Hardstyle heads, assemble. Reverze is back, and it’s not just big, it’s the biggest indoor hard dance event on the planet. If you’ve never felt your ribcage rattle at 150+ BPM, this is your cue to change that. For two nights every February, Antwerp goes full force: 70+ artists, two arenas, one non-stop adrenaline rush through the harder styles. Still on the fence?
Here’s why you need a dose of Reverze in 2026
1. It’s the temple of hard dance
Reverze isn’t just any rave, it’s the holy grail of hard. Every February, the Lotto Arena and AFAS Dome (formerly known as Sportpaleis) transform into a two-arena mega rave, just steps apart and both stacked with face-melting sound systems, razor-sharp visuals, and a lineup that pulls no punches. Whether you're deep in rawstyle, hyped on hardcore, or just there to lose your mind at 150+ BPM, this is your sanctuary. All the major artists from the hard dance industry come together at Reverze. Many artists premiere new live shows, such as Four Of A Kind, the premiere of two heavyweights: Sub Zero Project and D-Block & S-te-Fan, who are joining forces for a show never seen before. And with fans flying in from Spain, Italy, Canada and beyond, the vibe is as international as it is intense.
2. One weekend. Double the energy.
Reverze brings a split personality and that’s a good thing. Friday pays tribute to the roots with a full-blown classics takeover. Expect throwbacks, forgotten gems, and the legends who helped shape the sound. One arena dives deep into nostalgia, while the other pushes forward with the hardest, freshest new-gen names.
Then comes Saturday: a masterclass in balance. A seamless mix of rising stars and Reverze royalty sharing stages and swapping tempos, soundtracking a night that’s completely killer.
3. The Reverze Flashback set is iconic
Every year, there’s one set that gets everyone talking and watching on YouTube the next week. The Reverze Flashback is a one-hour time warp loaded with ’90s and 2000s anthems, mashed into a nostalgia trip. Think timeless melodies and enough throwback power to trigger a full-body rewind. Leading the charge this year is Mark With a K & MC Chucky. Live, it’ll be goosebumps. Online, it’s a must-watch. On the dancefloor? It’ll be chaos, in the best way.
4. World-class production that goes beyond boundaries
Reverze builds its universe around a new theme every year. The 2026 theme is all about that thin line between reality and AI. On the lineup are futuristic visuals, brain-melting light shows, and a 10-minute anthem showcase with every special effect in the book. If past years are anything to go by, the production won’t just raise the bar… it’ll launch it into orbit.
5. It’s a global gathering
Reverze isn’t just Belgium’s party, it’s everyone’s party. From Aussie DJs to UK diehards, American crews to Dutch regulars, the crowd is as mixed as the music. And whether you're repping your flag or just soaking it all in, you’ll feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where strangers become raving friends before the sun comes up on day 1.
Whether you’re chasing old-school anthems, hunting for the hardest drops, or just in it for the ride, Reverze delivers the kind of weekend that sticks with you. It’s loud, it’s intense, and it brings the hard dance community together like nothing else.
