Beats for Love 2026

Beats for Love 2026 is the 12th edition of the electronic dance music festival, taking place from 1 to 4 July 2026 in the industrial area of Dolní Vítkovice in Ostrava. This year's festival is titled Beats for Love Universe and is divided into three thematic zones: LOVE, SPACE, and INDUSTRIAL, connected by the visual artery PULSE.

Over 550 artists will perform across 18 stages. Headliners include Marshmello (Czech Republic festival debut on Love stage by ČSOB), Calvin Harris, Armin van Buuren, Axwell (member of Swedish House Mafia, performing in Ostrava for the first time), and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (festival debut). The stages cover subgenres ranging from trance, house, and techno to drum and bass and hardstyle; the Techno Dome by Proud offers a 360° stage surrounded by the audience.

The programme includes the Talking Beats conference, art installations, performances, and visual effects. The charity project Beats for Charity has distributed over one million crowns to those in need since its inception.

Tickets are sold exclusively through the LoveID system on the website b4l.cz. The festival is cashless. The area is accessible by tram (Dolní Vítkovice Hlubina stop), train to the main station with connecting public transport, or by car – parking must be purchased in advance.
