Curated by Fuse, Belgium’s longest-running techno retreat, XRDS – Crossroads Festival returns on Friday, August 14 and Saturday, August 15, 2026.

From leftfield house to techno, with detours into breaks, drum & bass, and beyond, XRDS welcomes a mix of local pioneers and global visionaries. Carefully chosen yet full of surprises, our program aims to be open, adventurous, and always evolving.

Over two days and three stages, more than 50 artists will bring us a varied soundscape that draws you in and keeps you there. Nestled in the heart of Brussels, XRDS unpacks in a setting like no other, tucked beneath towering highways, yet cradled by the quiet beauty of Parc des Étangs / Vijverspark. Here, the hum of the city drops into a different kind of tone, letting concrete and canopy intertwine, and dance floors emerge in the most unexpected of places.
