Dekmantel Festival has announced Dekmantel at Dawn, a new morning chapter that expands its 2026 program into a full 36-hour weekend experience. The series will take place daily from 11:00 to 14:00 at the RADAR terrain in Amsterdamse Bos, exclusively for weekend ticket holders.
Set to run from July 31 to August 2, 2026, At Dawn will transform Dekmantel’s forest stages into early-day settings for site-specific performances and immersive sound journeys. The initial lineup features James Holden & Surgeon (live), DJ Sprinkles’ Deeperama, Jeff Mills debuting STARGATE, Sampha (DJ set), Eris Drew’s Mystery of the Motherbeat, Jane Fitz presents Morning Colours, Channel One, Colin Benders, and Kuniyuki & Satoshi Tomiie (live).
The new concept invites festivalgoers to experience a continuous flow from sunrise into the day’s main programming. Additional features include live talks, workshops, and a parallel program for campers, including afterparties and daytime hangouts.
The full Dekmantel Festival 2026 lineup will be revealed in January.
