Dekmantel has announced the addition of morning programming to its festival offering next summer.
The Amsterdam event returns to its usual Amsterdamse Bos home in August, and doors will now open two hours earlier each day, at 11am. Across the festival’s Selectors, Greenhouse and RADAR stages, a number of acts will play special sets in those extra hours to open the day.
Dekmantel At Dawn will include a live improvisation-based opening performance by James Holden & Surgeon, as well as special sets by Jeff Mills, DJ Sprinkles, Jane Fitz, Eris Drew, Channel One, Colin Benders, and Satoshi Tomiie & Kuniyuki. Sampha is also listed to play a rare DJ set.
The full lineup for the festival will be announced in the coming months, with more than 100 acts expected to fill out the bill across the event.
Dekmantel will take place from July 31 to August 2, 2026.
