BEAUVILLE 2026: Three Stages, Belgian Talent and a Castle Backdrop

On Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July 2026, BEAUVILLE returns to the 16th-century Ooidonk Castle in Deinze for its eighth edition. What once started as a creative side project by architects Wouter Verbrugghe and Vincent Verstrynge has grown into one of Belgium’s most distinctive boutique festivals.

BEAUVILLE Festival 2026 brings together heritage, Belgian electronic music and carefully considered aesthetics. It is a festival where setting, sound and quality meet in a location that feels both historic and contemporary.

A Clear Choice for Belgian Talent

For 2026, BEAUVILLE is making a firm artistic statement: the festival is fully dedicated to Belgian artists. This is not a temporary concept, but a clear direction for the future.

After previous editions featuring international names, the organisers became increasingly convinced that the real strength of BEAUVILLE lies in recognition, connection and local musical quality. By focusing on artists from Belgium, the festival creates a stronger bond between audience and music: familiar, energetic and genuine.

The first editions, with Belgian artists, simply felt stronger,” the organisers explain. “Today, we consciously choose to continue that path. We want to create an environment where people recognise themselves in the music and in each other, where the experience comes first.

Three Stages, Three Distinct Worlds

BEAUVILLE Festival 2026 unfolds across three stages, each with its own identity.

Main Stage

With Ooidonk Castle as its monumental backdrop, the Main Stage forms the beating heart of the festival. Known for its impressive VIP area, this stage brings together music, architecture and premium hospitality in a setting that feels grand yet refined.

Forest Stage

Hidden among the trees, the Forest Stage offers a more intimate and underground experience. Here, scenography and deeper beats come together in a secluded green setting, creating a different kind of connection between artist, crowd and location.

Corona Stage

Set along the banks of the River Leie, the iconic dome-shaped Corona Stage brings a warm summer energy to the festival. Its elevated position adds an architectural accent to the site, giving the stage a distinctive presence within the wider festival grounds.

A Line-Up with Character

Saturday 4 July focuses on contemporary electronic sounds. The Main Stage welcomes artists such as Hermanos Inglesos, John Noseda and crowd favourite Maxim Lany. The Forest Stage is hosted by Intens Kollektief, bringing a strong techno line-up that includes Marco Bailey and Kr!z. Meanwhile, the Corona Stage introduces a warmer, female-driven energy with artists such as Nimbah Naye, Zoey Hasselbank and Triciaa.

Sunday 5 July is positioned as a full retro day. The Main Stage welcomes Belgian dance legends, including Yves Deruyter, Bonzai All Stars and Cherry Moon Legends, artists who helped put Belgian dance culture on the international map.

The Forest Stage moves through retro, disco and eclectic influences, with names such as Loko Paris live and a notable back-to-back between Thang and Kenny Montana. Closing duties go to Jeroen Delodder, known for his ability to guide a crowd through the final stretch and keep people singing until the end.

On the Corona Stage, old-school R&B takes centre stage, with recognisable classics and energetic sets from artists including Hakimm b2b J.Roots and Black Frank & Gus.

Ooidonk Castle in Full Glory

The 16th-century Ooidonk Castle is not just a backdrop for BEAUVILLE. It is the heart of the festival.

After recent renovations, the estate once again stands in full glory. BEAUVILLE actively supports the maintenance, promotion and respectful use of this exceptional piece of Flemish heritage.

The fact that this event takes place here and helps bring attention to this heritage makes me proud and grateful, says Count Henry t’Kint de Roodenbeke.

The festival positions itself as a contemporary guest on a historic site, with great respect for the castle as host. With their background in architecture, the organisers continue to carefully balance experience and preservation.

As evening falls and the castle is subtly lit, the full setting takes on a cinematic quality.

Quality as a Complete Festival Experience

BEAUVILLE aims for high-level hospitality across the entire site. From music and scenography to gastronomy and service, every element contributes to a refined festival experience.

The VIP experience is known for its quality, with a strong focus on comfort, service and proximity to the artists, while keeping the essence of the festival intact. Outside the VIP areas, BEAUVILLE also focuses on space, calm and thoughtful site design, allowing every visitor to enjoy the festival in the best possible conditions.
