Dream Nation Festival 2026: FULL LINE-UP REVEALED!

60 ARTISTS, 6 STAGES AND AN ELECTRONIC STORM FOR HALLOWEEN

Dream Nation is finally lifting the veil on its full 2026 line-up. On Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, more than 60 artists will take over six stages at Paris Nord Exhibition Centre for two nights dedicated to electronic music and the ultimate Halloween thrills.

For its 13th edition, Dream Nation returns to the Paris Nord Exhibition Centre on 30 and 31 October 2026, with nearly 40,000 festivalgoers expected and the same ambition as ever: to bring together every intensity of electronic culture under one roof.

Across two nights, three stages per night – six stages in total – will bring together international legends, cult figures, new icons, rising talents and exclusive projects. A line-up designed as a journey through every facet of electronic music, from electro to techno, drum & bass to trance, dubstep to hard music.

World premieres, exclusive B2Bs, rare live performances, artists seldom seen in France, new generations and emerging collectives: the line-up is now complete!

FRIDAY 30 OCTOBER: PULSAR STAGE

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

Joining this already formidable line-up is a world premiere: DYEN b2b OMAKS, bringing together the Dutch producer’s explosive neorave sound, fuelled by gabber and ’90s rave, with OMAKS’ high-octane reverse bass. The stage will also welcome Eczodia, “The Hardcore Techno Angel”, a rising force in hard techno, alongside PRADA2000, a hard trance sensation channelling Y2K energy through hard house, bounce and elastic basslines. Finally, Eargasm God b2b L.ZWO will also deliver an exclusive world-premiere B2B, blending techno, Eurotrance, early hardstyle and euphoric Berlin trance.

FRIDAY 30 OCTOBER: WARZONE STAGE

On the Warzone Stage, Dream Nation unleashes a hard music arena built for thrill-seekers, shifting between hardstyle euphoria and devastating hardcore. Da Tweekaz, true superstars of the global hardstyle scene, will bring their trademark high-energy, playful spirit, while Todiefor will shake things up with his hybrid approach blending rave and rap, driven by the Pandemonium Reloaded phenomenon alongside Vald and Vladimir Cauchemar.

The intensity will rise even further with the explosive B2B between Hysta and Korsakoff, bringing together two major figures of the hardcore scene, before making way for TNT, the legendary duo formed by Technoboy and Tuneboy and true pioneers of hardstyle. Slaughterhouse, the project uniting N-Vitral and Deadly Guns, promises a full-force collision between two hardcore heavyweights, while raw hardstyle icon Warface and young prodigy Samuel Moriero will join forces for a highly anticipated world-premiere B2B.

Finally, Dream Nation will welcome Dr. Peacock, the godfather of Frenchcore, for one of the most eagerly awaited returns of this edition. After taking a break from the stage, the Dutch producer will make a rare appearance in Paris, delivering his now-iconic blend of soaring melodies, classical influences and devastating kicks.

FRIDAY 30 OCTOBER: GALOP GALOP STAGE

Galop Galop takes over an entire stage for a high-octane carte blanche spanning techno, acid, trance and pure rave spirit. The Parisian collective is bringing out its finest electronic thoroughbreds, with Gonzi, a free spirit moving between psytrance, techno and hard music, ESKHA, a rising force in the French hard trance scene, and DJ Caline, blending hard dance, bounce and uplifting trance.

The stage will also welcome Uphoria, whose hybrid live set combines hardware machines, razor-sharp melodies and emotionally charged hard techno, alongside residents Shoshana, moving between hard trance, bounce and groove, and Aureb, at the crossroads of old-school techno, hardgroove and hard techno. One stable, six artists and one rule only: gallop until dawn.

SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER: BASSQUAKE STAGE

The Bassquake Stage is set to deliver one of the biggest seismic shocks of this edition, with a line-up dedicated to the heavyweights of international bass music. Pendulum, the legendary Australian electronic act, will unleash their unique fusion of drum & bass and rock energy, powered by timeless classics. Following in their wake, Dirtyphonics, a leading force in French bass music, will shake the dancefloor with their explosive blend of drum & bass, dubstep and metal influences. Flux Pavilion, a pioneer of global dubstep, will remind everyone why he remains an essential reference for an entire generation of bass heads, while cult project The Bloody Beetroots will inject a rawer energy somewhere between electro, rock and punk.

This wave will reach another level with Don Diablo presents CONTROL ALT DΞLΞTΞ, the new futuristic, cyberpunk drum & bass chapter from a global electronic music legend, alongside Netsky, an international icon of modern drum & bass, and Modestep, pioneers of British dubstep-rock. Andromedik, the Belgian phenomenon now established as one of the key figures of the new drum & bass generation, will round out the line-up with his euphoric melodies and hard-hitting basslines.

Finally, Bassquake will unleash the full force of French heavy dubstep with ECRAZE b2b Graphyt, a collision of massive drops, industrial textures, riddim, tearout and dubstep, built to tear up the dancefloor.

SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER: LUNAR STAGE

With the Lunar Stage, Dream Nation opens up a more cosmic dimension, blending psytrance, hard trance and boundary-pushing electronic sounds. Vini Vici, one of the world’s leading psytrance acts, will take the crowd into a euphoric trance driven by tribal rhythms and hypnotic melodies. Roland Cristal will inject his brilliantly absurd brand of electro madness, before the world-premiere B2B between Pawlowski and The Rocketman, where techno, modern trance and bouncy sounds collide.

And of course, no great electronic banquet would be complete without Perceval. The troubadour of medieval techno arrives armed with his helmet, Celtic flutes, ancestral melodies and galloping kicks. Somewhere between techno, psytrance and medieval folklore, the French phenomenon promises to turn the Lunar Stage into one giant rave tavern. Peasants, lords and knights: you have been warned.

SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER: CHIPICORE STAGE

For the final night, Dream Nation hands over an entire stage to DJ Schnake for a 100% female Chipiecore Stage, an euphoric carte blanche blending trance, eurodance, hard dance, pop remixes and hard-hitting kicks. The concept comes with a special twist: DJ Schnake will go B2B with every artist on the line-up, creating a series of unique encounters and musical collisions throughout the night.

She will join forces with Urumi, a rising figure of Frapcore blending French rap, techno, trance and UK garage, Lola Cerise, moving between psychedelic rave, hard trance, acid and hard bounce, as well as Riana Holley, pushing the BPMs higher with bouncy techno, schranz and hard dance. Zadix will bring her bright, crowd-unifying hard trance sound, while Annie and Zozzz will complete a stage entirely dedicated to the new generation of female artists. Girls take over!

HALLOWEEN IN FULL IMMERSION MODE

Beyond the line-up, Dream Nation will once again transform the Paris Nord Exhibition Centre into a parallel world where electronic music and the spirit of Halloween collide.

Monumental stage designs, visual installations, 3D video mapping, laser shows, artistic performances and fantastical creatures will immerse festivalgoers in a site-wide experience across two nights.

From the sheer scale of the main stages to the distinctive worlds of the different carte blanche takeovers, each space will develop its own identity, turning this 13th edition into a full-scale celebration of music, spectacle and imagination.
