DUMDUM’26

——————————————————

DDEMF is back for its 17th year!

Organized by TheEtiket, which has been active for over a quarter of a century, this mini-festival returns this year as a two-day event. The event is curated by Sikztah, who in 2026 continued to dream up the event—originally rooted in Győr—for Budapest. DUMDUM has consistently lived up to expectations with sold-out crowds, growing into one of the most electrifying summer raves of recent years.

DUMDUM—just like TheEtiket itself—has always been on the move. It has played at multiple venues within Győr, and this isn’t the first time the capital or another major city outside Budapest has hosted it. The lineup for June 12–13 is built almost entirely around a new-generation approach this time: a true time bomb, and a must-attend event for every die-hard raver.

Despite its provincial origins, DUMDUM / TheEtiket has, over the past two and a half decades, become one of the most established and innovative players on the domestic and international techno scene. The event has featured artists who are now global icons—many of them performing in Hungary for the first time—such as ALIGNMENT, BORIS BREJCHA, DAX J, KLANGKUENSTLER, KOBOSIL, HOLY PRIEST, NICO MORENO, TRYM, SNTS, and I HATE MODELS.

For connoisseurs, we could continue the list with RØDHÄD, SAM PAGANINI, ENRICO SANGIULIANO, PERC, LEWIS FAUTZI, SETAOC MASS, KEITH CARNAL, FLORIAN MEINDL, THE ADVENT, T47, PAR GRINDVIK, or BRIAN SANHAJI—though this list is by no means exhaustive.

It is clear that the series has always presented the various facets of techno and hardtechno to the audience with an open, experimental approach. And in June, it will carry that same energy forward at Arzenál, once again specifically tailored to the younger generation.
