With only a few days to go until the start of REBiRTH Festival 2026, several visible upgrades have emerged on the festival grounds during the build-up. The organization had already hinted at “major changes” for its biggest edition yet, and those are now becoming tangible. From interactive elements to larger areas and new concepts: these are the key updates.

RESiST twice as large this year
The RESiST area has also received a significant upgrade. While uptempo stages at festivals often struggle with capacity, REBiRTH has addressed this issue.
The tent has been substantially expanded and now offers roughly double the dancefloor space. In concrete terms, the area is ten meters wider and thirty meters longer than last year. This should provide enough room for the crowd during sets by artists such as Complex vs Kili vs Missy, Lekkerfaces – HYPER, Gezellige Uptempo, Dimitri K, Satirized with Neon Funfair LIVE and The Dark Horror vs Noxiouz.

REVENGE x RESiST
This year, REBiRTH also introduces a new combination with the REVENGE x RESiST stage. On Saturday, the focus here will be on millennium hardcore. With sets from artists including Miss K8, Nosferatu & Tha Playah and The Best of Partyraiser, the area brings a strong nostalgic angle, highlighting the roots of the genre.
Boiler room concept further expanded
The boilerroom concept, previously featured on the mainstage and at RESiST, is being expanded this year. A total of three areas will feature a boilerroom setup:
- Mainstage (Saturday and Sunday)
- RESiST (Friday and Saturday)
- REACTiVATE (Saturday) / BEETJE DANSEN (Sunday)
This allows artists to perform surrounded by the crowd, creating a more direct and intense connection compared to traditional stage setups.
New attraction
In addition to the arcade games, more “side quests” can be found across the festival grounds this year. The Ferris wheel returns to the outdoor area, where REBORN RAW takes place on Saturday and RESiST on Sunday. This year, the Ferris wheel is positioned directly opposite the stage, creating a more concentrated and intimate open-air setting.
REBiRTH has also added a brand-new attraction to the site. What it is exactly will only be revealed during the festival weekend.
A real tattoo shop?
Where visitors could previously get an airbrush tattoo, this concept has now been taken a step further. A fully operational tattoo shop has been added to the festival grounds, giving visitors the opportunity to get a permanent tattoo during the event.
Camping expansion
The camping area has also been significantly expanded. Due to high demand, the site has been enlarged and additional accommodations have been added, including more flexotels and extra friendscamps.
REBiRTH is also introducing the so-called Sunset Sessions. On Saturday evening, special sets will take place during sunset at the pre-party stage, featuring artists such as Zelecter – The Great Hit Meister and Cyber Gunz – REBiRTH Krach Session.
Bus party with Eleven Travel
To further enhance the camping experience, REBiRTH is introducing a three-day bus party in collaboration with Eleven Travel. During these bus raves, artists including Rebelion & Warface will perform a Crazy Filthy Bus Rave set. Additional acts such as Jason Payne and Taco and Titties will contribute to a more chaotic and informal party atmosphere.
The festival season kicks off this weekend!
REBiRTH Festival takes place from Friday, April 10 to Sunday, April 12, 2026, in Haaren, the Netherlands. With this list of upgrades, everything is set for the opening of the festival season. Tickets and more information are available via the official website.
