Dream Nation Festival 2026: The Second Wave of Artists Finally Unveiled

HALLOWEEN ON AN EPIC SCALE

Halloween is set to be more electric than ever. For its 13th edition, Dream Nation takes over Paris Nord Exhibition Centre on October 30 and 31, 2026 with a clear ambition: to turn this weekend into a huge sonic, visual and festive playground. Over two nights, nearly 40,000 festival-goers are expected to step into a parallel universe, surrounded by monumental stage designs, Halloween thrills and electronic shockwaves.

With more than 60 artists across six stages, Dream Nation will bring together every intensity of electronic music, from electro to techno, from drum & bass to trance, from dubstep to hard music. After a first announcement that set the tone for an already exceptional edition, the festival now unveils a second wave of artists and confirms the growing power of its line-up. International icons, cult figures, new revelations, rare live shows and exclusive B2B sets join a programme designed to explore every facet of the electronic spectrum, from the most hypnotic trances to the most radical kicks.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30: PULSAR STAGE

On the Pulsar Stage, Dream Nation confirms the full force of its techno and hard techno line-up. Already led by Novah, a new essential icon of the scene, and Alignment, a major figure of the new European techno wave, the stage will also feature the explosive B2B between Vortek’s and Creeds, two emblematic figures of French hard music, as well as Marion Di Napoli with her immersive “mystical techno”, Matrakk, an emerging talent in euphoric techno trance, and the industrial face-off Toxic Machinery b2b Kruelty, making its French debut.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30:  WARZONE STAGE

On the Warzone Stage, Dream Nation deploys a hard music arena built for thrill-seekers, between hardstyle euphoria and hardcore detonations. Da Tweekaz, true global hardstyle superstars, will bring their festive and wild energy, while Todiefor will shake up the codes with his hybrid approach blending rave and rap, powered by the Pandemonium Reloaded phenomenon alongside Vald and Vladimir Cauchemar. The pressure will rise further with the explosive B2B between Hysta and Korsakoff, bringing together two major hardcore figures, before making way for TNT, the legendary duo formed by Technoboy and Tuneboy, a historic incarnation of hardstyle. Slaughterhouse, the project uniting N-Vitral and Deadly Guns, will deliver a frontal collision between two hardcore heavyweights, while Warface, emblematic figure of raw hardstyle, and young prodigy Samuel Moriero will sign a highly anticipated world premiere B2B.

This second wave pushes the stage even further into high-voltage territory with Angerfist [LIVE], an absolute monument of global hardcore, presenting a rare format with MC Prozac, machines, iconic masks and cult anthems. Rebelion, raw hardstyle heavyweights, and Dual Damage, a meteoric phenomenon of the genre, will impose their extra raw signature and ultra-heavy kicks. Another major moment: Dimitri K will join Lil Texas, ambassador of the uptempo movement, for a world premiere B2B bringing together two masters of uptempo hardcore in a historic collision.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31: BASSQUAKE STAGE

The Bassquake Stage is set to be one of the major seismic shocks of this edition, with a programme dedicated to the heavyweights of international bass music. Pendulum, the Australian electronic music legends, will unleash their unique fusion of drum & bass and rock energy, powered by timeless classics. In their wake, Dirtyphonics, an essential reference in French bass music, will shake the dancefloor with their explosive signature blending drum & bass, dubstep and metal influences. Flux Pavilion, pioneer of global dubstep, will remind everyone why he remains an absolute reference for an entire generation of bass heads, while cult project The Bloody Beetroots injects a rawer energy, between electro, rock and punk.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31: LUNAR STAGE

With the Lunar Stage, Dream Nation opens a more cosmic interlude, between psytrance, hard trance and electronic escapes beyond format. Vini Vici, an essential reference in global psytrance, will carry the crowd into his euphoric trance driven by tribal rhythms and hypnotic melodies. Roland Cristal will inject his singular electro madness, as absurd as it is effective, before the world premiere B2B between Pawlowski and The Rocketman sends the night into a more intense zone, between techno and modern trance, with a bouncy and immersive sonic journey.

And this is not the end: more surprises will soon complete this already extraordinary line-up.

A FESTIVAL BEYOND MUSIC

For this 13th edition, Dream Nation plunges festival-goers into total immersion, where electronic music meets the great thrill of Halloween. Immersive sets, fantastical creatures, visual installations, 3D mapping, laser shows and artistic performances will turn Paris Nord Exhibition Centre into a parallel world, between celebration, imagination and sensations.
