Don’t miss these sets
Things really get going on Friday. You can look forward to headliners like Paul Elstak, the king of Hardcore on the mainstage. In 2025 he couldn’t perform because of illness, and now it’s finally time for him to show Esize what he has in store. Showtek, Dr Donk, Erabreak, Lost Identity, Outsiders, Ran-D, Revolte, Sonicz B2B Thryze, The Straikerz and Yoshiko B2B Dr.Z round things up at the Hardsize.
Saturday brings Jebroer on the Mainstage again, and the Hardsize is getting even harder with Anderex, Basskiller, Euphoric legend Brennan Heart, Crest B2B Dropixx B2B Resensed, Dimitri K ft. MC Robs, Dirty Thirty with the legendary “Festivalwecker”, Gldy Lx, Sound Rush and Timbo & This Chris.
On Sunday you’ll find the perfect last day on the Hardsize with legend Coone, Gregor le Dahl, Katalyze, Noiseflow, Sickmode, The Saints & Zelecter with his Classics.
Side quests
If your feet need a break from all the dancing, Electrisize has a lot to offer: Chill-out areas, a beer garden, a Ferris wheel where the ride is worth it just for the view, a great food court where everyone will find something to their liking, and, for the first time: The Source. A place where you can do things like yoga, chill out, root & bloom, workshops, community art wall, bio food truck, and non-alcoholic long drinks. It is recommended to register you for the activities so it’s safe for you to do them. You can find the link in the Instagram bio of Electrisize.
You can also do some “side quests” like airbrushing with reality star Calvin Kleinen (known from, e.g., Ex on the Beach, RTL 2), real tattoos & piercings, merchandise, and signing sessions. Places you must visit will be the Ferris wheel, Campfire, AOK Hangout Village, and the photo wall for an unforgettable moment.
One special show every day
You can look forward to the opening show on Friday at 22:00 with fireworks, the ceremony on Saturday at 22:00, and the closing show on Sunday at 23:00.
