Early announcements include 4am Kru (Live), Job Jobse, Palms Trax, Sonja Moonear, Oppidan and Roi Perez, alongside rising and leftfield names such as DJ Sweet6teen, Faster Horses, Hardcore Babes, Papu Raf and Y U QT. It’s a snapshot that reflects Baltic Weekender’s knack for pairing underground credibility with unfiltered fun.

Rounding out the first phase are Aly P, DMC, Kyle Starkey and the genre-bending presence of 4am Kru (Live), reinforcing the festival’s reputation for eclectic programming. From high-tempo club sounds to euphoric party moments, the initial announcement signals another bold chapter for the Liverpool favourite.
