Amsterdam’s industrial cathedral is calling once again. DGTL Festival has published its complete 2026 line-up, confirming that the 14th edition will be one of its most expansive yet! Returning to the raw, post-industrial venue of the NDSM Docklands, DGTL continues to brinf global heavyweights, next-gen artists and incredible night programming into a three-day easter celebration!
After teasing fans during Amsterdam Dance Event, now dropped DGTL’s team told us what’s really in store for the 2026 edition!
Friday, April 3
The weekend kicks off with house royalty. Armand van Helden headlines Friday’s opening, bringing decades of dancefloor anthems and remix wizardry to the Docklands. Expect a ride through classic house cuts and peak-time bombs from one of the genre’s most influential arists.
He’s joined by Dutch selector Benny Rodrigues alongside Eileen and Kirollus, setting the tone with groove-heavy house and disco vibrations. Opening night at DGTL has become a statement in itself!
Saturday, April 4
Saturday’s daytime program balances underground credibility with high-impact crossover energy. International forces like Camelphat, Âme & Trikk, Gerd Janson, FJAAK and Colyn b2b Mees Salomé anchor the bill with melodic depth and driving techno precision.
New additions sharpen the edge: Kamma & Yu Su bring genre-fluid experimentation, while HorsegiirL lands with a galopping audiovisual live show that’s as surreal as it is euphoric.
Berlin’s breakout duo DJ HEARTSTRING return to DGTL after their incredivle show last year, with bouncy mainstage energy and underground feeling.
Saturday night keeps the pulse elevated. Aldonna & Merel Helderman, Gerd Janson and Tjade steer the crowd into after-hours territory where club energy meets experimental textures.
Sunday, April 5
Sunday we won’t be looking for chocolate eggs, but rather experience DJ Tennis linking with Dutch rising force Toman for a set we haven’t seen like this before!
Live electronics take center stage as Jan Blomqvist delivers his signature “concert techno”: a must-see at DGTL!
The new wave shows up strong. Twiena and Riria bring global club energy with a rush of rave spirit, while Groningen’s Benwal represents the Dutch scene with confidence. Big names like Dom Dolla, I Hate Models, Odymel, Luuk van Dijk and Weval (live) make sure Sunday feels just as powerful as Saturday.
Then comes the afterglow.
Sunday night wraps up the 2026 edition with Avalon Emerson & Ineffekt, Emvae & Moxes, and the always-electric Patrick Mason for a closing made for night owls who don’t want to end the weekend just yet!
More Than Just the Line-Up
Since its 2013 debut, DGTL has grown into far more than a festival. In 2022, it became the world’s first circular dance festival, committing fully to sustainability, resource reuse and forward-thinking event design. Through initiatives like the DGTL Safe(r) Project, the organization continues to push conversations around inclusivity, ethics and social safety on the dancefloor.
From Amsterdam, DGTL has expanded globally with editions in Santiago, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Lima, but its spiritual core remains at NDSM, where cranes loom over concrete and basslines echo off shipyard steel.
DGTL Festival returns and we can not wait to be there!
