Hangar hosts a 2-days event on 1 and 2 May with Avalon Emerson, Ben UFO b2b Joy Orbison and Overmono at Port of Brussels. For its 5th anniversary, the festival is embarking on a new chapter, with a desire to return to its core values: a more cutting-edge program, redesigned spaces, and a particular focus on the overall experience.
This year, Hangar is also reworking the layout of the site and the stages, notably with a new barge, transformed into a stage in its own right, promising a truly unexpected and immersive setting.

Friday 1 May: Between Techno, UK Bass, and Performative Energy
The first day builds momentum, oscillating between tension and release, driven by artists like Daria Kolosova, a rising star of European techno, and Patrick Mason, whose explosive sets are as much performance pieces as DJ sets.
Alongside them, Overmono (DJ set) and Mia Koden bring a more emotional and textured UK touch, blending bass music and club experiments, while Oppidan injects a direct and highly effective garage energy.

Saturday, 2 May: Global Scene, UK Influences, and New Cultural Figures
The second day broadens the spectrum with a lineup that connects scenes and influences. Avalon Emerson brings a more narrative and sensitive dimension, while Ben UFO and Joy Orbison, key figures of the UK scene, navigate between garage, bass, and hybrid electronica.
