Paradise City Festival has revealed the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, taking place from June 26th to 28th on the castle grounds of Kasteel Ribaucourt. The eleventh edition arrives under the theme Beneath The Surface, promising a multilayered experience where electronic music, nature, and sustainability converge.
Among the 26 artists announced are scene-shaping veterans and fresh innovators. Richie Hawtin and Modeselektor (Live) lead a program that also includes UK staples Floating Points and Palms Trax, while Job Jobse returns to the Forest Stage following a memorable closing set in 2024. Other highlights include Interplanetary Criminal, DJ HEARTSTRING, CARISTA, Steffi & Virginia, and Jane Fitz & Marco Shuttle.
The 2026 lineup is designed to shift with the rhythm of the day, offering hypnotic storytelling in the afternoon and high-energy movement by night. From bass-driven experiments to euphoric techno, the curation reflects Paradise City’s dedication to flow, balance, and emotional depth.
Live performance plays a central role this year, with appearances by Takuya Nakamura, Octo Octa, Mind Enterprises, and Map.ache (Live). The inclusion of ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and Aayna signals a new generation of digital-native artists, while Dutch band De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig will deliver a rare full-band performance.
Beyond the music, Beneath The Surface invites attendees to engage more deeply with their surroundings through new installations, hidden spaces, and responsive stage design.
