March Update: Full Lineup Locked — and the road to June moves through three cities
March arrives with a sense of resolution. The 2026 lineup is now complete — the full picture, from opening tension to final release. Over the past months, each announcement has added another layer to the journey, shaping a program built for long-form listening, pressure, and progression.
To close the final chapter, Andre Dias, ASEC (Live), Nørbak vs. Temudo, Phara, and Vera Grace (Modular Live) join the arc — the last names that bring the structure into focus. From modular architectures to hypnotic endurance, from precise groove control to raw forward motion, the story is now set: two days designed as one continuous movement.
The final additions: new faces, returning energy, and a house-built “versus”
The final lineup chapter isn’t just a list of names — it’s a set of roles that complete the picture.
On the new side, Vera Grace (Modular Live) and ASEC (Live) arrive as fresh additions: live performances that bring their own architecture into the forest, built in real time and designed for long arcs rather than quick impact.
On the returning side, Andre Dias comes in as a resident pillar — a name woven into the festival’s rhythm year after year, shaping its pace from the inside.
Then comes a pairing that feels like a signature move: Nørbak vs. Temudo — two artists from the same family (Hayes) meeting in “versus” form, a house-built format that carries both contrast and connection in the same moment.
And finally, Phara returns after delivering one of the standout sets last year — a night remembered for the kind of focus and drive that stays with you long after the final track. (A chapter that sat perfectly alongside the energy of Setaoc Mass that weekend.)
More than “final names”, these additions close the loop: new live architecture, resident continuity, a home-format clash, and a return that feels earned.
Beyond the lineup: three nights, three unions, one idea
Alongside the full lineup announcement, March also expands the road to June through three presentation nights. Each one is built as a shared effort — Danza Futura joining forces with collectives who shape their cities from the inside.
The idea is simple: a healthy scene is not built in isolation. It grows through collaboration, shared rooms, and nights where different communities overlap — not to compete, but to strengthen the ecosystem together.
Madrid: Danza Futura × Symbole — shared room, shared intent
Madrid hosts the first stop with Danza Futura × Symbole, a collaboration rooted in the kind of club culture that values pacing, tension, and atmosphere.
Gigi FM and Oxygeno share the bill here, bringing two distinct approaches to depth and pressure into the same room — the type of pairing that makes a club night feel like a chapter rather than a standalone event. Rosati joins the lineup with a sharp, forward-moving presence, while Andre Dias b2b Yeiks, Exubia, and PBL complete the arc with progression and control.
A room designed to unfold naturally: one night, one collaboration, different circles crossing paths — building continuity from the club to the forest.
Sevilla: Danza Futura × Stigma Tribale — residents connecting the dots
Sevilla follows with Danza Futura × Stigma Tribale, shaped around the people who hold the foundations of each collective. A residents-led night that speaks directly to the idea of scene-building: continuity, trust, and shared language.
On the bill: Andre Dias, Danza Macabra, Mario Tishok, and PBL — a focused selection built for flow and pressure, where the energy comes from control rather than excess. Less showcase, more connection: a room that grows stronger because the people behind it are aligned.
Amsterdam: Danza Futura × Lanna Festival at TillaTec — a statement night
To close the month, the road moves north with Danza Futura × Lanna Festival at TillaTec — a collaboration built to connect scenes across borders and carry the same long-form spirit into a new room.
At the center is a rare chance to experience two sides of one of Europe’s most proven names: Reeko and Architectural on the same bill — different concepts, different angles, the same unmistakable weight. Alongside, ORBE & PSYK (Live) bring the live dimension: long arcs, pressure, and structure evolving in real time.
The resident backbone is present too — PBL, Andre Dias, and Paramos — while Elisa Batti, Hermetica, Mangles, and Marie Cue add freshness and contrast to complete the night.
Closing March, opening the final stretch
With the full lineup locked and three collaborative nights on the road — Madrid, Sevilla, Amsterdam — the final stretch to June is officially in motion. Different cities, different communities, one shared direction.
