Faceless is taking the next step in 2026 with the launch of its first-ever Open Air Festival. On August 1, 2026, the Turbinenhalle Oberhausen will be transformed into the setting for a large-scale harder styles event featuring more than 70 artists and over 17 hours of non-stop music. With this edition, Faceless combines an open-air festival during the day with an intense indoor program that continues deep into the night for the first time.

Open Air by day, indoor by night
The event builds on the direction Faceless has taken in recent years. After five years of growth, forward-thinking productions, strong line-ups and innovative event concepts, the brand now opts for a hybrid festival format set in the industrial environment of the Ruhr Area. The festival revolves around the concept ‘Open Air by day, indoor by night’. Between 14:00 and 22:00, sets take place across multiple outdoor stages, after which the event moves fully indoors from 22:00 and continues until 05:15. The musical spectrum ranges from hardstyle and raw to extra raw, hardcore and uptempo.
72 artists and 22 B2B sets
The line-up consists of 72 acts, with a strong focus on exclusive collaborations, concept sets and live performances. Previously announced highlights include Sickmode, Kruelty, Exproz pres. The Jailbreaker, Rooler vs Zelecter (Classics) and Deadly Guns vs The Dark Horror. Dual Damage vs Riot Shift is also confirmed, while Damaxy will take over the mainstage during the night program with their brand-new live act. The outdoor area will be closed by Noiseflow, before the festival continues indoors.
