Top 10 Artists to Watch at ING Silesia Beats 2026

ING Silesia Beats 2026 returns to Park Śląski in Chorzów on June 12 and 13, with one of the most genre-diverse lineups the festival has ever booked. The bill spans techno, hardstyle, psytrance, house and big room, all hosted in one of Europe’s largest city parks just outside Katowice.

We’ve put together ten of the names you should not miss across the weekend.

HALO (Third Party, Matisse & Sadko, DubVision)

HALO is the joint project from three of progressive and big-room house’s most decorated production teams. Third Party from the UK, Russia’s Matisse & Sadko and Dutch duo DubVision now operate as one outfit, and the studio output has translated cleanly into the booth. Their Silesia set should be one of the more arena-scale moments of the weekend.

Padre Guilherme

The Portuguese DJ and Catholic priest has spent the last 12 months turning every booking into an event. He recently played a 150,000-strong crowd at Plaza de Mayo in tribute to Pope Francis and continues to fold sacred and dance music traditions into a single show. Genuinely unlike anything else on the bill.

Vini Vici

The Israeli psytrance duo are one of the most-played acts in the genre globally. Their high-BPM, high-energy approach has become the default psytrance sound across the festival circuit. Expect a relentless, wide-screen set that locks the front rows in for the full duration.

Lilly Palmer

The German techno DJ has been on a sharp upward curve over the past two seasons. Her Silesia booking sits inside one of the busiest stretches of her year and reflects how quickly she has moved into top-tier festival territory. Hard, percussive, melodic when it counts.

Maddix

The Dutch producer broke through with hard techno and big-room hybrids and now headlines mainstages around the world. His Silesia slot is going to be a peak-time, hands-up, breakdown-heavy set built for a crowd that wants to lose its voice by the end of it.

Sam Paganini

The Italian techno veteran behind ‘Rave’ brings a more focused, classicist counterweight to the harder Dutch and German selections on the bill. Sam Paganini does long, locked-in builds and trusts the kick drum to do the work. One for the heads.

Claptone

The masked German house DJ has built the gold-mask aesthetic into one of dance music’s most recognisable identities. The musical end of the show holds up just as well as the visual: deep, melodic, vocal-led house that translates clean to a Polish summer dancefloor.

Dimitri Vegas

One half of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Dimitri Vegas brings the Belgian big-room DNA to Silesia in solo capacity. The setlist will lean into the fan-favourite drops and the Tomorrowland-honed showmanship that has built the duo’s reputation across the past decade.

Coone

Belgian hardstyle pioneer Coone has been carrying the genre’s flag at festivals worldwide for years. His Silesia set will give the harder-edged corner of the audience the kicks-per-minute they came for, with the kind of in-room energy hardstyle is known for.

Mesto

The Dutch producer rose through the Spinnin’ ranks with progressive and future-bass leaning singles and has continued to evolve toward a more club-led sound. Mesto’s Silesia slot should hit the sweet spot between melodic crossover appeal and proper mainstage weight.
