AIRBEAT ONE Festival has announced its Phase 1 lineup for 2026, revealing 148 artists set to perform from July 8 to July 12 at the airfield in Neustadt-Glewe. Framed as the Netherlands Edition, the festival will once again transform the site into a fully built festival city, welcoming more than 60,000 attendees and spanning sounds from techno and hardstyle to trance, psytrance, EDM, and rave classics.
The Mainstage lineup expands with Charlotte de Witte at the top of the bill, joined by Marlon Hoffstadt in his only German festival appearance of 2026, alongside Prada2000. They join previously announced names including Amelie Lens, Boris Brejcha, Scooter, Timmy Trumpet, and Vini Vici. The programming reflects AIRBEAT ONE’s commitment to scale and range, placing underground-driven techno and high-energy festival sounds side by side.
Harder styles take center stage on the Harder Stage, led by Dr. Peacock, Dimitri K feat. MC Robs, Paul Elstak, Ran-D, and Da Tweekaz. The Arena Stage sharpens its focus on hard-techno and industrial sounds with 999999999, Azyr, i hate models, and Oguz, while the Groove Castle and Second Stage explore melodic techno, trance, and psytrance through artists like Paul van Dyk, Andrew Rayel, Blastoyz, and Ranji.
Across the Terminal and Butterfly stages, the festival leans into party culture and dance history, featuring Cascada, Alex Christensen with live band, Die Atzen, and Charly Lownoise. The breadth of Phase 1 shows a lineup built with intent and balance, where genre depth and crowd-scale energy coexist without dilution.
