1 hour ago 3

Darren Styles, Kayzo, Sub Zero Project, Junkie Kid, DJ Isaac, Rooler, Angerfist, Ben Nicky, Fatima Hajji, Dual Damage, and more are set to play Wasteland Festival this year.

After a decade of delivering impactful performances from hard dance artists, Wasteland Festival is spreading its wings even further as it opens the doors to a new chapter. Earlier this year, the festival announced that it wouldn’t be centered solely on the hardstyle-fueled Basscon brand but would also feature curation by hard techno brands Mutate and Unreal to add diversity.

Wasteland Festival will transform the NOS Events Center into a hard dance lovers’ paradise on September 4-5, with a brand-new layout featuring three stages of booming beats and official after-parties to carry attendees deeper into the night. That’s not all the refreshed festival experience will offer, as its lineup features some of the best and brightest from the realms of hardstyle, hardcore, hard techno, and more.

Immediate standouts that will draw attention from hard dance lovers include Angerfist, Dual Damage, Sub Zero Project, Vertile, Rooler, Darren Styles, Atmozfears, DJ Isaac, Hixxy, Junkie Kid, and D-Sturb. There’s also a back-to-back set from Lil Texas and Yosuf that shouldn’t be missed, not to mention the US debuts of Kruelty and Dr Donk, and Ben Nicky’s Extreme project.

Those looking for a dose of hard techno will also be treated to some fantastic sets. Trym, Onlynumbers, Alignment, BEAUZ, Restricted, and Fantasm are among the artists carrying the torch for the genre. Rising phenom Clawz is also set to bring the heat during her For The Floor performance, which is sure to have the crowd moving in a frenzy.

Two-day GA and VIP passes for Wasteland Festival 2026 go back on sale Friday, May 29, at 12pm PT. Head to Front Gate to make your purchase and stay tuned for more by following the festival’s social media channels.
