Full Circle Antwerp 2026 is calling and we’re looking for DJs who know how to take a crowd on a journey. This contest is for the lovers of raw energy and relentless BPMs. We’re looking for DJs who bring the heat in Trance, Bounce & Drum n' Bass.

From all submissions, six finalists will be chosen to perform at the live finale event on Saturday, September 26 in Kavka Oudaan. From there, three winners (one per genre) will secure a slot on the official Full Circle Antwerp 2026 line-up:

• House: Openingslot on Tuesday, November 10 at Het Leienpaleis (hosted by SHOMI).
• Afro House: Openingslot on Tuesday, November 10 at Skybar Antwerp (hosted by Final Fantasy).
• Melodic Techno: Openingslot on Tuesday, November 10 at WOLF (hosted by From Dusk Till Dawn).

Before the final showdown, all selected finalists are invited to free masterclasses on Wednesday, September 16, at Plug The Jack, hosted by performing artists from the FCA26 festival.

Plus, we are thrilled to announce an exclusive new masterclass session in partnership with Lab of Tomorrow, located directly on the Tomorrowland grounds! Join us on Saturday, September 19, for a deep dive into the essentials of audio and lighting design.

The workshops are mandatory and happen during the day. Practical details to follow soon.

The grand finales will be a proper event at Kavka Oudaan on Friday, September 25 (for the other DJ Contest), and Saturday, September 26 (for this DJ contest).

Winners not only get to play on the FCA26 line-up, but also receive a €80 Plug The Jack voucher to help sharpen their craft.
