The Belgian festival Rampage Open Air has announced its full line-up for 2026. From July 2nd to 5th, a mix of drum & bass and dubstep, complemented by an increasing number of harder styles, will once again fill Lommel’s Kristalpark. The event features nine harder-style artists on the line-up for this year’s edition. Rampage is also focusing on scale and production this year.

After years of successful festivals and indoor events, Rampage United opted for a bigger and better outdoor experience. The first edition of Rampage Open Air took place in 2019. While the event originally focused on bass genres, in recent years the stage has increasingly featured harder-style artists.

A wide range of hard music

The first harder-style artists appeared on the Rampage Open Air line-up in 2025. The event, which has been growing rapidly since its inception, is focusing on diversity. This year, not only Da Tweekaz, Hard Driver, and Mish will be behind the decks at the legendary bass event. Dr. Donk, GPF, and others will also be playing sets at the festival.

That harder styles will be featured at the event is less surprising than it seems. Artists from the harder styles have long collaborated with artists from the genres found at Rampage, or incorporated drum & bass and dubstep breaks into their own music. Dubstep artist Ricky West has collaborated with artists like ALBINO, Invaderz, and Dr. Donk. Internationally renowned bass artist ZERO also regularly plays rawstyle at the end of his sets, highlighting the growing overlap between bass music and harder styles.

A new stage and the first main stage

This year, the Belgian festival is aiming for a big hit. After achieving a record attendance of 66,000 visitors last year, the organizers aim to at least match that number this year. That’s why this year there will not only be a main stage for the first time, but also a new stage in the form of the Forrest Stage.

Following last year’s success, the Rampage Express will travel directly from Brussels South to the festival grounds twice this year.

All-female stage on Sunday

This year, the festival is once again focusing on female DJs, with women on every stage. On Sunday, July 5th, DJ Maëlie will host a stage with an all-female line-up, titled “Hot Girls Play DnB”. In previous years, the event has also focused on the representation of women on stage.

Rampage Open Air will take place on July 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2026, at Kristalpark Lommel, Belgium. For tickets and more information about the event, please visit the festival website.
