DGTL Festival Unveils Its 14th Edition: A Bold Fusion of Icons, Innovation, and the Next Wave of Talent
April 3–5, 2026 | NDSM Docklands, Amsterdam
After an unforgettable ADE takeover at the NDSM Warehouse, DGTL returns home for its 14th edition at the legendary NDSM Docklands. From April 3 to 5, 2026, the Amsterdam festival once again transforms its industrial playground into a living ecosystem of music, art, sustainability, and community.
Under the theme CTRL//BREAK, DGTL 2026 promises to blur boundaries between the established and the experimental. Today, the first wave of artists has been revealed: an electric mix of international heavyweights, next-gen innovators, and the most forward-thinking acts shaping the future of electronic music. The full program, including Friday’s highly anticipated opening night, will be announced in the coming months.
Saturday, April 4 – The Pulse of Progression
DGTL’s Saturday lineup sets the tone for an explosive weekend. Camelphat bring their unmistakable blend of emotional tension and euphoric release, bridging the space between melodic techno and progressive house. Âme (DJ) & Trikk channel deep, immersive rhythms with hypnotic storytelling, while Interplanetary Criminal injects raw UK energy, threading sharp breaks and garage grit straight from Manchester’s underground.
On the Modular stage, Gotu Jim debuts a live show that merges dark hip hop, house, trap, and hyperpop into something uniquely vulnerable yet club-ready. DGTL favourite Jayda G returns with her joyful mix of disco, house, and funk, embodying the festival’s spirit of connection and consciousness.
Elsewhere, Kamma & Yu Su go B2B for the first time, weaving soulful Amsterdam grooves with Yu Su’s cosmic, dreamlike palette rooted in Chinese folk textures. And then there’s horsegiirLa, a surreal force of performance art and rave culture. Her new audiovisual show dissolves the line between absurdity and euphoria, a fever dream of visuals, vocals, and high-octane club energy that feels made for DGTL’s creative chaos.
Sunday, April 5 – From Emotion to Euphoria
Sunday brings a widescreen journey through the many faces of electronic music. Benwal, fresh off his viral ADE pop-up at Amsterdam Central Station, returns with his signature hard trance and rave energy, reimagined for 2026. Dom Dolla, one of house music’s global torchbearers, delivers the kind of feel-good, festival-sized grooves that have made him a household name.
I Hate Models dives deep into his emotional techno odyssey, blending trance, industrial, and cinematic synthwave to summon both beauty and chaos. Rising star Odymel brings nostalgic melodies fused with futuristic club energy, while DJ Gigola spins a kinetic mix of techno, rap, and hyperpop, proving why Berlin’s underground continues to redefine rave culture.
Representing the Dutch scene, Luuk van Dijk serves his warm, rolling house grooves, equal parts classic swing and modern punch. Closing the circle, Weval (live) return to the DGTL stage with their lush, cinematic sound, this time channelling more rhythm, groove, and late-night emotion than ever before.
