Dominator impresses with extensive line-up: “The very greatest in hardcore and beyond”

By Wouter de Vink 21 March 2024

The infamous Dominator Festival is going bigger than ever with the just-announced line-up. Never before have so many of the heaviest artists appeared at the largest hardcore festival in the world: with many upgrades and new stages on both days. “Join our cause and enter… The Core Citadel.”

Tens of thousands of hardcore fanatics around you, the burning sun on your head and the drifting sand between your teeth: Dominator has been a leading festival for fans worldwide for many years. Organisations Art of Dance and Q-dance are going a step further this time, because the line-up is packed with lots of specials and hard acts for two days. It is not without reason that a record number of visitors is expected.

The renewed Friday of Dominator starts immediately as a full-fledged festival day and is huge this year: 5 stages including RAW and the return of the Early Hardcore area. On the mainstage you will find a wide variety of hardcore, including a special set from Angerfist who looks back to his famous Retaliate album. In addition, Cryogenic puts golden early records in his Twisted Time Machine, MBK presents his World of Distortion and so much more. “Get ready for total mayhem.”

Traditionally, Dominator Saturday is huge on all fronts. Spitnoise presents his MIX THE FUTURE act on the largest hardcore mainstage in the world, where Miss K8, N-Vitral and many others will also make an appearance. The territory of RAW is the stage for Aversion, D-Sturb and Rebelion among others, and you cannot ignore Extreme Hardcore, Classic Hardcore, Frenchcore, Hong Kong Violence and Future Heroes. Check out the full Dominator 2024 line-up with more than 150 artists below.

“We will open the gates to the ultimate sanctuary for hardcore rebels from all over the globe”

Dominator – The Core Citadel will be held on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 July 2024 in Eersel. Thousands of regular and camping tickets have already been sold, so head to the festival’s official website to get yours and for more information.
