HARDWELL CONFIRMS FIVE-CITY NORTH AMERICAN RUN FOR 2026

After three monumental shows in 2025, Hardwell is returning to the USA, and this time he’s bringing even more heat. The global electronic titan has now officially unveiled his 2026 North American tour, marking a powerful return to the United States this June with five headline performances across key cities.

Set to take in New York, Washington D.C., Dallas, Denver and San Francisco, the run signals Hardwell’s biggest capacity US tour in recent years, a statement of intent from an artist who continues to evolve at the forefront of mainstage techno and big room innovation.

Following a relentless, globe-spanning schedule, Hardwell has played at Ultra, Tomorrowland, Coachella, and other key festivals across every continent. Building on these global appearances, he recently made a landmark return to EDC Mexico, performing to 75,000 fans, and he is slated as one of the headline acts for EDC Las Vegas later in the year. Looking ahead to 2026, Hardwell continues to ignite the Americas. Armed with a recharged sonic direction, his post-REBELS NEVER DIE era now leans further into driving, high-impact techno influences, while still retaining the melodic tension and cinematic builds that cement his status as one of dance music’s most influential figures.

Fans can expect a forward-facing show designed around unreleased material, bespoke edits and exclusive live IDs, alongside reinvigorated versions of classics that shaped festival main stages worldwide. With production tailored to each venue, the tour promises a more immersive experience compared to his large-scale festival appearances.

A two-time World No.1 DJ, Revealed Recordings founder and architect of some of the most defining anthems of the past decade, Hardwell’s trajectory has never been about nostalgia. Instead, the Dutch heavyweight continues to push into new territory: sharper, darker and more uncompromising than ever.

Speaking on the upcoming run, Hardwell stated: “Last year’s run of shows was so much fun. Every single night the fans brought that crazy energy, so I knew we had to do it again in 2026, and here we are! After the voting campaign, a lot of fans were really vocal about their desire for an extended tour, so I’m seriously pumped for this one. We’re hitting five cities this time, and it’s going to be even crazier. Let’s go one more time!”

Pre-sale registration is now live via his official website, with general on-sale details to follow.

SANKEY’S MANCHESTER GRANTED 6AM LICENSE

Their legendary in house night The Redlight will also return for a Bank Holiday weekend special with Felix Da Housecat!

Instagram | Website

Sankey’s Manchester has been granted a new 6am licence, marking another major milestone in the club's celebrated history. The club has been back in action for a month now, with an announced season of established and rising names plus special guests still to come.

The newly granted 6am licence restores the late-night freedom that once defined Sankey’s, allowing the venue to again deliver an extended club journey that Manchester’s underground scene has long been craving.

This news coincides with the return of Sankey’s seminal in-house brand, The Redlight, set to take place on Saturday 24th May across the Bank Holiday weekend. The move underlines the Sidney Street venue’s strong intent as it continues rebuilding one of the UK’s most influential underground institutions. 

Famously rooted in the original Sankeys Soap era throughout the 2000s and beyond, The Redlight was always dedicated to the club’s house and garage-focused programming and became synonymous with raw, sweat-soaked underground energy. The May Bank Holiday edition sees Felix Da Housecat headline under The Redlight banner, with OG Sankey’s residents Krysko and Bucky in support and firmly anchoring the night in the club’s heritage.

The new 500-capacity space features the same stripped-back, immersive atmosphere that defined the original Sankeys experience with an LED matrix installation and a no-VIP, no-phones dancefloor policy. Meanwhile, weekly Saturday events with unannounced headliners are now well underway with names like Heidi, Maya Jane Coles, Solardo, Stacey Pullen, Steve Lawler, Magda, Nick Curly, Oxia and more set to take over the decks.

With extended hours now in place and a legendary brand back on the calendar, the DNA of the original club is unmistakably back, reinstating Sankey’s as the beating heart of Manchester nightlife.

SURREAL PARK’S SOUL FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES CARL CRAIG B2B MOODYMANN, KINK (LIVE), MOCHAKK, LEN FAKI, GUY J, RATIER, SASHA AND MORE

Surreal Park, one of the world’s biggest nightlife destinations with a 135,000m² clubbing complex, will host three simultaneous stages curated by Defected, D EDGE and We Are Lost this April

Set inside one of the world’s largest clubbing spaces, Surreal Park based in Camboriú, Santa Catarina (Brazil), an open-air environment that lets audiences move between multiple stages, outdoor areas and distinct worlds in a single night.

On April 3rd Surreal Park returns with Soul Festival, the fourth edition of its annual in-house festival concept. Designed as a celebration of what truly moves a dancefloor - identity, heritage and connection - the event unfolds across three simultaneous stages, Ritual, Bells and Nomad, each curated by a globally recognised institution within club culture.

Ritual by Defected - House music, in its living form

Surreal Park’s main stage welcomes Defected, one of the most influential and enduring names in global House music. A defining moment will be Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, a rare meeting of two foundational Detroit figures whose shared roots shaped the DNA of modern House and Techno. Also confirmed is KiNK (live), celebrated for unpredictable, fully organic performances, with appearances in Brazil notably rare. Mochakk makes his long-awaited Surreal Park debut, arriving as one of Brazil’s most internationally in-demand artists. Ratier, Surreal Park’s host and creative force, joins the lineup with nearly 30 years of career and an influential presence across House and Techno.

Bells by D EDGE - Techno at full pressure

Curated by São Paulo institution D EDGE, with over 25 years of continuous history shaping Brazil’s electronic scene, Bells delivers hypnotic, straight-to-the-point Techno. Headlining is Len Faki, historic Berghain resident and one of the genre’s most respected figures, known for precise, high-energy sets. Also on the stage: Mila Journee, Aninha, plus one additional artist to be announced.

Nomad by We Are Lost - Progressive storytelling and long-form immersion

The festival’s third axis arrives via Nomad by We Are Lost, marking the first time the We Are Lost festival concept lands in Brazil. Led by Guy J, the brand is known for narrative flow, emotional tension and long-form immersion. This will be Guy J’s fourth appearance at Surreal Park, continuing a relationship defined by consistently packed floors. He is joined by Sasha, a true icon of Progressive House and a central figure in the genre since the 1990s, alongside Sahar Z and Surreal Park resident Teclas.

A festival built for a venue of global scale

Soul Festival is designed specifically for the scale of Surreal Park’s 135,000m² complex, allowing audiences to move fluidly between House, Techno and Progressive, while experiencing the venue’s open-air atmosphere, wide outdoor spaces and multi-stage layout. The result is a night that feels both personal and massive: three curated rooms, one destination, and a crowd building its own journey across the site.

Soul Festival takes place on April 3rd at Surreal Park in Camboriú, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Early tickets are available through the official platforms via the Surreal Park website. Further information, set times and updates will be announced through Surreal Park’s official channels.
