Voodoo Village has rounded out the line up for its 11th edition, adding a new layer to a 2026 programme built around music, performance, wellbeing, visual culture and collective presence at the castle of Humbeek just outside Brussels.
The announcement introduces Orphica, a new immersive stage dedicated entirely to the performing arts. Built for theatre, spoken word, dance, acting and multidisciplinary performance, Orphica expands the idea of what a festival stage can hold, placing language, movement and stillness alongside the musical programme. Confirmed performers include Ategha, Ferre & Bruna, Jazz Sanusi, Melody van Gompel and Pommelien, with more names to follow.
Alongside the curated programme, Voodoo Village has opened a public call for performers, inviting its audience and wider creative community to apply for a place on the Orphica stage.
The announcement also brings new musical additions and developments across the festival’s five worlds. Voodoo Village 2026 sees Alycia Bezgo, Amalie, BILLY, CAMILO FRANCO b2b NADJA, CØPAL (Hybrid Live), Desiderata, Elli Acula, Ginton, Isa Roos, Jarl Flamar, Luna & Lenthe, Maxi Meraki b2b Son of Son, Mella Dee, Mushina (Live), Nico Morano, Odrik, solaene, Stanislawa, Stereoclip, and Tori Ann, joining an already stacked line up featuring the likes of &ME, Anetha, DVS1, Jimi Jules b2b RY X, Len Faki b2b Quest, Mathame, Mella Dee, Monolink (Live), Nina Kraviz, Parra For Cuva, PAWSA and more.
Voodoo Village is built around five energies and five worlds: The Forest, The Oracle, The Shelter, The Observatory and The Yard. For 2026, that framework deepens with several new developments across the site.
The Shelter broadens its musical scope while keeping the electronic music continuum at its foundation. On Sunday 13 September, the stage partners with BCCO, the Berlin-based independent curatorial platform known for its close ties to Europe’s underground club culture.
The Observatory gets a full visual redesign this year, including a new in-house designed light object. Its programme moves further into underground and local sounds, anchored by collaborations with Antwerp club TRAUM (Aka the former Café d’Anvers) and Helena Lauwaert & Friends, marking Helena’s first festival hosting.
The Yard expands its live act and performance focus, with The Blaze (DJ Set) and sitting alongside a broader musical range that pushes beyond conventional electronic festival programming.
Festival organizer Maxim Dekegel explains the approach: “A festival has always been more than a series of DJ sets for us. We want to create a place where you can take time to discover, pause, and allow yourself to be surprised. That’s why we continue to develop Voodoo Village as an experience festival, where music remains the starting point but never the only story.”
New for 2026, Voodoo Village also introduces listening and radio bar Calypso, developed in collaboration with Studio Calypso, We Are Various and La Nuyt, with design by artist Marius Ritiu.
Neither a stage nor a conventional bar, the space is designed for curated listening, radio broadcasting and reception. It offers a place to slow down, listen carefully and be present without needing to move.
Wellbeing remains central to the Voodoo Village experience, not as an add-on but as part of the festival’s structure. Within The Oracle, the festival will host workshops, rituals, personal sessions, botanical experiences, a nomadic market, listening sessions and movement practices across the full weekend.
New this year, the programme also introduces a series of sensory sessions that bring the wellbeing lane into more tactile, grounded territory. A botanical experience invites visitors to explore plants and mushrooms through sight, smell, taste and touch. Intuitive body art becomes a space for self-expression and connection, while a natural dye workshop gives festival goers the chance to create their own bandana using dried flowers and herbs. Sunday sees a full stage take over by BOHO, the community formed by dj’s CAMILIO FRANCO and NADJA, to foster consciousness and togetherness on and off the dancefloor.
Already confirmed for Voodoo Village 2026 are Anetha, Nina Kraviz, The Blaze (DJ Set), Mathame, DJ Tennis b2b Mita Gami, Jimi Jules b2b RY X (DJ), PAWSA, 999999999, NTO, Franky Rizardo, &ME, DVS1, MARRØN, Monolink (Live), Parra for Cuva, Vintage Culture, Young Marco and more.
Together, the previously announced programme reinforces Voodoo Village’s reputation as Belgium’s best kept secret: a festival that places deeply curated programming alongside world-class production and an atmosphere that feels like a true world apart. Set across the castle grounds of Humbeek, its five-world framework turns the weekend into something more immersive than a sequence of stages, creating a temporary village where music, design, wellbeing and human connection move as one.
