On Saturday, November 7, the Klokgebouw will once again be taken over by the fastest kicks, but the anniversary edition is stepping things up. For the first time ever, there will be THREE areas, divided into Past, Present & Future. The full line-up has now been revealed.

For ten years, the Klokgebouw in Eindhoven has been the home of Snakepit. During that time, uptempo has evolved enormously: new sounds emerged, new artists broke through and an entirely new generation of fans found their way into the genre. For its anniversary edition, Snakepit is bringing all those developments together.
The concept behind the tenth anniversary is clear: “The sound of the past. The energy of today. The future of uptempo.” Each area represents a different chapter in the history of Snakepit and uptempo.
Present: the sound of uptempo in 2026
The Present is all about the sound that defines uptempo today. It brings together artists who are currently shaping the genre, with names including Barber: Razor RIØT, Bössels LIVE, Kili and Noxiouz on the line-up.
There are also several special sets. Partyraiser looks ahead to the coming decade with Next 10 Years, while Snakepit Records will be represented by a special LIVE act featuring Spitnoise vs Revealer vs Juliëx.
Future: the next generation of uptempo
It’s not just the past and present that get their own stage. Snakepit is also using its tenth anniversary to highlight the artists that, according to the organization, are part of uptempo’s future. The Future is therefore entirely dedicated to the next generation. Upcoming names will face each other in several battles, including Abaddon vs Rosbeek, Akimbo vs Kemal, Dimma vs Roosterz and Samynator vs T.M.O.
Past: back to Snakepit’s roots
For the third chapter, Snakepit goes back to the sound where it all began. The Past pays tribute to the pioneers, iconic tracks and artists who laid the foundations for both uptempo and ten years of Snakepit at the Klokgebouw.
Names such as Cryogenic, DRS, Trespassed and Vandal!sm will be joined by several special sets. Bulletproof brings back memories with Nostalgia, while Spitnoise looks back with Best of the Past. Partyraiser also returns for another special set. While he looks towards the future with Next 10 Years on the Present, his Past set will focus on the previous decade: Partyraiser: Past 10 Years.
