Old ground, new heights

Don’t worry, some things stay the same. You’ll still find us in the heart of Antwerp, at our beloved Waagnatie.

Now let’s clear up one big rumor: The Waagnatie isn’t being torn down. But by the time we start building Beyond Darklands 2026, construction at the Quais will already be underway. The reduced outdoor space creates an opportunity to expand the experience indoors.

So… we’re taking things inside. And up.

Elevated experience

Parts of the festival will rise to new heights, with elevated levels inside the venue. Of course, accessibility remains a top priority. Everyone, including guests with limited mobility, will have full and easy access to the new elevated decks.
