable mix of party hardstyle and festival anthems. The line-up is rounded off by previously announced acts D-Block & S-te-Fan and Dual Damage.
The Arena Stage offers the perfect setting for techno and modern hard-techno. 999999999 stands for analog live energy and uncompromising rave techno. Azyr is currently among Europe’s most in-demand hard-techno acts, delivering fast and brutal sets. With CARV, Fantasm, i hate models, Oguz, Paolo Ferrara, Tanja Miju and Vieze Asbak, the stage brings together the spearhead of a new generation spanning industrial, acid and hardgroove. The foundation for this sound was already laid by acts confirmed in the first announcement such as Kobosil, Nicolas Julian and Schrotthagen.
At the Groove Castle, melodic grooves meet progressive club sounds. Justin Tinderdate, Mika Heggemann, Odymel, Paraçek and Trancemaster Krause represent a fresh, cross-genre mix of house, trance and hypnotic rhythms. They are supported by Cara Elizabeth and Davyboi, who also deliver stylish vibes in the Groove Castle.
The Second Stage is dedicated to trance and psytrance fans. Paul van Dyk returns for the second year in a row, Germany’s absolute trance icon. Andrew Rayel, Blastoyz, Babalos, Ranji and Vegas deliver euphoric melodies and driving basslines. The line-up is complemented by Cloud7, Fabio Fusco, Ghost Rider, LsDirty and Omiki, representing modern psy and trance sounds. Nifra was already revealed as part of the line-up in the first announcement.
Inside the Terminal tent, high-energy party sounds meet modern EDM and TikTok hits. Die Gebrüder Brett, Gestört aber GeiL, KaaCee, Komacasper, Le Shuuk, Luca-Dante Spadafora, Taktstörer and TekkSchuster stand for maximum crowd energy and guaranteed mayhem.
The Butterfly Stage once again travels through the great dance decades, delivering classics as well as party hits from Mallorca to Mykonos. With Aquagen, Cascada, Da Hool, DJ Quicksilver, Special D. and Starsplash, legendary anthems and euphoric festival moments are guaranteed. Alex Christensen even brings his band to perform all his dance hymns live. Absolute party escalation is also expected with the AIRBEAT ONE Festival debut of Die Atzen. From “Disco Pogo” to “Das geht ab,” Frauenarzt and Manny Marc will certainly keep the celebration going all night. And of course, the Dutch must not be missing here either, with Charly Lownoise already confirmed in Phase 1.
There is also exciting news regarding the stages themselves. With WADE, the new stage “The Face” gains its first representative and top-tier house reinforcement. The Spaniard is among the most sought-after names in the international tech-house scene and stands for groovy, club-style sets, as he impressively demonstrated this year at the Elrow parties at UNVRS Club.
