Born on the banks of the Nile in 2015, Nyege Nyege grew from an underground gathering into a defining platform for contemporary music and art, Ugandan at heart, Pan-African in spirit. Set against the raw landscape of Kalagala Falls, the adventure unfolds over four days of continuous sound, radical expression, and total immersion. More than a music festival, we’re a living ecosystem where fashion, film, performance and music converge into one expansive collective celebration of cultures. For its 11th edition, Nyege Nyege mutates into a Wakaliwood-inspired film set, the script will unfold in the months to come.

In 2026, Unsound will take place across two cities for the first time in its history: Warsaw (2–6 October) and Kraków (8–11 October). Conceived as a single, continuous festival under the theme SOFT POWER, the programme will unfold across both locations, with no performances repeated between the two cities. The first programme announcement covers the festival as a whole, without dividing it between Warsaw and Kraków. This year’s edition has been conceived as a single event unfolding across two cities. Over the coming weeks, we will gradually reveal the locations of individual concerts, with the full programme allocation between the two cities to be announced in July. Please take this into account when purchasing the Passes. The two chapters of the festival will be connected by a dedicated Unsound train travelling from Warsaw to Kraków on 7 October. Passes for Warsaw and Kraków are on sale now, alongside a discounted combined pass granting access to both programmes. The train will require an additional ticket and is not included in any of the Passes. Individual event tickets, as well as tickets for the Unsound train, will go on sale alongside the next artist announcement. Further information can be found on the festival website: unsound.pl and in the FAQ section.

For its 16th edition from 8-11 April 2027, Rewire will return to the city centre of The Hague to present forward-thinking and genre-bending music that’s brimming with exploratory spirit. The festival takes place in a diverse range of venues, including concert halls, theatres, churches, nightclubs, galleries, and public space: showcasing a microcosm of experimental and boundary-pushing music. Ahead of the first line-up announcement later this year, Rewire is excited to present a Netherlands-exclusive performance of avant-garde icon Diamanda Galás as part of Rewire 2027, the festival’s 16th edition, taking place from 8 to 11 April. More artists TBA.

Meakusma is thrilled to announce the full lineup for the 2026 Meakusma Festival, which will once again descend upon the city of Eupen in Eastern Belgium from September 3rd to 6th. Four days of live performances, DJ sets, installations, workshops, and more. In true Meakusma spirit, the lineup is diverse, touching on both experimental and club music. Check out the festival website for a more detailed description of all proceedings and the day-to-day program. LINEUP

A FESTIVAL FOR ARTS, MUSIC AND THE BEAUTY OF THE UNFORSEEN

Traumburg is a charmingly DIY music and arts festival that takes place in an idyllic countryside castle two hours from Berlin. With over 80 artists, 4 floors and dozens of performances, workshops and installations, the lineup is their most ambitious yet, not only in scale but also in its range of artistic expression.
