Awakenings Festival is set to return to Hilvarenbeek, The Netherlands, from July 10–12, 2026, with the first wave of artists now revealed. Continuing its nearly 30-year legacy, the event promises a weekend shaped by techno’s most respected pioneers and a fresh wave of high-impact talent.
The initial announcement includes leading names such as Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Adam Beyer, and Joris Voorn x Kevin de Vries, with sets spanning the full spectrum of techno. Other highlights include 999999999, Adriatique, Freddy K, Nina Kraviz, and I Hate Models, alongside rising acts like Pegassi, Kettama, DJ Heartstring, Odymel, and Adrián Mills.
With performances spread across multiple stages, the 2026 edition once again reflects Awakenings’ commitment to showcasing the genre’s many branches—from melodic to industrial, hard techno to deep atmospheric sets. The full lineup will be revealed later this January, following a second wave of announcements.
Beyond the music, Awakenings offers one of Europe’s most immersive festival settings, with forested dance floors, open-air stages, and a lakeside campsite. The event attracts a global crowd, known for its state-of-the-art production, group-friendly ticket options, and commitment to sustainability.
