Awakenings Festival has announced the second wave of artists for its 2026 edition, expanding the lineup for its return to Hilvarenbeek, The Netherlands, from July 10th to 12th. The new additions build on the previously revealed names, continuing to shape the scope of next year’s program.
Among the latest confirmations are DJ Gigola x Funk Tribu, Azyr, Bad Boombox, Cynthia Spiering x Reinier Zonneveld (live), Dax J, DJ Rush, Mahmut Orhan x Shimza, Pan-Pot, Josh Baker, Cloonee, Grace Dahl, Novah, Serafina, Bart Skils, and collaborative sets including Chlär x Yanamaste and Franck x Upper90. The second wave brings together driving techno, harder-edged sounds, groove-led crossover acts, and darker club-focused approaches.
These additions join a first wave featuring Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Pegassi, Adrián Mills, Kettama, Rødhåd, 999999999, and I Hate Models. Together, the roster reflects a broad take on techno and related styles, from melodic and hypnotic strands to hard and industrial-leaning territory, anchored in the genre’s four-to-the-floor foundation.
The festival’s setting remains central to its identity. Each summer, Hilvarenbeek hosts multiple stage designs, large-scale production, forest dance floors, open fields, and a lakeside campsite with beach areas and swimming spots, drawing techno fans from around the world.
The final wave of artists is set to be announced at the end of January, completing the full lineup for Awakenings Festival 2026.
