Programme

The Hangar Festival is a 2-day electronic music festival along the Brussels Canal. For its fifth edition on 1 and 2 May, Hangar Festival returns to the Quai de Heembeek, turning the Brussels canal into a raw, open-air playground for electronic music, set against an industrial backdrop of concrete, water and early spring light. The 2026 edition features a fully transformed barge stage, an unexpected setting that should add a dreamlike layer to the weekend.
