Beats for Love 2026: The masked star Marshmello will make Ostrava dance.

The largest electronic dance music festival in Central Europe is expanding its program with the first major name for the upcoming edition, which will take place in the area of Lower Vítkovice in Ostrava from July 1 to July 4, 2026.

New edition

One of the headliners will be one of the most significant phenomena of contemporary electronic and popular music – American DJ and producer Marshmello. The organizers also introduced a groundbreaking innovation called LoveID. This practical user account will make it easier and more enjoyable for visitors to enhance their festival experiences, from purchasing and managing tickets to benefits, news, and security.

Visitors can expect a strong line-up full of world-famous names

Beats for Love 2026 will welcome one of the most well-known and popular icons of the global electronic scene – DJ and producer Marshmello. The iconic figure with a white marshmallow-shaped mask has long transcended the boundaries of the dance event world and has become a symbol of global pop culture. On the Love stage by ČSOB, Marshmello will bring his show, which combines the best of the EDM genre and catchy pop. The global hits he has created with stars like Selena Gomez, DJ Khalid, or Bastille demonstrate his visionary ability to connect genres and reach fans across generations. His sets are renowned for their explosive energy and catchy melodies that will uncompromisingly get all attendees dancing.

“Marshmello is one of the biggest names in contemporary electronic & pop music, and his show is exactly the type of experience that makes Beats for Love exceptional. His energy, connection with the audience, and the visual aspect of the performance push the boundaries of the festival experience. We are excited to finally welcome him to Ostrava after years of waiting,” says Jiří Ramík, booking manager of the festival.

Fan interest in LoveID has exceeded expectations - tickets are selling out quickly

Interest in the largest dance festival in the heart of Europe is enormous once again – the organizers of Beats for Love report that more than half of the festival-wide tickets for the 2026 edition are already sold out in pre-sale. This year, fans can look forward not only to a strong line-up but also to a technological innovation in the form of the so-called LoveID. This new system represents the digital identity of each visitor, linking tickets and benefits into one secure profile, a user account. Registration for LoveID is essential for purchasing, transferring, or activating tickets; without it, tickets cannot be obtained or forwarded. LoveID also allows for secure ticket management and a clear overview of benefits, including exclusive news. Thanks to LoveID, the festival experience becomes even more personal, clearer, and safer than ever before.

“The interest in LoveID and tickets has truly surprised us – the sales pace and fan reactions to the new ticketing system have exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased that people have quickly embraced LoveID and see it as a step in the right direction. It confirms to us that the fans of Beats for Love are open to innovations and appreciate it when we make their path to their festival experience easier,” says Andrea Elízová, marketing director of Beats for Love.

The world of Beats for Love Universe will come alive again and transform the Lower Vítkovice in Ostrava into a unique festival city full of music, lights, and emotions. Visitors can look forward to the next chapter of Beats for Love Universe - with new stage concepts, original visual installations, and a range of surprises that will further enhance the atmosphere of the largest dance festival in the heart of Europe. “This year we are preparing not only the return of popular zones but also completely new experiences and technological innovations that will elevate visitor comfort to the next level.
