DGTL Amsterdam 2026 has officially dropped its second wave of artists, solidifying its reputation as the definitive kickoff to the European festival season. Scheduled for April 3–5, 2026, this edition introduces a bold new conceptual framework CTRL//BREAK which is not just any other theme but indeed a manifesto for disrupting old patterns and reimagining the festival as a living, breathing ecosystem of innovation and sound.

While the first wave gave us heavyweights like Camelphat, Dom Dolla, and I Hate Models, the second wave dives deeper into the avant-garde and the high-energy selectors who define the current “now” in electronic music.

Young Marco, The Amsterdam local and master of the unexpected brings his signature “anything goes” style to the docklands. Diffrent, fresh off a legendary ADE performance, he returns to deliver the sharp, high-velocity sets that have made him a global name to watch. Jan Blomqvist (Live) bringing his unmistakable “concert-meets-club” energy, his live setup is set to provide the weekend’s most cinematic moments. Joy Orbison, titan of the UK scene, his evolution continues to baffle and delight surely can expect a masterclass in UK-inflected techno and house. NOVAH, adding serious momentum to the Sunday lineup, NOVAH represents the deep, radiant sound that carries the crowd through the festival’s final hours.

Tickets are moving at a record pace, make sure you are not missed out on this epic musical journey, grab those passes on the official website.
