Nervy are returning after years of silence thanks to PKO Bank Polski
After years away from the stage, Nervy are making their comeback—and they are doing it with a bang. Ahead of the release of their second…
We have learned the identity of the third headliner for the anniversary edition of Audioriver. Marlon Hoffstadt, the biggest star of the contemporary European trance scene, will perform in Łódź. He represents a younger generation than the previously announced headliners, The Prodigy and Disclosure, and serves as the icing on the cake for a festival program built around eclecticism and diverse experiences for various groups of electronic music lovers. Audioriver 2026 will take place on July 10-12 at Łódzkie Błonia. Weekend passes and single-day tickets are still on sale.
Marlon Hoffstadt debuted a good decade ago, playing in Berlin clubs when he was just fifteen. However, his career truly took off in 2020. His upbeat, euphoric productions proved to be a perfect fit for the home environment when we couldn’t go out to clubs and festivals. When music returned to the stages, fans of the German DJ elevated him to an absolute pedestal. Club Heart Broken quickly became one of the most crowded parties in Berlin and one of the most discussed collectives in the world. Today, Marlon Hoffstadt plays on equal footing with the likes of Tiësto and Armin van Buuren.
His “I Got You,” “It’s That Time,” “Call Me,” and “Losing Control,” recorded together with KI/KI, are today’s classic dance repertoire for Generation Z. This year at Audioriver, Malugi, with whom Marlon Hoffstadt co-runs Club Heartbreak, will also perform, along with Mischluft, Bad Boombox, X Club., and Øtta, offering a three-day showcase of fresh sounds of new, fast, yet pop-infused dance electronics.
However, Audioriver has options for lovers of various genres, presenting all varieties of electronic music. Alongside major stars like The Prodigy, Disclosure, and Marlon Hoffstadt, the main stage will also feature Apashe with a brass orchestra, the duo Parisi, responsible for producing artists like Fred again.. or Swedish House Mafia, Zhu, the creator of the massive hit “Faded,” and the popular project Kream.
Drum & bass legends like London Elektricity and Wilkinson will also come to Łódź, as well as the most important representatives of both modern heavy techno, such as Klangkuenstler and I Hate Models, and classic Berlin techno, represented by the old school of Berghain and the new blood of Tresor: Ben Klock, Len Faki, and Chlär. For enthusiasts of lighter sounds, there will be afro house played by Shimza, melodic played by Dyzen and Mind Against, and house journeys by Âme (live, in a duo with Trikk) and Damian Lazarus.
