The big family of electronic music is back together. The Dream Nation festival has established itself over the years as THE Electro event not to be missed. The festival will open its doors on 16 and 17 September 2022 in the emblematic aerospace spot of the Parc des Expositions Paris-Le Bourget, for a ninth edition of a Dantesque nature.
The complete line up of the festival has just been revealed: once again, Dream Nation has seen things through with an ever more exceptional and audacious line-up! This year, some sixty artists, including legends, headliners and revelations – some of whom are very rare in France – will take turns behind the decks to transport the souls of “dreamers” into new dimensions.
Dream Nation relies on the eclecticism and mix of its line-up to bring together all the styles of the electronic nation: Electro, Techno, Trance, Bass Music, Hard Music. Each stage has its own theme, such is the successful secret of the Dream Nation Festival.
FRIDAY 16 SEPTEMBER 2022.
On Friday 16 September, a Techno and Hard Music session will open the celebration. A first round where heavyweights, precursors and emerging talents will compete until the end of the night, making hearts beat to the rhythm of BPMs.
The Techno stage promises to be intense in emotion! Starting with the boss of electro-mutant, Vitalic, who will introduce his live show specially designed for the occasion: “Dissidænt Nation”! The artist will be conquering the harder territories of raw techno, in the form of a true homage to the dancefloor without concession. This stage will bring together other big names: the masked high priest I Hate Models and the young Berlin prodigy Kobosil will incense the dancefloor with dark and ecstatic techno. Alongside them, French rave legend Manu le Malin, the eccentric Louisahhh and Maud Geffray will deliver a ferocious techno-punk energy.
The Hard Music stage will also be marked by exclusive and unreleased duets from world-class acts with wild energy! The undisputed master of the hardcore genre, Angerfist, and the iconic hardstyle duos Sub Zero Project, Rebelion or the rawstyle lord Sickmode, will unleash the crowds with their atomic shows. Hardcore heavyweights Art Of Fighters and Andy The Core will face off in a powerful duel, as will the two geniuses Deadly Guns and Dither. The Tribecore movement will be represented by French figures Darktek and Protokseed, and uptempo by the evil masked hero The Satan.
The Raw collective, the vanguard of a new scene in search of sonic experimentation, will take control of the third stage, with a line-up made up of Acid Techno and Industrial headliners and discoveries : the emblematic queen of the night Rebekah, the Italian anti-conformist Raffaele Attanasio, alongside the agitators of Parisian nights, Under Black Helmet, Mayeul, Pavel K, Félicie or David Asko.
SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER 2022.
After this furious warm-up, the Festival will come up again on Saturday 17 September in a whirlwind of Trance, Bass Music, Techno or Hard Music, for a second round that will go down in history.
The Trance stage will transcend the crowds for a true cosmic journey with the most influential artists of the moment: the legend par excellence of psytrance Astrix, the true icon of the future prog genre Mandragora or the unmissable Blastoyz, will follow one another on the turntables for an excursion with bewitching melodies and hypnotic bass. These titans will be joined by the spearheads of progressive trance Omiki and Ranji, or the master of French-style Goa Talamasca. Also present will be the free electron Gonzi and the electro-dub virtuoso Rakoon for high-flying live shows. A guaranteed fireworks display for bodies and minds !
The Bass Music arena will bring together several behemoths, headed by the most emblematic Drum’n’Bass figure of all time, Pendulum, alongside the best Dubstep producers such as mainstay Modestep and his crossover style blending raging rock guitars with Dubstep’s cracking rhythms, avant-garde pioneer Kill The Noise and masked monster Funtcase. Other major players of a whole Bass Music generation, the Americans Herobust and Midnight Tyrannosaurus will make one of their rare appearances in France ! Drum’n’Bass fans will not be left out with the titanic duo Delta Heavy, the eminent representative of Neurofunk Emperor, and the fearsome duo Annix & Simula.
The turbulent Casual Gabberz crew will take control of the third stage with a lightning and evolving program, to make a sharp techno roar up to gabber. The line-up is a choice one, featuring techno-punk diva Rebeka Warrior, the mysterious Scottish duo Clouds, the phenomenon Somniac One and the nugget Aamourocean. To complete this dancefloor exaltation, two pillars of Dutch hard music, N-Vitral and Ophidian, will close this weekend in style !
