Opening Night — Friday, April 3
The weekend kicks off with a spectacular opening night featuring legendary DJ and producer Armand van Helden, one of the most influential figures in house and dance music, bringing his iconic classics — a celebration of decades of groundbreaking productions and remixes.
The audience will also take a musical journey with Benny Rodrigues, Eileen and Kirollus, who will present a powerful blend of house and disco to set the tone for the weekend.
Saturday, April 4
Saturday offers an energetic combination of house, techno and live performances. Alongside already announced favourites such as Camelphat, Âme & Trikk, Gerd Janson, FJAAK and Colyn & Mees Salomé, DGTL adds new highlights including Kamma & Yu Su and the audiovisual live show by HorsegiirL.
DJ HEARTSTRING also returns — the Berlin duo that has made waves in recent years with their Trance Dance Music. After recognition from BBC Radio 1 Future Stars, their Boiler Room debut and international tours across the US, Europe and Australia, they combine energetic bouncing beats with emotional depth, becoming one of Europe’s most in-demand acts. Their set promises an explosion of groove and euphoria.
As night falls over the Docklands, the energy will not drop. Saturday night’s programme presents an eclectic mix of club energy and experimental beats with Aldonna & Merel Helderman, Gerd Janson and Tjade, keeping the crowd dancing until Sunday morning.
Sunday, April 5
During the day on Sunday, DJ Tennis and Toman form a striking combination of international and local talent. DJ Tennis is a renowned Italian artist seen on global stages, while Toman is a rising star in the Dutch scene. Together they create a set built on flow, emotion and movement.
Jan Blomqvist (live) will bring his signature “concert techno” to the venue: melancholic vocals, warm analogue textures and subtle rhythms creating a hypnotic and emotional experience.
Twiena and Riria, two rising stars from Amsterdam and London/Tokyo, will bring fresh energy. Twiena’s genre-fluid rave sets and Riria’s playful blend of global club and amapiano promise unforgettable moments.
Completing the daytime programme — and one of the biggest draws for both Dutch and international audiences — will be Groningen DJ Benwal, alongside Dom Dolla, I Hate Models, Odymel, Luuk van Dijk and Weval (live), delivering powerful sets and eclectic live performances.
Sunday night will be a major highlight for night owls with Avalon Emerson & Ineffekt, Emvae & Moxes and Patrick Mason, bringing depth through hypnotic techno, house and electronic grooves.
