One of the most prominent projects will be 4444 OF A KIND, a new hardstyle formation combining D-Block & S-te-Fan and Sub Zero Project. Four significant names from the current hardstyle scene will appear on one stage in an exclusive joint show that promises a massive dose of energy, euphoric melodies, and hard drops.
A strong audiovisual experience will also be brought by Andromedik. The Belgian producer and DJ will present his new show Ascension at Beats for Love 2026, which will have its Czech premiere at the festival. The combination of his melodic drum & bass sound with a new visual concept ranks this performance among the most prominent items of this year's Beats for Love Special.
Special collaborations will also be offered by Katy B & Ms Dynamite. The British icons of bass music and UK garage will appear together on one stage at Beats for Love for the very first time. Their performance will connect club energy, iconic vocals, and the legacy of the British scene, which has significantly influenced the shape of contemporary electronic music.
The Beats for Love Special concept will also include Shadow League, a project connecting Black Sun Empire and Virus Syndicate. The result is a unique combination of dark neurofunk, drum & bass, and rap vocals that blurs the boundaries between genres and brings a distinctly raw form of live festival experience.
One of the most exclusive highlights of the program will also be Deep Dish. The legendary duo Sharam and Dubfire will arrive at Beats for Love 2026 with a special techno set prepared exclusively for the festival. Although Deep Dish has long been associated primarily with house and progressive sounds, they will present a darker and more intense side of their work in Ostrava. This will be their only techno set in the world, created specifically for Beats for Love.
Seven Lions will perform at Beats for Love for the very first time in the Czech Republic. The American producer known for blending dubstep, trance, and atmospheric electronics will bring his Czech premiere to the Beats for Love Special.
A significant moment will also be the collaboration of Cristian Varela and Marco Bailey. Two respected figures from the global techno scene will present a special b2b set at Beats for Love 2026, played from six players, focusing on precise transitions, live layering of tracks, and an intense hypnotic atmosphere. In Ostrava, genuine, uncompromising techno will resonate in its purest form.
Padre Guilherme also deserves special attention. The Portuguese priest and DJ brings unexpected connections of techno, house, and strong spiritual atmosphere to the stage. This is not part of the Beats for Love Special concept, but definitely one of the most interesting moments of this year's edition – a performance that can surprise, captivate, and open up a completely different dimension of the festival experience.
Beats for Love Special in 2026 will show that the festival program can offer more than usual. It will bring unique collaborations, premieres, and shows created for a specific place, specific audience, and specific moment. And for that reason, these will be experiences you cannot afford to miss.
