Inspired by the tragic opera heroine Carmen, Beyond Classic 2026 dives into baroque and contemporary stories of desire, resistance and passion. Expect Carmen-inspired personas, a hint of tango and performances that blur the line between beauty and obsession.

Together with Fetish@Pride.Amsterdam, we stand for visibility, safety and most of all connection. Fetish isn’t just about style but it’s about history, about resistance and about self-expression.

Beyond Darklands brings the boldest kink entertainment to life. To make that happen, we’re on the hunt for fresh and fierce performers who know how to leave a mark, both on stage and in the crowd’s memory.

Which drop made your spine tingle or had your boots glued to the dancefloor? We want to hear from you. Cast your vote for the DJ who lit up the night during Fusion or Rage at Darklands 2025.

The beating heart of Beyond Darklands isn’t just the parties, shows or darkrooms. It’s the people. The lovers, the explorers, the kinksters. That’s why we created the Darklands Community Zone.
