Chase & Status will once again dominate the festival
Chase & Status are a British production duo that collects award after award and redefines the perception of drum & bass across continents. More than 20 years have passed since they met at university in Manchester, and although they achieved their first commercial success at the turn of the first and second decades of the 21st century, they are currently experiencing the peak of their career. Key milestones in their career include the revival of jungle influences in modern drum & bass and regular collaborations with leading UK vocalists MCs, often combining the genres of drum & bass and grime. With singles like Baddadan (featuring IRAH, Flowdan, Takura, and Trigga), Disconnect (featuring Becky Hill), or the most recent Backbone (featuring Stormzy), they have amassed over half a billion streams on streaming services and have also penetrated radio broadcasts worldwide. Currently, more than 5 million people listen to their music monthly. These successes have solidified their status as the most sought-after name in the genre. They are returning to Let It Roll after 3 years and last performed in the Czech Republic under the open sky in 2024.
The return of the Factory stage to the festival lineup
A significant role in the program will be played by the return of the popular Factory stage. In 2026, it will focus on neurofunk in a big way. The main highlight of the program will be the celebration of 15 years of the Eatbrain label, featuring artists such as Agressor Bunx b2b MNDSCP, Burr Oak b2b Redpill, Jade Venom b2b Teddy Killerz, and more. However, the Factory Stage will offer much more - its dramaturgy will be built on energetic b2b sets and names that have long been at the top of the genre, such as Black Sun Empire, DRKNET (Mel b2b Enta), VIRUS TRINITY (Audio b2b Ed Rush b2b Optical), Tanukichi b2b B-Complex, Pythius b2b Merikan, The Neuroheadz, or Zardonic. It will provide a program focused on intensity, dynamics, and unique combinations.
Premieres of label nights MODUS and Monstercat and other celebrations
Another significant novelty is the festival premiere of MODUS night, the label night of this Austrian record label. MODUS brings modern, technically precise sound across sub-genres of drum & bass, from danceable styles to hard-hitting moments. The program of this night will feature names such as Secula, Lukher, RageMode, Annix b2b Fade Black, Calyx b2b The Upbeats, Break.
For the first time in the festival's history, Monstercat night will also be presented, offering an eclectic mix of drum & bass, dubstep, and other electronic styles. Emphasizing modern sound design and unrestrained dance energy, artists such as Yussi, Gentlemens Club, ÆON:MODE, Dirtyphonics, Rusko, NGHTMRE, MUZZ, Reaper, or Gladde Paling will expand the genre diversity of the program.
In addition to the aforementioned celebrations of 15 years of the Eatbrain label at Let It Roll, other brands will also celebrate their anniversaries. The legendary project Drum&Bass Arena will take over one evening with names like LTJ Bukem, S.P.Y, or Technimatic to mark its 30th anniversary. The label Flexout Audio will also celebrate 15 years on the scene, joining forces with another British label, Overview Music, to offer many unconventional combinations in performances such as Klinical b2b Wingz, Koherent b2b Molecular, or Amoss b2b QZB.
And there's much more...
This year's edition will also include a special MCs Night, which will provide space for MCs outside the traditional role of accompanying DJ sets and highlight their own creations. Artists such as Grammy Award winner Flowdan, as well as Catching Cairo, Duskee, Elipsa, Eva Lazarus, flowanastasia & Tyr Kohout, Gardna, and special shows from DRS: In Session (feat. Dogger) and This Is Inja will perform. The second phase of the lineup also strengthens the program of the main stage, where the most prominent moments of the festival traditionally concentrate and grand audiovisual shows take place.
Let It Roll 2026 thus confirms its position at the world top with each new announcement and creates a program that brings together the biggest names in the scene, themed nights, and exclusive formats. For more information, follow the festival's social networks or visit the website letitroll.cz.
