Waves Festival 2026: the experimental electronic music festival in Romania

Waves Festival takes place in Romania to explore the territories of experimental electronic music. This 2026 edition, scheduled from July 3 to 5, brings together 10 artists for three days of avant-garde sounds. The festival cultivates a strong identity around sound experimentation, attracting a curious audience open to innovative musical forms.

The 2026 lineup favors hybridizations between electronic and experimental rock, with Lost Frequencies headlining, alongside Dame Area and WaqWaq Kingdom. The festival also explores avant-prog and noise rock currents.

Waves explores a wide range of contemporary electronic niches, from IDM to glitch via industrial music and experimental ambients. This cutting-edge programming positions the festival as a sonic laboratory, far from commercial dance standards, favoring artistic research and immersive audiovisual performances.

From July 3 to 5, 2026, Romania hosts explorers of experimental music. Check the lineup and book your tickets.
