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

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.

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.
