Dekmantel completes the line up with the final names and cultural program for its 13th edition of their annual spring festival Lentekabinet.

The newly announced acts are set to grace the Aster, a new stage focused on live performances and showcasing the best of local scenes. On Saturday, the Aster will be presented in collaboration with Kazerne Reigersbos, a creative community hub based in Amsterdam South-East, highlighting emerging hiphop and jazz talent.

On Sunday, PIP Radio, platform of The Hague‘s infamous cult club PIP, brings a wild cocktail of sounds featuring live shows by punk star Sophie Straat and stay away from dante!, while Sandor Dayala & Willem Feltzer mix pop into futuristic club beats.
The final name of the line up will be the winner of the annual Lentekabinet Band Contest, happening at Skatecafe on April 25. The open call for live acts runs until April 10.
Zooming in on the 2026 music programme previously announced, Lentekabinet widens its sonic horizons while welcoming back longtime festival favorites. On the line up sure shots like Call Super, Honey Dijon, Job Jobse and Young Marco appear alongside Dutch electro-hop icon Sef, who brings his acclaimed live show for his first-ever Lentekabinet appearance.
Another live highlight comes from Rozaly, introducing a new chapter with his band Riddimbox. Honoring the classic house spirit the festival is known for, Lil Louis, HUNEE, and Gabrielle Kwarteng set the tone, while also exploring new territory through techy grooves led by one-off back-to-backs from Chris Stussy & Shanti Celeste, BASHKKA & PARAMIDA & tINI, and global icon Seth Troxler.
A bass-forward corner of the programme rounds out the spectrum, with CCL & Verraco, DJ EZ, Goldie, SHERELLE, and many more highlighting breaks, garage, footwork, dubstep, and percussion-driven rhythms. Together, they wrap up a bold array of names into one eclectic springtime gathering.
Together with a new circle of cultural partners, Lentekabinet will come to life both inside and beyond the festival grounds. Cantina Mobilé (known for Aprilfeesten and Homelanding) brings their trademark spectacle of curiosities to Het Twiske, taking over the area around the Aster stage with food and art.
Striptopia opens their own inclusive stripclub, with after parties hosted by Glamcult featuring secret acts. All around the site, collective Verloren Bekisting is in charge of art installations.
