After the first headliners already sparked huge excitement, the festival now follows up with a major expansion of the line-up across all stagesranging from Hardstyle and Techno to Trance, Psytrance and EDM, plus Classics and contemporary rave sounds.

The Mainstage will become the central meeting point for techno giants, rave icons and EDM superstars. With Charlotte de Witte, one of the world's most influential techno DJs joins the line-up.

They join blockbuster names from the first artist announcements 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 fanspacked with Dutch harder-sounds acts. Hardcore legend Dr Peacockk represents melodic Frenchcore at the highest level, while Dimitri K feat. MC Robs promises relentless uptempo destruction. Gezellige Uptempo brings a new movement to the stagepure escalation and raw energy. 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 Horrorpushes dark, extreme hardcore to the limits of what's possible. Norway's hardstyle export Da Tweekaz brings their unmistakable mix of party hardstyle and festival anthems to Neustadt-Glewe. This powerful line-up is rounded off by previously announced D-Block & S-te-Fan and Dual Damage, of course also from the Netherlands.

The Arena Stage provides the perfect playground for techno and modern hard-techno aesthetics. 999999999 stands for analog live energy and uncompromising rave techno. Azyr is among Europe's most in-demand hard-techno acts right now, delivering fast, brutal sets. With CARV, Fantasm, i hate models, Oguz, Paolo Ferrara, Tanja Miju and Vieze Asbak, the stage gathers the spearhead of a new generation spanning industrial, acid and hardgroove. The groundwork 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. The newcomers will be supported by Cara Elizabeth and Davyboi, who will also deliver stylish vibes in the Groove Castle.

The Second Stage is home to trance and psytrance fans. Paul van Dyk returns for the second year in a rowGermany'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, numerous acts guarantee legendary anthems and euphoric festival moments. 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: Charly Lownoise, already named in Phase 1.

There is also exciting news regarding the stages themselves: with WADE, the new stage "The Face" gets 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 setssomething he impressively demonstrated this year at the Elrow parties at UNVRS Club.
