Stone Techno Festival shares 2026 line-up including Verraco, DVS1, OK Williams and Skee Mask
The techno-oriented three-dayer will return to the UNESCO World Heritage-protected former coal mine Zeche Zollverein in Essen, Germany, next July
Stone Techno Festival has shared the line-up for its 2026 edition, with DVS1, Skee Mask, Martyn, Bashkka, and more all scheduled to appear at the Essen-based event from July 10-12.
The yearly techno-centred festival, curated by German independent label The Third Room, will return to its former coal mine home, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein, for next year's edition — promising to open "new spaces" within the industrial complex.

Other highlights from Stone Techno Festival's 2026 line-up include Barker, OK Williams, Roman Flügel, Upsammy, Vladimir Ivkovic, Verraco, Powder, Ogazón, Gabrielle Kwarteng, Call Super, Freddy K, Anthony Naples, GiGi FM, and many more.
Alongside its four on-site arenas, Stone Techno Festival will introduce a fifth stage within Zollverein's Kokerei (cokery); according to a press release, the new stage will be designed as a "circular amphitheater", catering to "deep listening and sensory awareness" to offer a "slow" alternative to the raucous sonics of its other stages.
Following stage takeovers from London's FOLD, Brussels' FUSE, Madrid's Laster, and more last year, Stone Techno Festival's 2026 edition will see The Third Room launch its Curation Series, with six artists set to curate stages.

Coming alongside the release of a “12-inch limited edition vinyl, Gigi FM, Oscar Mulero, D.Dan, Verraco, Freddy K, and Alarico will each host a 12-hour slot at one of Stone Techno Festival's stages across the festival's three-day span.
Alongside improvements to the festival's lighting and sound for 2026, Stone Techno Festival will also be adding a new bar to its site. During the festival, attendees will be able to visit a pop-up vinyl store from Rotterdam's Clone Records.
