Draaimolen has revealed the full line-up for its sold-out 2026 edition, returning to Tilburg’s MOB Complex on 4th–5th September following a year in which the festival’s future was secured through community support.
Remaining fully independent and non-profit, this year’s programme continues the festival’s commitment to experimental electronic music, with a host of world premieres, exclusive commissions and site-specific performances. Highlights include Shygirl debuting a new live show on the Strobe stage, Anthony Rother reviving his DATAPUNK alias, and Kangding Ray and Lumus Instruments premiering the audiovisual work Snelweg.
Across six forest stages, the line-up also features performances from The Necks, COLA REN & K-LONE, OK EG, Dials, Devon Rexi and John T. Gast, alongside DJ sets from DJ Firmeza, DJ Lycox, DJ Narciso, Dimitri and Fred P.
Elsewhere, Colombian label TraTraTrax curates The Pit with appearances from Los Thuthanaka, DJ Playero, Kelman Duran and Weird Baile, while the festival’s interdisciplinary approach continues through collaborations with leading visual artists. Ahead of the main event, Draaimolen will also host its Opening Concerts at Tilburg’s 013 venue, featuring commissioned audiovisual performances from Efdemin & Giorgi Zatisshvili, GiGi FM & Vincent Rang, and Legowelt as Zorlok Compressor.
