Dominator Festival is playing a powerful hand. With the full line-up on the table, the game has officially begun: from hardcore founders to the fastest-rising names of the moment. Dominator invites you to the most ruthless casino in the hardcore scene.
Under the scorching sun and amidst the swirling sand, Eersel once again transforms into a seething hardcore mecca. Dominator attracts tens of thousands of visitors annually, who travel from all over the world to the E3 Strand for the jackpot: a weekend of non-stop pure hardcore. Art of Dance and Q-dance are raising the stakes this year: two days of top-tier play, with exclusive sets, special showcases, and brutal clashes spread across multiple stages.
Friday has become a full-fledged day for true Dominator fans. With five areas, including the Masters of Hardcore hosting at The Dockyard (featuring Angerfist Classics and Evil Activities vs. Mad Dog) and the BKJN hosting at The Zoo (featuring Dimitri K and Major Conspiracy vs. Satirized), the weekend kicks off with maximum intensity. The mainstage will feature a variety of DJs, while other areas offer space for a variety of styles and surprising combinations. Hosts Multigroove, Deutsche Krach, Masia, and the afterparty by Gezellige Uptempo will round off the first day of Dominator in style.
New changes at Dominator: Uptempo stage outdoors for the first time
On Saturday, the casino will fully open for over 50,000 visitors. The world’s largest hardcore mainstage will be the center of the action, featuring Paul Elstak, Miss K8 The Legacy, and Partyraiser. In the surrounding areas, every genre will have its own table on one of the nine other stages. For the first time, Snakepit‘s uptempo stage will be outdoors, the new stage The Satellite will feature a variety of styles, and The Zoo will be packed with RAW. From mainstream to terror: every fan can find their place and play the roulette wheel of all hardcore subgenres. Check out the full Dominator 2026 line-up below.
