Dutch festival Dekmantel Festival is back after cancelling their annual festival last year! Taking place over the weekend of 6 to 8 August in the lush green fields of Amsterdamse Bos, Dekmantel Festival will be coming back in full force with high-profile DJs from the house and techno scene.

The lineup highlights include Antal and Hunee DJing for 10 hours, Randomer & Matrixxman and Skee Mask DJing with Stenny. The lineup, which is largely the same as last year sees a couple of changes, with new acts having been announced.

Live acts include 808 State, Aurora Halal, dBridge as Black Electric, Floating Points, Karenn, Robert Hood, Freedom Engine and Bufiman. Aquarian, Batu, DJ Stingray, DJ Harvey, DjRUM, Helena Hauff, Interstellar Funk, Juliana Huxtable, SHERELLE and Josey Rebelle are among those slotted to DJ across six stages. 

The full lineup is beefed up with the likes of Altin Fun, Anthony Rother, Aurora Halal, Bambounou, Beta Librae, Call Super, Carlos Souffront, Casper Tielrooij & Tako, Cinnaman, Clark, David Vunk, Dazion, Identified Patient, Jane Fitz, Job Jobse, Jasss & Low jack, Mad Miran, Nazira, Peaking Lights, Parrish Smith, Oceanic, Lee Gamble, Objekt, Roxymore, Talismann, Re:Ni, Roza Ternez, Thomas Martojo, Upsammy, Young Marko, Satoshi, and more.
 

Expect only top-quality vibes from Dekmantel, who has built up its reputation in the country for curating the best disruptive tastemakers and creative talents in the techno house and underground music scene. Weekend passes are €152, with day passes at €63.

While the festival has expanded over the past couple of years to include an extra day of interviews, guest podcast panellists, and talks, turning it into a mini-conference of sorts, the 2021 edition sees Dekmantel returning to its original progamming of a solid music lineup festival.

The full lineup was announced just after the Dutch authorities gave the green light for festivals to run at full capacity, although the Dekmantel website has not been updated with any COVID-19 advisories like restrictions on mask wearing or presentation of vaccination status.

Dekmantell Festival 2021 is happening in Amsterdamse Bos from 6 to 8 August 2021. Weekend passes start from €152, and day passes start from €63.
