What if we added another dimension to our annual forest escape? Taking all the festival’s most magical elements, magnifying them, extending them – and inviting you in? Welcome to Dekmantel at Dawn.
In 2026, each Dekmantel Festival day in the Amsterdamse Bos will begin at 11:00. For all weekend tickets holders, our RADAR area beneath the trees will be transformed into a space where a festival day truly takes flight. The dew-kissed Selectors, Greenhouse, and RADAR stages become insider playgrounds for sonic exploration and connection. Where the sounds grow deeper, the community comes together, and new collaborations flourish.
Three days. Three mornings. A total of 36 hours in the forest – with site-specific performances by DJ Sprinkles, Jeff Mills, Eris Drew, James Holden & Surgeon, Jane Fitz, Channel One, Colin Benders, Satoshi Tomiie & Kuniyuki, Sampha, and more. In addition, our festival camping evolves with its own new program, creating a continuous flow from forest to campsite (and vice versa) from Friday to Sunday, including afterparties and day-time hangouts.
