Masters of Balance: Dekmantel Returns for Its 2026 Edition

With world-famous stages spread across the Dutch capital, Dekmantel is a master of balance: from city-centre dancefloors to forested raves, no other festival combines bold experimentation and reflective escapism quite like this one.

Set in key venues across the Dutch capital, this year's edition of Dekmantel brings 150 electronic artists from across the globe - with names including Upsammy, Darkside, Ben UFO & Call Super, Eric Drew and more stretched across across its iconic Amsterdamse Bos home ground and in venues across the city.

This year's edition also contains some innovative highlights, including the debut of an ON2 sound system by NNNN and audio designer Devon Turnbull (OJAS) and the premiere of Jeff Mills' sci-fi techno piece, STARGATE

Dekmantel also includes a free conference in the leafy Tolhuistuin in the north of the city, which features talks from Jyoti, DJ Sprinkles, Mad Miran and RHR with workshops from the likes of Luke Slater, James Holden and more.

A favourite of artists and punters alike, Dekmantel is known for striking the right balance between dance floor abandon and chilled relax, an event perfect for newcomer discovery and long-loved acts .
