With the announcement of the first line-up, the first names for Reverze 2026 have officially been revealed. While the classics were hosted in the Lotto Arena last year, this time the program moves to the mainstage in the AFAS Dome (formerly known as the Sportpaleis). On Friday, February 27, the festival will kick off with a night fully dedicated to the classics.

Reverze is known as the world’s largest indoor event for the harder styles, attracting tens of thousands of visitors to Antwerp each year. Since 2024, the festival has expanded to two days and two venues: the AFAS Dome and the Lotto Arena. The 2025 edition was the first in which both venues were open on Friday as well, a setup that will continue in 2026.
Friday: classics in the AFAS Dome
Friday night in the AFAS Dome promises a journey through the history of the harder styles. The line-up builds from the iconic jump sounds of Pat B and Ruthless, through the melodic hardstyle of Noisecontrollers, Wildstylez and Brennan Heart, to the raw energy of Gunz For Hire and hardcore legends such as Korsakoff and Nosferatu. A special addition is D-Block & S-te-Fan, who rarely perform in a classics setting, making their appearance one fans won’t want to miss.
Line-up AFAS Dome Friday
The rest of the line-up will be revealed later this week in phases. On Tuesday, the Friday line-up for the Lotto Arena will be announced, followed by the Saturday line-up for the AFAS Dome on Wednesday, and the Saturday line-up for the Lotto Arena on Thursday. As tradition goes, the week will conclude with the Reverze Flashback Reveal and the presentation of the full line-up.
