WECANDANCE FESTIVAL IS BACK FOR 2026

words by TIANA DE HASETH

It’s that time of the year again when the beach turns into an electronic music festival on the coast of Belgium. For the weekend of 14th, 15th, and 16th of August, WECANDANCE will return with an expansion of new stages and collaboration with young artists to connect through art, music, and fashion.

WECANDANCE festival expands its horizons this year by opening 3 new stages, to express ourselves even more freely than the year before, as the Zee Brugge beach transforms into a new atmosphere for us to explore. With more than 60,000 people attending, 100 + acts, 7 stages, a broad range of genres such as electronic, hip-hop, deep house, and techno, a variety of culinary choices, and an annual theme, this year WECANDANCE 2026 goes beyond just art, music, and fashion.

With this year’s theme being “Transparency,” we get to show our true selves through sheer fabrics. This is our moment to take our chance and be bold by wearing mesh tops, translucent vests, or lace tights; creating festival looks that will catch the ocean breeze as we dance and sweat to headliners HAAi, ANOTR APE, DJ GIGOLA, I HATE MODELS, MARLON HOFFSTADT, and more.

On Sunday, August 16, Numéro Netherlands will be closing the weekend off by hosting the SUPERCLUB stage with performances by HELENA LAUWAERT, JOB JOBSE, ISABELLA, MONTANA, EVA SELEZNEVA, ASIAN SAL and a B2B set by JOHN NOSEDA and KENNY MONTANA.

We hope you join our stage so we can all dance together and move until the music stops. Don’t forget to get your tickets on time and check the timetable on the WECANDANCE website so you don’t miss your favourite DJ!
