Contrair Open Air 2026

On 18 & 19 July 2026, Contrair takes over OLT Rivierenhof in Antwerp for a two-day celebration of electronic music. And this year there's a twist: for the first time, the festival bursts out of the arena and into the park itself. A brand-new custom stage, built together with architecture students, means double the fun, one park, and the most beautiful outdoor setting in the country as your dancefloor. Saturday 18 July — Let's Dance! A full day of international DJs and selectors across both stages. Danilo Plessow (MCDE) brings soulful house and timeless groove. DJ EZ is the undisputed king of UK garage. Eris Drew turns the dancefloor into a ritual. Eclectic Elektra brings deep house with cosmic flair after a decade in Berlin. SUCHI delivers colourful, psychedelic club music. Sam Alfred serves up jazz-dipped house with a 90s soul. shoplifter is one of Belgium's most exciting rising names. Plus: ttyfal b2b massignan.y and a very special Zephyr b2b SVE for the vinyl heads. Sunday 19 July — One More Tune Sunday is something different. Three acts, all live electronics, no DJ sets, a deliberate choice that makes for a truly special closing night. Ão perform songs from their new album Malandra, a gorgeous blend of Portuguese vocals, afropop, artpop and electronic warmth. ECHT! bring their explosive jazz-meets-electronic live show. And Lander & Adriaan close the weekend with their infectious mash of 90s rave, juke, techno and funky house in full 360° mode. 18 & 19 July 2026 OLT Rivierenhof, Antwerp Tickets via oltrivierenhof.be
