Following the success of Avondje Outsiders and Middagje Outsiders in Rotterdam Ahoy, Outsiders is bringing a new concept to the far north: Circus REBL. On April 11th, Martiniplaza in Groningen will be transformed into a chaotic hardstyle circus. After another smashing afternoon show for young fans, Circus REBL is also getting a Next Generation edition for all ages.

On April 11, 2026, Circus REBL will head north. Not a traditional circus, but a hard-hitting show that will last into the night. After many questions online, the artist took to Instagram last week to ask: “Are there enough young REBL’s in the north?” The question was simple, but the responses poured in en masse.
Circus REBL also accessible for young fans
After a sold-out 18+ edition at Rotterdam Ahoy in 2024, the idea for an all-ages edition suddenly arose. The 10,000-ticket event sold out in just 15 minutes. Tickets for the afternoon at Ahoy in 2026 were once again flying off the shelves. In Groningen, there’s once again a strong demand for an all-ages show.
Outsiders also sees this interest and thinks it’s fantastic: “Those kids are so pure and give so much energy, I think that’s great. They really know all the songs and go all out, harder than during the adult edition.”
Although the event takes place at the same location, the show itself is different. “The lineup has to be different, those kids like different artists than the grown-ups. Besides, you have to consider completely different things with the sound and safety. But hearing from those kids afterward that it was the best day of their lives is truly amazing.”
Getting to know the harder styles
The artist is a frequent introducer to the world of harder styles. “I always play everything between 150 and 210 bpm in my sets. I love all the harder styles, and this way I can showcase everything. I also enjoy it when young people come up to me after a set to tell me which part they liked or perhaps thought was too loud. It might be their first encounter with that music, and three years later they’ll be at a rawstyle party.”
Circus REBL is getting an Outsiders-style lineup up north: chaotic, yet cohesive. The Next Generation boasts a diverse lineup. Partyraiser, Dr. Rude, Bass Chaserz and others will put on a show for the kids.
The first edition of Circus REBL Next Generation will take place on April 11th from 13:00 – 17:00 at Martiniplaza in Groningen. Tickets for this edition go on sale on March 14th at 12:00 PM. Tickets and more information about the event can be found on the Circus REBL website.
The 18+ version of Circus REBL will be staged after Next Generation. Featuring acts like Act Of Rage, Neophyte, and De Kraaien, the lineup promises a mix of hardstyle, hardcore, and Dutch energy that same evening.
