ESNS 2026 Completes Line-Up with Final Artist Additions
ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) has confirmed the final 41 acts for its 2026 edition, completing a line-up of 261 emerging artists from 39 countries.
For 2026, ESNS moves away from country-specific spotlights and instead embraces a broader cultural theme under its new Europe Calling manifesto.
The programme aims to showcase the continent’s creative diversity, presenting artists from a wide spectrum of genres, languages, and cultural backgrounds — from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean and across Central and Eastern Europe.
The showcase festival will take place from 14–17 January in Groningen.
The last additions to the Eurosonic programme include Barbora Hora (CZ), Chikiss (BY), Dina Jashari (MK), Droom Dit (NL), Etceteral (SI), Fauna (SE), Flo Naegeli (DE), Funky Flamingo Fiasco (MD), Goldkimono (NL), Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio (FI), Isak Benjamin (SE), Man/Woman/Chainsaw (UK-ENG), Mount Palomar (UK-NIR), N’famady Kouyaté (UK-WAL), Nusantara Beat (NL), Odhran Murphy (UK-NIR), Saga Faye (SE), Sofía Gabanna (ES), Susobrino (BE), and YĪN YĪN (NL).
These acts will perform across multiple venues in Groningen from Wednesday to Friday.
Media partners 3FM and FunX, together with Sena, have revealed five new artists for the Noorderslag talent stage: Dylisa (FunX), Fit (3FM), Josua Peter (3FM), Lavils (FunX), and XXJULÍA (3FM).
Dutch rapper Donnie (pictured) will open Noorderslag’s Main Hall with a special performance titled Donnie presents: The Party Committee.
