Belgium’s beloved eco-conscious electronic event, Paradise City Festival, has unveiled the first 26 names for its 2026 edition. Set to return to the idyllic castle grounds of Kasteel Ribaucourt from 26th to 28th June, the upcoming eleventh edition promises another refined and deeply curated weekend of music, nature, and community.

Among the first wave of artists are legendary figures like Richie Hawtin and Modeselektor (live), alongside rising stars and underground favourites. Floating Points, Palms Trax, and Interplanetary Criminal represent the UK’s ever-evolving scene, while Job Jobse returns after his unforgettable closing set in 2024. Dutch rap icons De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig also make a rare appearance, adding playful energy to the weekend’s soundscape.

The 2026 theme, Beneath The Surface, signals an invitation to explore beyond the obvious. The lineup balances meditative grooves from Jane Fitz & Marco Shuttle and ZIP with high-tempo, euphoric sets from DJ HEARTSTRING, Malugi, Helena Lauwaert and more. Live sets will come from Octo Octa, Takuya Nakamura, Steffi & Virginia, and Mind Enterprises, offering sonic experimentation in immersive, scenic surroundings.

With camping passes, weekend and Saturday tickets already sold out, Paradise City 2026 is on track to sell out once again. A limited number of Friday and Sunday tickets remain. As sustainability and forward-thinking curation remain central pillars of its identity, Paradise City continues to set the benchmark for what modern electronic festivals can be.
