Had to bring in the big guns for the last dance… let us know who you’ve got your eyes on in the comments ⬇️



An RNV legend in his own right, this is his eighth appearance, including a surprise solo international slot back in 2020 during border restrictions. Belgian, brilliant, and one of the most influential names in DnB history.

The Aussie behind the DnB remix of “Down Under” that went to #1 in NZ for four weeks straight (longer than the original ever managed). Big, bold, unmistakably built for a festival headliner.

UK DnB royalty. Handpicked by Chase & Status back in 2016, 1991 has been shredding dancefloors ever since with a sound that swings from melodic liquid to full-throttle heavy. Collabs with Sub Focus and Netsky, a debut album under his belt, and a reputation as one of the genre’s most respected names.

Auckland’s next big export. His 2025 single “I Like It” went #1 on Beatport and topped NZ’s dance charts, now he’s carrying that momentum from a packed-out RNV Rhythm Stage debut into stages worldwide.

The Dutch crossover kid who broke the internet when Martin Garrix dropped his DnB remix of “Jungle” at Ultra Miami. Blending festival-pop polish with heavyweight bass, Arcando’s rise has been rapid and relentless.

Nottingham’s high-energy trio: MC Spyda, Blu Bomma and DJ Slipz, bringing pure chemistry and chaos. The type of set that feels like a party.

Bristol’s finest vocalist-turned-DJ. Started out singing covers on YouTube, ended up one of DnB’s most in-demand voices. We’re talking anthems with Kanine and Technimatic, a BBC Radio 1 residency, and a swag of Best Vocalist and Best Female DJ awards to match.

Brighton’s jungle-schooled selector. From Hospital Records warm-up sets to hosting their Rinse FM show, Lens brings deep genre knowledge and a set that swings from liquid rollers to old-school jungle without missing a beat.

Belgian melodic bass machine. First drum & bass artist in five years to headline Tomorrowland’s Mainstage, and he’s not slowed down since. Bringing festival-ready anthems built for full volume.

Wellington-born and rising fast
