Taking place in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands from July 10-12 2026, Awakenings has long been regarded as a cornerstone of techno culture and a meeting point for underground purists, cutting-edge artists, large-scale production done right. The newly announced phase adds fresh energy and depth to an already powerful first announcement.

With the second phase of its 2026 lineup and schedule now announced, the legendary Dutch festival is making it massive with Bart Skils, Josh Baker, Mahmut Orhan, Shimza, Pan-Pot and many more, reinforcing its commitment to representing the full spectrum of techno. This new wave introduces a mix of established heavy hitters, rising names, and special collaborative performances a hallmark of Awakenings’ curatorial style.

Alongside the lineup update, Awakenings has also shared further details on how the 2026 weekend will unfold with day wise scheduel for already announced artists from Phase1 and 2 lineup. While exact set times and stage allocations will follow closer to the event, the broader schedule framework is now clear.

Each day is designed with a distinct rhythm with opening day sets the pace, easing dancers into the weekend with high-energy performances and statement sets. Saturday delivers the festival’s core experience, with packed stages running from day into night and a wide range of techno styles colliding. Closing day brings emotional finales, longer journeys, and the kind of closing sets Awakenings has become famous for.

With camping options, extended programming, and a truly international crowd, Awakenings is less a weekend event and more a temporary techno city, where connection on the dancefloor is just as important as the artists on stage and with the second phase now revealed, anticipation naturally turns toward the final lineup announcement and detailed timetables.
