Brussels, Belgium In a move aimed at making nightlife more accessible and inclusive for young people, C12, one of Brussels’ leading nightclubs and cultural spaces, has introduced a new “Under 26s” pass offering discounted entry to club events for visitors aged under 26.

The new initiative allows young clubbers to purchase tickets to all C12 events in 2026 and beyond at a reduced price of €15, a significant drop from the standard ticket prices which generally start at around €19. The pass can be obtained either online when buying a ticket or in person at the venue, making the process easy and flexible for users.

C12’s management says the discounted pass is designed to help younger people participate more fully in Brussels’ nightlife and electronic music culture, especially at a time when the cost of living and entertainment is rising. In a statement, the club emphasized its commitment to community, discovery, and accessibility, rejecting the idea of clubbing as an exclusive or luxury experience and instead promoting it as a shared cultural one.

The club also hopes the pass will support not just club attendance but engagement with a wider range of artistic and musical experiences, including collaborations with emerging local collectives.

C12 has a busy calendar planned for the coming months featuring international and local artists across house, techno, and electronic genres. Acts expected to perform include Gene On Earth, Introspekt, Olympe4000, re:ni B2B NVST, and BLANKA, among others.

Located under Brussels Central Station, C12 has become a staple of the city’s nightlife and creative scene since its inauguration in 2018. Beyond club nights, the space hosts concerts, exhibitions, performances, and other cultural programming, celebrating diversity, creativity, and alternative culture.

The discounted entry scheme adds to other local initiatives aimed at making nightlife more affordable and attractive, such as the Brussels Volume Pass, which grants access to multiple clubs including C12 over a set period.

Overall, C12’s “Under 26s” pass is seen as an important step toward opening up club culture and encouraging younger audiences to participate in Brussels’ vibrant nightlife without facing prohibitive costs.

Το C12 nightclub που βρίσκεται στις Βρυξέλλες του Βελγίου, ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς χώρους ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής και σύγχρονου πολιτισμού στις Βρυξέλλες, ανακοίνωσε μια νέα πρωτοβουλία που στοχεύει στους νεότερους clubbers. Το κλαμπ λανσάρει ειδικό εισιτήριο για άτομα κάτω των 26 ετών, προσφέροντας πιο προσιτή πρόσβαση στα events του.

Με το νέο αυτό μέτρο, όσοι είναι κάτω των 26 μπορούν να παρακολουθούν όλες τις εκδηλώσεις του C12 από το 2026 και μετά με σταθερή τιμή 15 ευρώ, αντί για την κανονική τιμή που συνήθως ξεκινά από τα 19 ευρώ. Το μειωμένο εισιτήριο είναι διαθέσιμο τόσο online κατά την αγορά, όσο και στην είσοδο του χώρου, διευκολύνοντας τη διαδικασία για το κοινό.

Η ομάδα του C12 εξηγεί πως η απόφαση αυτή πάρθηκε με στόχο να γίνει η νυχτερινή ζωή πιο προσβάσιμη και ανοιχτή στους νέους, ειδικά σε μια περίοδο όπου το κόστος ζωής και η διασκέδαση γίνονται όλο και πιο ακριβά. Το κλαμπ τονίζει ότι βλέπει το clubbing όχι ως πολυτέλεια, αλλά ως πολιτιστική εμπειρία που πρέπει να είναι διαθέσιμη σε όλους.

Παράλληλα, η πρωτοβουλία αυτή ενισχύει τη φιλοσοφία του C12 να στηρίζει νέα καλλιτεχνικά σχήματα και τοπικές συλλογικότητες, δίνοντας χώρο σε φρέσκες ιδέες και διαφορετικές μουσικές ταυτότητες.

Το C12 συνεχίζει να φιλοξενεί δυνατά lineups με καλλιτέχνες από τη διεθνή και τοπική σκηνή της house και techno. Στο προσεχές διάστημα αναμένονται εμφανίσεις από ονόματα όπως Gene On Earth, Introspekt, Olympe4000, re:ni b2b NVST και BLANKA, μεταξύ άλλων.

Βρίσκεται κάτω από τον σταθμό Brussels Central και από το 2018 αποτελεί βασικό σημείο αναφοράς για την εναλλακτική νυχτερινή ζωή της πόλης. Εκτός από club nights, το C12 φιλοξενεί συναυλίες, performances και καλλιτεχνικές δράσεις, με έμφαση στη διαφορετικότητα, τη δημιουργικότητα και την ελευθερία έκφρασης.

Η κίνηση αυτή εντάσσεται σε ένα ευρύτερο πλαίσιο προσπαθειών για πιο προσιτό nightlife στις Βρυξέλλες, όπως και άλλα προγράμματα που ενθαρρύνουν το κοινό να εξερευνήσει τη club κουλτούρα της πόλης. Το Under-26 εισιτήριο του C12 θεωρείται ένα σημαντικό βήμα προς ένα πιο ανοιχτό και συμπεριληπτικό clubbing.

20:T15c8,

There are nights that start with simply going out for music and end up meaning something much more. A festival, a club, a big open air event. Thousands of people who don’t know each other, suddenly standing under the same lights, listening to the same tracks and moving to the same rhythm. And somewhere in all of that, a stranger can become part of your group, a group can become a group of friends, and a random meeting can continue long after the last track has played.

It’s not just a nice idea. In psychology, the term “collective effervescence” is used to describe the intense feeling of connection that can emerge when many people take part in the same experience at the same time. A study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, based on four studies and 789 participants, examined this connection in the context of live music events. The findings showed that this sense of collective connection was associated with greater enjoyment and a stronger sense of meaning during the event, as well as increased happiness one week later.

And maybe the most interesting part is that you don’t even need to talk to someone for that connection to begin. Research has found that moving together in sync can make people feel socially closer, even when they are complete strangers. In one experiment involving a silent disco, participants who moved to the same rhythm reported a stronger sense of connection than those who moved out of sync. Suddenly, the dancefloor starts to make a little more sense. Sometimes, the music is already doing the introduction for you.

There is also something physical behind that feeling. Studies on synchronized movement and group bonding have found that dancing together can be associated with an increased pain threshold and stronger feelings of connection between people. Researchers have suggested that the release of endorphins may play a role in this process. It doesn’t mean that every person you dance with is suddenly your best friend, of course. But it does help explain why sharing physical effort, rhythm and emotion with other people can make a night feel much more intense and much more memorable.

And maybe this explains why the people we meet on the dancefloor can sometimes feel different from the people we meet anywhere else. You don’t need to start with a conversation, shared interests or a particular reason to connect. Sometimes all it takes is a drop, a smile, a high-five or that look that says, “What the hell was that?” A shared musical experience creates a different kind of communication, where for a few hours, everyone seems to belong to the same thing.

This is also how our own community at Dancetoday has grown. Not only through music and content, but mainly through the people we have met along the way. The events, festivals and moments we have shared with our community have become one of the ways Dancetoday built its own identity and brought people together. People who may have met for the first time at an event, danced together, shared a track or simply a moment, and eventually became part of a group that keeps growing. Because a community is not built only through posts and stories. It is built where music becomes a real experience.

Maybe that’s why electronic music has its own way of creating memories. You might not always remember which track was playing at that exact moment. But you might remember who was standing next to you when the drop hit. And sometimes, the person you randomly met in a crowd of strangers becomes the person who is there with you at the next festival, the next trip, the next big night.

Because the dancefloor is not simply a place where we listen to music. It is one of the few places where, even for a few hours, thousands of different lives move to the same rhythm. And some of those lives may continue moving together long after the final beat.

21:T37c2,

From an extended Chris Stassy session to a dedicated Tiësto trance set, these are eleven picks from the dancetoday crew and community - and why we want them happen in Greece.

A set lands in the group chat. Someone names the artist they would travel for. Before long, the conversation turns to Greece: imagine having that night here!

So, together with our community, the dancetoday crew has put together a wishlist of artists and specific sets we would love to experience on Greek dancefloors. These eleven selections open a two-part series, with room for returns, new encounters and different sides of familiar names. Of course, the order is not a ranking, and each choice comes down to the music, the setting and what would make the experience worth showing up for.

MAU P - The Breakthrough Has Become a Headline

Mau P has reached the point where his name can be the reason for the night. Baddest Behaviour returned to Pacha Ibiza for a second season in 2026, evidence of a career growing beyond the initial impact of “Drugs From Amsterdam”. He now has both recognisable records and a party identity people can follow.

That makes him a really appealing choice for Greece. His sound gives an audience something immediate to connect with: heavy bass, cheeky vocal hooks and the reggae sample at the centre of “Merther”. We see him fitting a substantial club date or an outdoor house event where familiar tracks bring people together and the selection keeps them moving. This is a chance to catch a headliner while his world is still expanding.

CHRIS STASSY - When the Crowd Becomes the Vocal

The hype around Chris Stassy has a particularly revealing soundtrack: “Breather”, his collaboration with S.A.M. At all Stassy's appearances, the crowd sings along to its melody - despite the track having no vocals - and doesn't stop dancing. That says something about the devotion surrounding the artist formerly known as Chris Stassy. Alos, his October 2026 USS dates in Manchester are already listed as sold out.

A crowd singing instrumental melodies of an artist tells you more about a following than a follower count. That is the appeal for Greece: a following that could turn a house night into a shared occasion, built around musical details fans already care about. An extended set would be our choice, allowing the rolling basslines and patient transitions to earn that collective release.

CARL COX - The Name That Connects Generations

Carl Cox carries the kind of stature that can make a booking feel significant across generations. He keeps giving people reasons to return: his 2026 UNVRS residency spans house and techno, including all-night sessions. In a recent Pollstar interview, he explained how the room guides his next record, including when to ease from harder techno towards groove or melody.

For a Greek event, that combination matters. The reputation gives people a reason to gather; his responsiveness gives the gathering somewhere to go. We can imagine experienced ravers and younger clubbers finding common ground in a substantial DJ set. Cox’s history brings weight to the poster, but the attraction is what he can do with the dancefloor in front of him now. Oh yes, oh yes!

RÜFÜS DU SOL - The Scale of a Shared Feeling

RÜFÜS DU SOL belong here because their music gives people something to carry into a room with them: a lyric, a memory, a melody that has stayed around longer than expected. Of course, “Innerbloom” makes that shared feeling explicit. And RÜFÜS DU SOL have taken that connection to an extraordinary scale. Their Inhale/Exhale tour generated $158 million and sold 1.7 million tickets, becoming the highest-grossing electronic tour in Billboard Boxscore history!

Of course, the format matters. A full live show centres the band performing its songs, with vocals and instruments, while a DJ set opens a different conversation through the records they select. Altough we would prefer a full live show, we would welcome either in Greece, with the billing clear about the experience. Their music can make a crowded night feel strangely personal... and that emotional connection is what we would want to share, whether through the songs themselves or their club influences.

KETTAMA - A Rave Favourite Growing Bigger

Being dancetoday’s 2025 Breakthrough Artist Of The Year, KETTAMA’s rise has reached well beyond a promising run of club tracks. His Archangel album was accompanied by a sold-out Brixton Academy headline show, while 2026 brought a nine-week Amnesia residency. So, there is a clear sense of an artist whose audience is growing with the music.

“Yosemite”, with Interplanetary Criminal, captures the appeal: forceful rhythms meeting the kind of melody people attach themselves to. His blend of house, trance and rave influences gives us a strong case for a late festival slot in Greece, especially for listeners who want physical intensity with an emotional payoff. KETTAMA makes the big chord change feel as important as the kick drum. Catching him at this stage would mean meeting a growing movement while its excitement still feels immediate.

MICHAEL BIBI - A Following You Could Build a Night Around

Michael Bibi’s pull is visible in the events built around him. His 2024 One Life show at Finsbury Park drew 45.000 people, and the promoter listed his 2026 London date on the Thames as sold out. Through his own shows and Solid Grooves, he has built a following around a recognisable way of partying.

And his music explains why we would want that here. “Mobile Groove” turns a Nokia ringtone into club material, while “MYSTERY OF RAW” with KETTAMA samples Wu-Tang Clan. For Greece, an extended headline set in an indoor venue would make most sense to us, as it could let fans gather around a more club setting and a shared taste, and give newcomers an accessible way in. Bibi gives fans a party they can feel part of before they even walk in.

TIËSTO - Back to the Trance Roots

A dedicated Tiësto trance set is essential to this selection. For listeners whose relationship with electronic music grew through his early records and sets, it carries genuine nostalgia. For younger fans, it offers a chance to experience the musical identity behind so much of his reputation. And this is already happening: Dreamstate 2025, Creamfields 2026, “Bring Me To Life” featuring FORS and Tiësto In Concert being back again after over 20 years make the return to trance a current story.

Hearing this side of Tiësto in Greece feels especially appealing while he is actively exploring it again. What we would love in Greece is the space for those melodies to develope. Older listeners might arrive with years of memories, while younger ones could encounter that side of his music at full scale for the first time. The set would not need to be classics-only. Give the older records and newer material a coherent place together, and the appeal becomes a shared experience across generations.

PROSPA - The Momentum Has an Album Behind It

Prospa now have a bigger musical statement behind the buzz. Their debut album, Free Your Mind, arrived on CircoLoco Records in June 2026, bringing their rave background into a fuller collection of house grooves, organ chords and expressive vocals. It gives listeners more reasons to connect with the duo than a single standout release.

We see a good fit for Greece in that mixture of club credibility and songs people can take home. The disco guitar and vocal warmth of “This Rhythm” featuring RAHH, show how easily their music can invite people in. An open-air evening moving into darkness feels like a setting worth imagining a DJ set that could connect those familiar moments with their wider selections. Prospa offer the excitement of an act growing into a bigger stage while keeping the pleasure of the party close.

DOM DOLLA - House Music With a Bigger Reach

Dom Dolla is now taking house records into stadiums. His sold-out Allianz Stadium debut in Sydney in December 2025 has been followed by a Marvel Stadium booking for September 24, 2026. That is a substantial platform for an artist whose appeal still starts with records built to make people dance. “Dreamin” featuring Daya, helps explain the crossover: a simple, memorable melody and a vocal with an emotional story.

For a Greek festival, we see the potential to bring regular house listeners around the world together with people arriving through the songs. Dom Dolla can make the hook an invitation into the rest of the set, while even a simple melody can bring someone to the dancefloor before they know anything about the DJ. His inclusion is about that widening reach, and the prospect of a headline performance that feels welcoming without losing its club foundations.

HALŌ - The Three Musketeers of Progressive

Third Party, DubVision and Matisse & Sadko: our Three Musketeers of mainstage progressive house. As HALŌ, these three acts bring together established fan connections, a shared musical language and a new reason to pay attention. Their debut release, “Live Again”, arrived on Armada on September 18, giving the project music of its own to build around.

As we put it in our recent article, progressive never left. And now, with HALŌ, progressive is live again. For Greek fans drawn to those big melodies and moments of collective release, this could be a festival date to plan around. The attraction is hearing familiar catalogues feed into something new, with three acts committed to the same feeling. For a Greek mainstage, that mix of beloved records and new music feels worth backing.

JOSEPH CAPRIATI B2B SOSA - A Pairing With Its Own Pull

Joseph Capriati B2B SOSA has the appeal of an occasion built around a specific partnership. Capriati brings the stature of a selector whose Metamorfosi nights connect house and techno, while SOSA brings a newer generation’s minimal and deep-tech approach, represented on this year’s Just Like That EP. Their different positions in the scene make the meeting interesting.

However, there is also another recent evidence behind the idea: the pair closed the Steel Yard at Creamfields 2026, with their performance being among its weekend highlights. For Greece, this B2B could give followers of both artists a reason to gather, with curiosity about the exchange adding to the draw. Of course, we would want an extended set for the grooves to deepen and the pressure to change. The combination itself should be the reason to attend.

Your Turn

These are the first eleven selections from our crew and community, and Part 2 will bring more into the conversation. The setting matters as much as the name: a longer club session, a live show or a particular musical direction can change the whole appeal.

Which of these would you most want to see in Greece, and what kind of set would make it worth the wait?

22:T5d6,CHRIS STASSY is a producer and label boss who has spent the past decade building a world around his own approach to house music. What began in the underground has grown into a global project spanning music, events, a label and a community, still rooted in the clubs and culture that shaped him. In August 2026, Chris entered a new phase under the name CHRIS STASSY. One letter separates it from the name before, but little else changes - same mind, same music, same vibe. A continuation rather than a reset. That world took shape through Up The Stuss, the label he founded in 2020 and now one of house music's most recognisable independent imprints, home to his own productions and a wider roster of forward-thinking artists. The same instincts define Chris behind the decks, from underground institutions and 10-hour extended sets to Awakenings, Timewarp, Coachella, Pukkelpop and Alexandra Palace, with Ibiza central through Circoloco, Paradise and Solid Grooves. His productions and remixes - including his #1 flip of Moby's 'Go' - reflect an artist refining his own musical language rather than following a formula. In 2025 he launched USS, his own event series, alongside N.A.M.E., his free party concept. In 2026 came his debut album 'Lost, Found & Forgotten...', with headline shows beyond the club at the Eiffel Tower and Alexandra Palace, and his first AV show 'Linger' at Lowlands and Creamfields. Now, as CHRIS STASSY, the project moves forward with the same foundations intact.23:T52a,A name that resonates thoughts of quality and fresh flavours, Michael Bibi’s take on today's current electronic music environment has seen him flourish into a highly accomplished producer and DJ. The UK based new kid has stamped his mark with a string of musical successes, carving out and establishing a distinct signature sound that has translated into support from some of the industry’s biggest names, whilst his longstanding and instinctive love for the party provides a continued source of motivation and dedication. Bibi’s raw passion for music has been with him since childhood. His father, a touring artist within the Blues and Jazz scene, provided his first insight into the world of music, with Michael accompanying him on tour and exposing his eyes and ears to the scenes never-ending influences - and today it is these influences that he draws upon to combine with his slick, up-front and personal take upon house music. As of recent, Michael has been making a name for himself with his unique production style and off-the-wall vocals, releasing material on the likes of Snatch!, VIVa, Lost Records, and of course his own labels Solid Grooves and SG Raw. With a stock of unreleased productions and global dates on the horizon, look out for Michael Bibi coming to share a party a moment with you soon!24:T41f,Tiësto has consistently redefined, reshaped, and reignited electronic music, impacting popular culture in the process. Renowned for multiplatinum international anthems, history-making performances, and boundless creativity, it would be impossible to imagine the genre without his influence. The GRAMMY® Award-winning international icon effectively pioneered the “Las Vegas DJ residency” as we know it, emerged as “the first DJ to perform at the Olympics,” and delivered smashes across the last three decades. His career sales have surpassed 40 million albums, he has earned eight Billboard Hot 100 hits, amassed over 30 billion streams, and collected more than a dozen RIAA certifications for multiplatinum, platinum, and gold singles. This creative season has seen him triumphantly revisit the melodic deep house sound he helped innovate, bringing his career full circle. Enshrined as one of the most influential and inventive DJ/producers of all time, Tiësto continues to break boundaries and elevate electronic music to unparalleled heights.25:T2836,

With major international headliners and prominent artist names like Paul Kalkbrenner, Argy, Adriatique, Ben Klock, Maceo Plex and Indira Paganotto among this year’s bookings, Reworks has plenty to attract anyone planning a few days in Thessaloniki. But its ⁠completed programme, announced on 8 September, also gives us good reasons to look beyond the most immediately recognisable names. From the opening hours of its afternoon events to the final stretches of its club sessions, Greek artists have been placed throughout the five-day programme, proving that Reworks continues a relationship with the city’s electronic music community that ⁠began in 2005. And this year is another chance to hear just how varied those artists - and the scene they come from - really are.

19 Artists, Many Directions

The festival’s announcement highlights 19 Greek or Greece-based acts: ISON, Momery, Athineos, Agape, VaJohn, Myrophora, Penny Morado, Modal Cat, Pinelopi, Cnthia, Decø, Thravsma, Nases Morur, Low F Signal, Vertical Slope, Bellas, MayDay, Kiki Botonaki and Dest.

Their presence stretches across different venues, stages and moments of the festival rather than being limited to a single local showcase. More importantly, these names do not represent one uniform “Greek sound”. House, melodic electronics, dub techno, acid, breaks and the deeper or more forceful ends of techno all have a place within the programme.

Inside the Greek Lineup

ISON connects much of that history. A founding member of NON and one of the people behind Reworks, he has helped develop the environment in which many of these encounters take place. Behind the decks, his references stretch across house, techno and Detroit, giving his sets a range that is difficult to reduce to one genre. His Saturday-night appearance in BLOCK33’s Warehouse, directly before Modeselektor, is worth catching for that breadth alone.

Momery offer another perspective on the relationship between Thessaloniki and the wider electronic circuit. The duo’s melodic techno has travelled through releases such as “Ophelia,” selected by Mind Against for the first release on HABITAT. It is a useful introduction to their balance of atmosphere, melody and dancefloor tension. On Friday, they appear at LABattoir’s Atrium directly before Adriatique, making their set a natural choice for listeners already drawn to that side of the programme.

There is reason to arrive before them, too. Myrophora opens the Atrium with a musical vocabulary that moves through progressive and melodic house, techno influences and occasional pop references. Her set gives the afternoon a more open starting point before Momery and Adriatique gradually take it elsewhere. Rather than treating the earlier slot as waiting time, the sequence works better when experienced from the beginning.

The programme becomes particularly interesting when artists with different instincts share the booth. Agape’s background in DIY parties informs selections moving between acid, house, electro and indie dance. VaJohn brings techno and breaks influences, alongside experience rooted in Thessaloniki’s Roxy Club. Their joint Friday-night appearance at BLOCK33’s Club offers a chance to hear where those approaches meet.

Local club experience also runs through Saturday’s pairing of Pinelopi and Penny Morado. Pinelopi’s approach centres on hypnotic progression and controlled intensity, while Penny Morado’s rolling techno retains a strong interest in groove, informed by earlier listening across soul, hip-hop and funk. Their 17:30–19:15 set at the Atrium gives them enough time to establish a direction together. If the later techno names are already part of your plans, this pairing deserves to be part of the afternoon as well.

Elsewhere, Thravsma and Nases Morur bring their shared connection to Ergotherapy to LABattoir’s Air stage. Both work with techno built through atmosphere, repetition and gradually developing tension, while Thravsma’s move to Berlin adds another thread between the Greek underground and scenes beyond it. Later, the ALEMAO connection appears through Decø and Cnthia, whose acid, trance and groove-led techno influences take over BLOCK33’s Club after Anetha. Their closing placement is a useful reminder that discovering local artists can sometimes mean staying until the final set, not only arriving early.

For a fuller picture of the artists and info about them, stages and set times across all five days, explore the full list of artist and the official Reworks 2026 programme.

Beyond the Booth

Reworks’ role is not limited to assembling a DJ lineup. Making its Greek debut on Friday, The Talk (AV Show) brings together Heith, Günseli Yalcinkaya and Andrea Belosi in a performance inspired by the Antikythera Mechanism. Combining live music, spoken word and audiovisual design, the project explores the ways technology influences perception and the stories through which we understand reality. Its development with Nuits sonores and Terraforma through TIMES also shows how festivals can participate in creating new work, rather than only presenting it once it is finished.

What Comes After

Being included in a festival of this scale can place an artist in front of new listeners. What follows (new releases, return bookings, collaborations and an audience that stays interested) determines whether that moment develops into something more lasting.

26:T1ccb,

Some lineups make sense because the artists sound alike. Others work because they bring something different to the same room. Full Circle’s September 19 return belongs to the second category.

WhoMadeWho arrive with more than two decades behind them and a Hybrid DJ Set that sits somewhere between their identity as a band and their understanding of the dancefloor.

Avangart Tabldot arrive from almost the opposite direction: three artists whose story is still being written, and who are currently moving through one of the strongest periods of their career so far.

Put them together at Playground 260, start at 17:00 while Athens is still in daylight, and let the event develop until 23:00. That is where this one starts to become interesting.

WhoMadeWho: A Band That Learned to Speak Club

WhoMadeWho have always been difficult to place neatly into one category. Tomas Høffding, Tomas Barfod and Jeppe Kjellberg came from different musical backgrounds, with electronic music meeting rock, jazz and songwriting inside the same project. Over the years, that combination has allowed the Copenhagen trio to move naturally between concerts, festivals and club-focused electronic sets without feeling like a band simply trying to enter DJ culture.

More than twenty years after forming, they are also far from operating on nostalgia. Their 2026 calendar alone has taken the Hybrid DJ Set through Sónar and a long list of Ibiza dates alongside artists ranging from Carl Cox and Anyma to Vintage Culture, while July brought “ENERGY,” their collaboration with GORDO.

And the word Hybrid matters here. The format combines the freedom and continuous flow of a DJ set with the approach of musicians who have spent their career writing and performing songs. Vocals, melodies and recognizable songwriting remain central to WhoMadeWho, but so does their long relationship with electronic club culture.

Athens knows them well by now, and so does Full Circle. The relationship goes back at least to their 2022 live appearance at the Benaki Museum, while Full Circle brought them back in 2025 for a four-hour set alongside Carlita at Goudi’s Army Park.

September 19 adds another chapter, this time in a different setting.

Avangart Tabldot: Catch Them at This Moment

If you have been following Avangart Tabldot’s sets and releases recently, you probably already understand why their name deserves equal attention on this lineup.

The Istanbul trio have built their catalogue across labels including Innervisions, Siamese, TAU and Ultra, but the last couple of years show something more important than a list of label names: momentum. In 2025 they joined Tripolism for “Groove On” on Ultra and again for “All Hearts Beat”, while their remix work returned them to Innervisions.

In 2026, Avangart Tabldot have continued building around their own community. They are among the people behind Istanbul-based Crib Records, where July brought “I’m Tango,” while just eight days before the Athens show comes “Love.exe", their new release on Exit Strategy.

That matters because this is often one of the best stages at which to catch an artist: established enough to have a clear identity, but still moving quickly enough that their sets don’t feel settled. Their own platform is growing, new music keeps arriving and their catalogue continues to spread across respected corners of the electronic scene. They aren’t simply the other name alongside the more established act on the poster. Their current momentum is one of the reasons this date is so well timed.

Why Playground 260 Fits the Idea

Full Circle has always paid attention to the space around the music. Its history in Athens, from the Benaki Museum to large-scale events at Goudi’s Army Park, reflects an approach where the setting forms part of the event itself.

Now Playground 260 offers a different environment. The wider Peiraios 260 complex is a former furniture factory and a surviving example of 1970s industrial architecture, later established as one of the main homes of the Athens Epidaurus Festival. Large former industrial buildings and sheds give the site a character very different from a conventional club.

And the schedule works with that setting. Doors open at 17:00, with Greek DJs/producers MAARKK and Man With The Speaker, both part of STYX Agency, the agency of Full Circle, handling the first tunes before the main acts. That gives you a good reason to arrive early, support the local artists and watch the music, crowd and space develop naturally as afternoon turns into night.

Why September 19 Is Worth Your Saturday

There is a nice balance to this lineup.

WhoMadeWho bring the catalogue, musicianship and years spent moving between band culture and electronic dancefloors. Avangart Tabldot arrive at a very different point in their story, with new releases, their own growing platform and plenty still ahead of them.

And Full Circle brings both together for six hours at Playground 260, from daylight into night.

There is also something to be said about how accessible the event remains. With the €26.50 first release already sold out, tickets have now moved into the second release at €35... still a very fair entry point for what the evening brings together.

Four days full of music, top names, huge stages, British weather and an experience that is difficult to describe with words.

There are festivals that you see in photos and videos and say "impressive". And there are festivals that you have to experience up close to truly understand their size. Creamfields clearly belongs to the second category.

dancetoday was at Daresbury, England this year to cover Creamfields 2026 up close, in a special year as the festival celebrated 20 years at Daresbury. Four days, dozens of stages, thousands of people and a lineup that once again proved why Creamfields is considered one of the most important dance festivals in Europe and in the world.

A truly impressive lineup

If there is one area where Creamfields makes no compromises, it is the lineup. This year's edition featured names such as Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Alesso, Tiësto, Carl Cox, Amelie Lens, Disclosure, Fisher, Eric Prydz, Rossi., KETTAMA and many more. The program is packed from beginning to end and every year it seems to get better and better, covering almost every side of the modern dance scene. For us, this is also one of Creamfields' biggest advantages.

Creamfields' unique stages

It is impossible to talk about Creamfields without talking about its stages. The festival's stages are truly a reference point for festival production worldwide. At the top is, of course, APEX, which is not just another stage. It is a huge indoor superstructure with a capacity of 30,000 people, the biggest indoor stage in the world. And when you are inside it, you immediately understand why. The size, sound, lights, visuals and the energy of 30,000 people create an experience that is difficult to capture in a photo or video.

If APEX is the ultimate experience of a huge indoor main stage, Steel Yard alone is a reason to travel all the way to Creamfields. A huge, enclosed arena that has become synonymous with some of the festival's most impressive moments. The feeling inside Steel Yard is different. Darker, more intense, more club oriented. The lights, lasers, sound and energy of the crowd create more of the feeling of a huge warehouse party than a simple festival stage. And when 20,000 people are dancing under a huge indoor production, you understand why this particular stage has gained an almost legendary status.

And then there is ARC, with a completely different aesthetic and character. More open and with an intense dancefloor atmosphere, it hosted some important names from the house and dance scene this year. What we liked the most is that the three stages do not try to do the same thing. APEX is the huge festival spectacle, Steel Yard puts you in a pure clubbing mood, while ARC has its own more open and dancefloor-oriented atmosphere. This is where you understand why production is one of Creamfields' biggest strengths, because it has different spaces that can each offer you a completely different experience.

The British weather

If there is one thing you need to be prepared for before going to Creamfields, it is the weather. Do not go with the mindset that "it's summer, so the weather will be good". British rain can completely change the experience of a festival, and when we are talking about camping and huge outdoor areas, things can become quite difficult. So, if someone is thinking about visiting Creamfields in the coming years, our advice is simple: be prepared. A good raincoat, the right shoes or waterproof boots and a genuinely waterproof tent can make a huge difference. It is also a good idea to have dry clothes with you and protection for your phone. Creamfields requires equipment, and if you do not have it, the weather can ruin a big part of the experience.

Food at Creamfields: plenty of options, but slightly expensive prices

When it comes to food, Creamfields has plenty of options and it is difficult to go hungry. There are different food spots and choices for different tastes, while camping visitors also have the option of getting basic products at the Downtown area. However, as is now the case at most major European festivals, prices were a little high. For a four-day festival, especially if someone is staying at the campsite and needs to buy food and drinks every day, the cost can add up quite a lot. That is why it is a good idea to have a suitable budget before the trip. We would not say that this ruins the experience, after all, when you are at Creamfields, most of the day is spent surrounded by music and the festival atmosphere. It is simply good to know in advance that your budget does not stop at the price of the ticket. (Good tip, buy a lot of fruits)

The atmosphere is perhaps the biggest advantage

Beyond the artists and the stages, there is something that cannot easily be captured in photos and videos. The crowd. The energy around Creamfields is different. Thousands of people are there for the same reason: the music. From the first stage to the last, there is constant movement, dancing and people simply enjoying the moment. Always friendly and willing to help with a difficulty or a problem that may come up during the day, the crowd at Creamfields takes the festival experience one step further.

What we liked the most and what we would like to see differently

Like every festival, Creamfields is not perfect. The long distances can be tiring, especially when you are trying to catch different stages during the same day. The weather can also make the experience quite difficult, while the cost of food and drinks could be lower (but this is also debatable regarding where you are living, different salaries in each country). On the other hand, these things are small compared to what Creamfields offers as a whole.

dancetoday was in Daresbury to experience Creamfields 2026 up close and to share the experience of a festival that grows, evolves and raises the bar even higher every year. It is not perfect and it does not need to be. But it has one of the strongest lineups in the dance scene, productions that are difficult to find elsewhere, world class indoor stages and an atmosphere that fully justifies its place among the biggest dance festivals in Europe.

Because some festivals you see. Some others you hear. Creamfields is something you have to experience.

And after experiencing it, one thing is certain:

Creamfields, see you next year.

29:T50c6,

Two days left until one of the biggest electronic music weekends of the year takes over Athens.

Two days, two stages and enough musical territory between them to make choosing where to be one of the hardest parts of Zamna x Primer Music Festival 2026.

On September 4 and 5, PRIMER returns to OAKA for a special edition created together with ZAMNA, bringing the Mexican festival brand’s darker, immersive electronic identity into PRIMER’s large-scale Athens format. The Helios Stage operates as the outdoor festival arena, while the Lunar Stage takes the experience indoors and deep into the night, running until 06:00.

The lineup stretches from foundational house and festival EDM to melodic techno, indie dance and psytrance. So rather than attempting to see everything, these are the sets dancetoday believes deserve priority... not simply because of the names on the poster, but because of what each artist represents, what they currently sound like, and how difficult it may be to recreate the same experience another time.

FRIDAY

AFROJACK - Helios Stage

There is a difference between hearing the records that defined an era and hearing them played by one of the people who actually helped create that era. Afrojack belongs firmly in the second category. Nick van de Wall was one of the producers at the centre of electronic music’s explosion into global festival culture during the early 2010s, with a catalogue that helped establish the enormous, highly engineered mainstage sound that dominated that period. PRIMER itself describes him as one of the defining architects of festival-era EDM.

That history alone would make the set significant. But nostalgia is not really the reason to see Afrojack. His sets remain designed around scale: aggressive transitions, sudden changes in energy, enormous low-end and the ability to move between EDM, electro, house and more contemporary festival sounds without losing control of a huge crowd.

At a festival like PRIMER, that skill matters. If Friday’s Helios Stage is where you want the full-scale festival experience, Afrojack is one of its clearest expressions.

ARMAND VAN HELDEN - Helios Stage

If Afrojack represents one important chapter in electronic music history, Armand Van Helden represents something even deeper. Long before “EDM” became an industry category, Van Helden was helping reshape house music. From his 1990s productions and remixes to records such “You Don’t Know Me”, "I Want Your Soul" and his later work as half of Duck Sauce alongside A-Trak, his influence stretches through several generations of dance music. His career has also included two Grammy nominations and performances across institutions ranging from Glastonbury and Coachella to Fabric, DC10, Berghain, Ushuaïa and countless others.

And this is exactly why his PRIMER appearance deserves attention. Artists from this generation are not interchangeable with the current touring circuit. You are seeing someone whose records became part of the vocabulary DJs still use today.

Expect house music with personality rather than excessive ceremony: groove, vocals, classics, left turns and decades of dancefloor knowledge condensed into one set. For anyone interested in where contemporary house culture actually came from, this is not merely another name on the lineup.

MRAK - Lunar Stage

MRAK is Carmine Conte’s individual world outside Tale Of Us. And that distinction matters. As one half of Tale Of Us and a co-founder of Afterlife, Conte has helped shape one of electronic music’s most influential aesthetics of the past decade. MRAK allows him to move away from the duo format and expose a more personal musical identity built around emotion, synthesis, atmosphere and cinematic tension.

Afterlife itself describes MRAK as an extension of Conte’s artistic identity characterised by warmth, emotion and depth. The project has developed through releases such as One, Manifesto and the recent Smoke EP. The most important is that he announced his debut album is coming & will include 33 songs. Primer will got a taste of it!

That makes his Lunar appearance particularly interesting. You know the universe he helped build. This is the opportunity to hear what happens when one of its architects operates alone.

MISS MONIQUE - Lunar Stage

Miss Monique has become one of the most recognisable names in melodic house and techno, but her rise is particularly interesting because it was built as much through DJing as through records. Her long-form streamed sets helped establish an enormous international following before that visibility translated into increasingly major festival bookings and becoming the founder of Siona Records and one of melodic house and techno’s major contemporary forces.

Her strength behind the decks is accessibility without completely abandoning progression. Melody is prominent, but so are momentum and tension. That makes her particularly effective with large crowds: melodic enough to create emotional peaks, driving enough to keep the room moving.

On a Lunar lineup full of darker electronic music, she represents one of Friday’s most immediate crowd connections.

STEPHAN BODZIN Live - Lunar Stage

The important word here is not only “Stephan Bodzin". It is “Live”.

Bodzin occupies a very particular place in melodic techno. His music is instantly recognisable through its synth architecture: expressive lead lines, repetition, harmonic tension and the kind of analogue timbres that can turn surprisingly minimal musical material into something emotionally huge. He has spent decades developing that language, and even describes the sound design surrounding Boavista through the analogue instruments and Moog Sub37 patches that formed the album.

But a Bodzin live show is fundamentally different from simply hearing a DJ play Bodzin records. The performance places his own compositions and machines at the centre of the experience, turning tracks into material that can be manipulated rather than simply reproduced.

Among Friday’s choices, this may therefore be one of the easiest to justify: You can see many DJs. You get considerably fewer opportunities to experience Stephan Bodzin performing his music live.

HI PROFILE - Lunar Stage

There is also a homegrown reason not to overlook Friday’s Lunar Stage.

Athens-born Anastasios Antoniou, better known as Hi Profile, has built one of the most internationally established careers to emerge from Greece’s progressive trance and psytrance scene. His journey has taken him to major electronic music stages including Tomorrowland, Ultra, Airbeat One and Green Valley, while this summer he returned to Tomorrowland 2026 as part of the festival’s Planaxis lineup. In 2019, he was also recognised by UNESCO Greece for his contribution to promoting Greek heritage through electronic music.

Musically, Hi Profile brings something noticeably different to Friday’s Lunar lineup. His sound moves between progressive trance, psytrance and broader electronic influences, combining melodic elements with the faster propulsion and euphoric release associated with trance. Over the years, his music has also received support from artists including Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Astrix, Vini Vici and Charlotte de Witte.

And for dancetoday, there is another reason this set belongs on the list. Supporting Greek artists does not mean lowering the bar; in this case, the international career already speaks for itself. Seeing one of Greece’s most established trance exports representing the local scene on a lineup of this scale makes Hi Profile a set worth prioritising.

SATURDAY

AXWELL - Helios Stage

If we had to choose one set across the entire weekend, this would be it! Axwell is dancetoday’s most anticipated performance of PRIMER 2026 edition.

Not simply because he is one third of Swedish House Mafia, or because of the enormous catalogue attached to his career, but because solo Axwell has always been something slightly different.

Axwell is fundamentally a DJ’s DJ.

Underneath the records, awards and Swedish House Mafia mythology sits an exceptional understanding of house music: phrasing, tension, release, vocals, groove and (perhaps most importantly) timing. His Axtone years also became inseparable from an era in which progressive house could simultaneously be emotional, technically sophisticated and enormous.

What makes this appearance even more valuable is scarcity. Swedish House Mafia performances naturally dominate much of the collective’s touring presence, while individual Axwell dates remain comparatively selective. Even the official Swedish House Mafia schedule currently shows only a small number of announced solo Axwell appearances around this period, including Athens, Karachi and Tokyo.

That changes the equation. This is not simply an opportunity to hear Swedish House Mafia records in Athens. It is an opportunity to hear Axwell construct a set as Axwell!

For longtime house listeners, producers and DJs - and for anyone who lived through progressive house’s defining years - this is the set around which we would build Saturday. Do NOT miss it!

INNELLEA B2B MORTEN - Helios Stage

This could be the weekend’s wildcard. On paper, Innellea and MORTEN come from two different ecosystems. MORTEN became synonymous with the Future Rave movement developed alongside David Guetta: enormous festival dynamics, dark synths, rave structures and mainstage pressure. Innellea traditionally arrived from the deeper melodic-techno spectrum, but his recent direction has widened considerably. Following The Belonging and 2025’s Finding Home, his 2026 releases including “Slave to the Hype” and “Bounce Music” point toward a less predictable, increasingly genre-fluid phase.

Put the two together and there is no obvious script. And that is exactly why their B2B is fascinating. The pairing is officially listed for September 5, making it one of the edition’s genuinely unusual collaborations.

Will Innellea pull MORTEN somewhere stranger and deeper? Will MORTEN drag Innellea into full festival-mode aggression? Or will they find a completely different middle ground. We do not know. And that is the point. This has all the ingredients to become one of PRIMER 2026’s most talked-about sets.

MIND AGAINST - Lunar Stage

Few acts understand the relationship between melancholy and club music quite like Mind Against. Alessandro and Federico Fognini have spent years developing a sound where techno propulsion meets deeply emotional synthesis and influences extending into IDM and cinematic electronic music. Alongside their long relationship with Afterlife, they have gradually expanded their own artistic ecosystem through HABITAT Records.

Their sets tend to reward patience. Rather than constantly searching for immediate drops, Mind Against are capable of letting atmosphere accumulate: dark passages, restrained melodies and long transitions eventually becoming much larger emotional releases.

At 02:00 or 03:00 inside Lunar, that approach makes substantially more sense than it does on a sunny afternoon. This is exactly the environment in which Mind Against should be heard.

ADAM TEN - Lunar Stage

Adam Ten represents another side of the current electronic landscape. Less cinematic than Mind Against and considerably more playful, his sets move through indie dance, house, melodic elements, unexpected vocals and elastic grooves. Through Maccabi House and releases across labels including Diynamic, Crosstown Rebels and Hot Creations, he has become closely associated with a new generation of dance music that refuses to sit comfortably inside one genre.

That unpredictability is precisely the attraction. Adam Ten sets can feel less like watching an artist reproduce a predefined aesthetic and more like following a DJ continuously test where the dancefloor is willing to go. For dancers rather than spectators, this is one to circle.

OMIKI - Lunar Stage

Omiki may be one of the most strategically interesting bookings on the entire lineup.

Originally rooted in psytrance, he has increasingly collided that world with the melodic-techno ecosystem. The evidence is already in the music: recent collaborations with Argy include “WIND,” “RITMO” and 2026’s “MANTRA,” while his catalogue continues to move between melodic house & techno and psytrance rather than choosing one side.

That crossover gives his sets a particular weapon. Psytrance can inject a level of speed, propulsion and rhythmic intensity that becomes dramatically different after hours of melodic techno.

And sometime deep into Saturday night (or technically Sunday morning) that may be exactly what Lunar needs.

If You Can Only Choose a Few…

Zamna x Primer 2026 has enough depth that there is no objectively correct route through the weekend. But there are performances whose context makes them harder to replace.

Armand Van Helden for the history.

Stephan Bodzin for the live format.

MRAK for the chance to enter Carmine Conte’s solo universe.

Innellea B2B MORTEN because nobody really knows what that collision will produce.

Omiki for the crossover between psytrance intensity and the melodic-techno world - and for the kind of high-energy late-night set that could completely change the character of Lunar.

And, of course, Axwell because opportunities to experience one of house music’s defining artists operating alone are simply not something we would take for granted.

If there is one piece of advice from dancetoday heading into Zamna x Primer Music Festival 2026, it is this: Don’t only chase the biggest drop. Choose the sets you may not be able to experience the same way again.

And one more thing: don’t overlook the Greek support acts. Kalamo on Friday’s Lunar Stage, and Da Mike and FILIPPOS on Saturday, deserve a proper crowd too. If you can, get there a little earlier, give them your energy and support the local scene instead of showing up only when the biggest names take over.

Local authorities in Boom have decided to ban the use of aerial fireworks during the first weekend of Tomorrowland 2026.

The decision was made by the municipal authorities of Boom in cooperation with the provincial authorities of Antwerp and the relevant emergency services following a new risk assessment. Despite the additional safety measures adopted by Tomorrowland after the 2025 fire, the authorities concluded that the high temperatures, prolonged drought, and elevated wildfire risk do not allow the use of aerial fireworks during the first weekend of the festival. The restrictions apply to aerial fireworks and other pyrotechnic effects that could increase the risk of fire.

According to Belgian media reports, the decision came as a surprise to the festival organizers, who expressed disappointment after learning about it through the media before receiving official communication from the authorities. Despite their frustration with the process, Tomorrowland confirmed it will fully respect the decision and continue working closely with local officials to ensure the event is held under the highest safety standards.

Although the traditional aerial fireworks display will not take place, Tomorrowland's production is expected to remain as spectacular as ever. Visitors can still look forward to an impressive audiovisual experience featuring synchronized lighting, lasers, flame effects, LED visuals and the festival's signature stage production.

This decision carries far greater implications than many might realize. If authorities were able to stop Tomorrowland’s fireworks this year, it sets a precedent that could influence future editions as well. For the first time, fireworks are no longer something that can be taken for granted.

Meanwhile, the investigation for the fire that burnt down the Mainstage of 2025 remains ongoing. Based on the information currently available, a subcontractor improperly connected an effects device, causing large quantities of liquid ethanol—the fuel used to power the stage’s massive flamethrowers to leak out. The highly flammable liquid quickly soaked into the surrounding construction and decorative materials before igniting. Forensic experts are reviewing technical evidence, security footage and witness statements in an effort to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the incident. While the ethanol spill is considered one of the leading theories, Belgian authorities stress that the investigation has not yet been concluded and that no official final report has been released.

Despite the last-minute changes and additional safety measures, Tomorrowland 2026 is proceeding as planned. Organizers continue to emphasize that the safety of festivalgoers, artists and staff remains their top priority, while ensuring fans still receive the world-class experience for which Tomorrowland is known.
