Eastside Festival returns to Karlsbad in Halle/Saale on 3–4 July 2026 for its fourth edition, presented by Pluswelt Promotion. The lakeside open-air event celebrates synthpop, EBM, dark wave, electro, and alternative electronic music across two days. Friday features British EBM pioneers Nitzer Ebb alongside Devision Redux, a new project reworking De/Vision material in a contemporary club context. The bill includes Black Nail Cabaret, Traitrs, In Strict Confidence, Future Lied To Us, and others, concluding with a DJ set by Richard Silverthorn of Mesh. Saturday emphasizes major Swedish synthpop act Covenant and explores German futurepop and EBM heritage through Solitary Experiments and Bigod 20, supplemented by Priest, Beborn Beton, Blackbook, and an acoustic set by Lennart Salomon. The festival operates as an intimate gathering rather than a large commercial event, featuring camping and beach amenities alongside electronic music programming and after-show DJ sets.
