With names like 999999999, &ME, DVS1, Len Faki b2b Quest, MARRØN, PAWSA, and Vintage Culture already confirmed, Voodoo Village starts outlining its 2026 edition. Returning to the castle grounds of Humbeek in Grimbergen from September 11 to 13, the Belgian boutique festival offers an early glimpse into what will be its eleventh gathering, one that once again places intention and atmosphere at the center of the experience.
Over the years, Voodoo Village has carved out a distinct space within Europe’s electronic music landscape by prioritising clarity and balance over size or spectacle. The festival unfolds across five carefully designed stages, each with a clear identity, creating a compact ecosystem where sound, environment, and people move together. And this first announcement works as an early outline of what’s to come.
At the heart of the lineup are artists whose presence defines the festival’s techno backbone. 999999999, DVS1, Len Faki b2b Quest, MARRØN, and Adrián Mills represent different generations and approaches, yet they share a common focus on depth and long-form narratives. Their performances usually develop at a measured pace, unfolding gradually across the set.
That intensity is balanced by artists who continue to blur the lines between underground culture and wider dancefloor language. &ME and PAWSA arrive alongside Vintage Culture and Young Marco, reflecting a programming approach that embraces contrast without forcing it. Their presence underlines the way different scenes coexist within the festival’s framework.
Live performances expand the festival’s musical vocabulary even further. Monolink, NTO, Parra for Cuva, Rampue, Nohr, and Avaion bring formats that move beyond traditional DJ sets, introducing emotion, melody, and hybrid structures into the weekend. They add a different tempo to the festival, broadening the range of experiences across the site.
Depth and detail remain central to the curation. Artists such as Agents of Time, Carlita, Franky Rizardo, Meera, Afnan Prince, and Blck Mamba add texture across styles and tempos, while carefully selected back-to-back sets from Blasha and Allatt, Cloudy b2b ØTTA, and Helena Lauwaert b2b Saidah introduce dialogue and spontaneity into the programme.
The setting itself plays an active role in shaping the experience. Spread across five element-inspired stages, each space is designed with a specific energy in mind. From large-scale communal moments to more intimate, forward-facing environments, the festival encourages movement between different states rather than anchoring the audience in one place. Surrounded by forest and historic architecture, the site is not only a backdrop but also part of the rhythm.
Underlying everything is a broader philosophy that treats the festival as a living system. Technology and nature are not presented as opposing forces but as elements in conversation. Spaces are designed to accommodate both silence and intensity, enabling rituals to unfold through sound, environment, and collective presence. Wellness, self-care, and reflection are woven into the experience.
With this first phase, Voodoo Village 2026 refines what it has steadily built over the past decade. More artists and full stage programming will be revealed in the coming months, but the direction is already clear. Once again, the village is preparing a space where electronic music is lived collectively, shaped by rhythm, place, and the people who gather within it. Tickets are now available via the festival’s website, with options for single-day access or full passes covering all three days.
