30 more names for Paradise City 2026!


Our line-up is taking shape.
Slowly but surely, the 2026 edition of Paradise City is looking clearer. After a wild launch - the biggest we’ve ever had - we’re ready to share some news again. Today, we’re adding 30 new names to the line-up. Artists who know how to unleash whirlwinds, who can shape long arcs, create contrast and turn any moment into something precious to share with your friends. From live performances to deep club sessions, each name adds another layer to the journey waiting for us in the castle gardens this summer.
Building on earlier names like Richie Hawtin, Floating Points, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Modeselektor and Job Jobse, we continue to move freely between club culture, live electronics and performances that don’t sit neatly in just one box. We’re starting this new wave with a return we’ve been looking forward to for a long time: Marlon Hoffstadt. Two years ago, he delivered what many still consider the most legendary set in Paradise City’s history. This summer, he’s coming back, and his return on Sunday already feels like one of those moments that will define the weekend.
Live music plays a central role once again. We’re welcoming Cassius (live A/V) for a special farewell show, alongside Weval, SWIM, HENGE, John Beltran, Spriitzz, OK EG and 1-800 GIRLS. These acts bring a different kind of energy to our festival, reminding us how powerful live performance can be when it’s given space and attention. The line-up is further shaped by a wide range of influential selectors, cult figures and contemporary club heroes, from Mall Grab, Mochakk, Robag Wruhme and DJ Bone to Fumiya Tanaka, Francesco Del Garda, Rossi., Silva Bumpa, Saoirse, Qendresa, NVST, mischluft, Marsolo, Bibi Seck, Blck Mamba and SAIDAH, alongside several collaborations and back-to-back sets, like fumi & ÜBERKIKZ, Dana Kuehr & DJ Sweet6teen, DC Noises & shoplifter, Alycia Bezgo & NMSS and Dresden (aka Ivan Smagghe & Manfredas).
