🎶 About the Festival

FCKNYE Festival 2026/27 takes over Brussels Expo for three relentless days of music, movement and New Year energy. Since 2010, FCKNYE has developed one of Europe’s most distinctive New Year concepts. Today, it attracts ravers from more than 40 countries into one electric community.

This edition expects to welcome 75,000 festival-goers across more than 80,000 square metres. The enormous site combines indoor halls with specially installed outdoor tents around Brussels Expo.

Moreover, the festival changes its scale throughout the celebration. Two stages operate on December 30th and January 1st. Meanwhile, five stages ignite on New Year’s Eve for the festival’s biggest night.

Musically, FCKNYE moves between hardcore, hard techno, drum & bass, hip-hop and explosive electronic hybrids. Therefore, every stage offers a different route through the night.

The first announced names already promise an uncompromising programme. Angerfist, Dr. Peacock, Rebelion and Deadly Guns vs. Miss K8 represent the harder side. Meanwhile, Trym, Kobosil, Holy Priest, Restricted and blk. bring pounding techno energy. Hedex adds drum & bass intensity, while Kaaris and Bekar strengthen the rap programme.

In addition, special combinations make this edition even more distinctive. These include Apashe b2b Vladimir Cauchemar and Vald x Vladimir Cauchemar x Todiefor.

Expect towering sound systems, intense visuals and thousands of dancers moving beneath flashing lights. Above all, FCKNYE offers a spectacular escape from everyday life.

This is more than a midnight countdown. It is three days of controlled chaos, shared euphoria and an unforgettable entrance into 2027.

🗺️ How to get to and from FCKNYE Festival 2025?

Do it the Brussels way – by tram, metro, or bus! The city’s transport network is operated by STIB.
Organizers recommend buying your tickets in advance through the STIB app (available on Apple Store and Google Play).

Metro – the city’s artery: Take Line 6, get off at Heysel station, and follow the signs.
Tram: Take Line 35 and get off at Esplanade terminus.
Train: The nearest station is Gare Bruxelles-Midi. From there, take TRAM 10 and get off at Esplanade – the festival entrance is just 500 meters away.
Car: If you’re driving, you’re the “sober Bob” of the night! You can park at Parking C at Brussels Expo. Share your ride with other festivalgoers – make the most of your car and the parking space!

🛏️ Sleep Is Optional – Comfort Isn’t: Find Out Where to Stay

Forget cold nights and frozen tents – this is camping redefined!

Spread over 80,000 m², everyone will find their space. Over three days, around 75,000 people are expected to attend. Visitors come from all around the world, and after all that dancing, everyone needs a place to rest. Not everyone can retreat home, so the organizers created the next best thing – an indoor camping experience!

The campsite is located within the Brussels Expo complex. It may sound paradoxical, but camping indoors in winter has its own unique charm. Hundreds of people sleep under the same roof in what feels like an urban rave bunker. No nature or chirping birds here, but there are free showers and toilets, heated running water, heating, smoking areas, and electricity.
Food and drinks will be available on-site. Just make sure to bring a tent that doesn’t require stakes, choose one suitable for indoor setup. Be a good neighbor and keep noise down between 3:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

INDOOR CAMPING CLASSIC: from €54 per person.
INDOOR CAMPING PREMIUM: from €81 per person. This zone offers less crowding, more comfort, and private restrooms, plus a faster and smoother entry to the venue.
