Paradise City Electronic Music Festival Belgium 2027

What to expect in 2027

Paradise City Festival 2027 returns to the castle gardens of Kasteel Ribaucourt in Perk, Steenokkerzeel, Belgium, from 2–4 July 2027. The festival is built around electronic music, immersive stage design, nature, food, sustainability and a carefully curated atmosphere rather than a conventional large-scale festival setting. The official website has already confirmed the 2027 dates and is inviting visitors to subscribe for early access to the 2027 ticket presale.

The 2027 artistic programme has not yet been announced. Paradise City traditionally reveals its artists in stages, with the first names appearing months before the festival and the complete programme following later. For 2026, the festival presented more than 100 acts across seven stages, combining established electronic artists, underground selectors, live electronic projects and Belgian talent. The 2027 programme is therefore expected to follow the festival’s established multi-stage format, but individual artists and performance times should not be treated as confirmed until published officially.

Visitors can expect a weekend combining house, techno, electro, disco, breaks, UK-influenced club music, trance, bass and experimental electronic sounds. The setting around the castle and its gardens remains an important part of the experience, with stages positioned among greenery, water and landscaped areas.

Paradise City also places strong emphasis on sustainability, greener transportation, plant-based food, reusable systems and responsible festival behaviour. Its mobility strategy encourages train travel, shuttles, cycling and carpooling, while the festival operates as a cashless event using electronic wristbands.

Event dates

Paradise City Festival 2027 will take place from Friday, 2 July through Sunday, 4 July 2027.

The official festival website confirms the dates as 2, 3 and 4 July 2027 and lists the festival address as Kasteelhoekstraat 1, Steenokkerzeel, Belgium. Detailed 2027 opening hours have not yet been published. The 2026 edition operated from midday into the night, with Sunday ending earlier than Friday and Saturday.

Visitors planning their trip should check the official programme and festival app closer to the event because stage schedules, opening times and transport arrangements can change.

Venue & festival site

Paradise City takes place at Kasteel Ribaucourt, a historic castle estate in Perk, part of the municipality of Steenokkerzeel in Flemish Brabant.

Festival address: Kasteelhoekstraat 1, Steenokkerzeel, Belgium.

The castle gardens provide the setting for a combination of electronic music stages, landscaped areas, food courts, bars, relaxation spaces and festival installations. The site is deliberately designed around the surrounding natural environment rather than functioning like a traditional paved exhibition ground.

The 2026 edition used seven stages, including the Castle Stage and Forest Stage, with additional spaces dedicated to different electronic styles and emerging artists. Paradise City’s Innerbloom comfort area was positioned close to the Castle Stage, providing a quieter environment with seating, food, drinks and covered areas.

The exact 2027 site map has not yet been released, so the final stage locations and names should be checked when the festival publishes its updated map.

Full lineup

The full Paradise City Festival 2027 lineup has not yet been announced by the organisers.

Paradise City normally builds its lineup progressively, beginning with an initial group of artists before revealing additional names and eventually publishing the full programme. The official artist directory currently does not provide a confirmed 2027 lineup.

As a reference, the 2026 edition featured more than 100 performers. The official announcements included artists such as Richie Hawtin, Modeselektor, Floating Points, Job Jobse, Palms Trax, DJ HEARTSTRING, Interplanetary Criminal, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Marlon Hoffstadt, Weval, Cassius, Mall Grab, Robag Wruhme, DJ Bone, Saoirse, SHERELLE, Steffi & Virginia and many others.

The 2026 programme also included live performances and collaborative projects, including Cassius live A/V, Weval live, Mind Enterprises, Stavroz, Anthony Rother’s DATAPUNK project and other electronic live acts.

These names should be regarded as previous-edition information only and not as confirmed performers for 2027.

Headliners & featured artists

Paradise City has not announced its 2027 headliners yet.

The festival’s previous booking strategy has combined influential electronic music figures with contemporary club artists and emerging Belgian talent. In 2026, Richie Hawtin, Floating Points, Modeselektor, Palms Trax, DJ HEARTSTRING, Marlon Hoffstadt and Job Jobse were among the prominent names highlighted by the festival.

Richie Hawtin represented the techno side of the programme, while Floating Points brought a broader electronic and experimental approach. Palms Trax was associated with the Forest Stage, and Job Jobse returned to the same stage following a memorable previous appearance.

For 2027, the final headliners and featured artists should be confirmed through Paradise City’s official lineup announcements rather than inferred from previous years.

Stages & performance areas

The 2027 stage plan has not yet been published, but the 2026 festival operated with seven stages.

Castle Stage: The central castle-area stage has hosted major electronic artists and high-energy performances, including Richie Hawtin, Robag Wruhme, DJ HEARTSTRING and other prominent names in 2026.

Forest Stage: This stage has traditionally provided a more immersive setting among the trees and hosted artists such as Job Jobse and Palms Trax.

Contrast Stage: The stage has been used for harder and more energetic club sounds, including artists from the contemporary hard-dance scene.

Barefoot Stage: Introduced as a newer concept, the Barefoot Stage returned in 2026 with a larger presence and its own curated programme.

Additional stages and performance spaces have provided room for live electronic music, underground selectors, local artists and different musical styles.

The precise 2027 stage names and locations remain subject to the official site map.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The complete 2027 stage-by-stage schedule has not yet been announced.

Paradise City generally releases its timetable closer to the festival, allowing visitors to see which artists are performing on each stage and when. In 2026, the organisers encouraged visitors to use the official festival app to access the complete timetable rather than publishing every set time through social media.

A typical Paradise City programme progresses from afternoon sessions into evening performances and later-night club sets. Different stages operate simultaneously, allowing visitors to move between musical styles throughout the day.

The final 2027 schedule should be checked through the official website and festival app once released.

Set times

Set times for Paradise City Festival 2027 have not yet been announced.

Based on previous editions, the festival programme is divided throughout the afternoon and evening, with several artists performing simultaneously across different stages. This allows visitors to build their own itinerary around favourite artists while also discovering new acts.

The official app is expected to become the most useful source for the final 2027 timetable. Visitors should check it shortly before arrival because performance times can change because of production requirements, artist availability or safety considerations.

Ticket types

Paradise City has not yet published the final 2027 ticket prices. The official website is currently promoting early access to 2027 tickets through its subscription system.

The festival normally sells tickets through different sales waves. Paradise City’s ticket system begins with limited Green Card presale tickets, followed by Early Bird, Regular and Final Wave tickets. Prices increase as earlier ticket allocations sell out.

Previous-edition pricing can be used as a planning reference:

• Friday day ticket: approximately $111.15 based on a previous €95 ticket.
• Saturday day ticket: approximately $127.53 based on a previous €109 ticket.
• Sunday day ticket: approximately $115.83 based on a previous €99 ticket.
• 3-day festival ticket: approximately $291.33 based on a previous €249 ticket.
• 3-day ticket with camping: approximately $361.53 based on a previous €309 ticket.

These are previous-edition reference prices, not confirmed 2027 prices.

Ticket availability can change rapidly. In 2026, the three-day tickets, camping tickets and Saturday tickets sold out shortly after sales opened.

VIP & premium options

The main premium hospitality experience previously offered by Paradise City was Innerbloom, a dedicated Comfort Zone close to the Castle Stage.

Innerbloom: The experience included festival admission, a separate comfort entrance, closer comfort parking, access to the shaded Innerbloom area, seating, an open bar serving beer, wine and soft drinks, and a food buffet developed around seasonal ingredients.

Previous 2026 reference prices were approximately $380.25 for Friday Innerbloom, $391.95 for Saturday Innerbloom and $380.25 for Sunday Innerbloom, based on published previous-edition prices of €325, €335 and €325 respectively.

The availability, benefits and pricing of Innerbloom or any equivalent premium experience for 2027 have not yet been announced.

Event rules

Paradise City operates with a strong emphasis on safety, respect and environmental responsibility.

Identification: Visitors should bring valid identification. The festival’s previous rules stated that no ID means no entry.

Cashless system: Purchases are handled through electronic festival wristbands. Cash is not used directly at festival bars and food outlets.

Prohibited items: Weapons, knives, glass, spray cans, fireworks and similar dangerous items are prohibited.

Drugs: Paradise City operates a zero-tolerance drug policy and carries out security checks at entry.

Alcohol: Visitors cannot bring their own alcohol onto the festival grounds. Alcohol is available through official bars.

Respect: Violence, intimidation, discrimination, sexual intimidation, theft and deliberate damage are not tolerated. Visitors are expected to follow instructions from security staff, first aid personnel and emergency services.

How to get there

Paradise City is located in Perk, Steenokkerzeel, close to Brussels and Brussels Airport.

The festival strongly encourages visitors to use public transport, bicycles, shared rides and other lower-emission travel options.

By air: Brussels Airport in Zaventem is the nearest major airport. From the airport, visitors can take a train towards Vilvoorde and then use the festival shuttle service.

By car: Drivers should follow festival parking signs around Perk rather than attempting to park close to the castle.

By bicycle: Dedicated secured bicycle parking is provided close to the entrance, and the festival recommends following cycling routes through the official Belgian cycling network.

Public transport & parking

Vilvoorde is the closest major railway station for Paradise City. From Vilvoorde, festival shuttle buses connect visitors with the festival site.

Previous festival transport arrangements included free shuttle services operating between Vilvoorde Station and the festival. Special night trains have also connected Vilvoorde with Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and other Belgian destinations after the festival.

Local De Lijn buses serving Perk include routes 25, 28, 292 and 293, with the Kerk Perk stop providing access to the village.

For 2026, previous online parking reference prices were approximately $29.25 for a single day and $46.80 for a weekend, based on published prices of €25 and €40. On-site prices were higher. 2027 parking prices have not yet been announced.

Accommodation areas

Paradise City operates its own campsite close to the festival grounds.

Previous camping options included Bring Your Own Tent, pre-set tents and campervan spaces. Camping tickets are separate from certain accommodation products, so visitors need to check whether their selected accommodation includes festival admission.

The campsite has previously included hot showers, toilets, free breakfast, drinking-water facilities, chill areas and morning activities. Camping visitors also use the festival’s cashless wristband system.

For visitors staying outside the campsite, accommodation can be considered in Steenokkerzeel, Perk, Vilvoorde, Mechelen, Leuven or Brussels. Staying near Vilvoorde is particularly practical for visitors planning to use the festival’s train and shuttle system.

Food & drink

Paradise City has developed a food programme focused entirely on plant-based food.

The 2026 festival featured more than 19 food trucks distributed across three food courts, with meals designed around plant-based ingredients. Visitors could also find drinks at several bars throughout the site.

Visitors are not permitted to bring their own food and drinks into the festival area. Free drinking water is available from fountains and water points, making a suitable empty reusable bottle useful when entering the site.

The festival also uses reusable cups and plates, with dedicated return points around food courts and bars.

Innerbloom provides a separate premium food experience, including a buffet and drinks service in a shaded hospitality environment.

Accessibility

Paradise City provides accessibility measures, although the organisers state that they cannot guarantee that navigating the entire festival grounds in a wheelchair will always be easy.

The natural festival terrain can become difficult after heavy rain because some areas are not paved. Dedicated access points and wheelchair facilities have been provided at several stages, and previous editions included elevated viewing platforms.

Visitors requiring specific assistance should contact the festival team at info@paradisecity.be before attending.

The festival also provides a Healing Zone and trained Angels of Paradise volunteers who can assist visitors experiencing harassment, distress or other problems during the event.

Best days to attend

Friday, Saturday and Sunday each provide a different way to experience Paradise City, but the best choice depends on the artists and stage programme that will eventually be announced for 2027.

Friday: Often provides an energetic opening to the weekend, with the first major programme of artists and the opportunity to settle into the festival environment.

Saturday: Traditionally forms one of the busiest days, with a dense programme of electronic artists across multiple stages.

Sunday: Provides the final day and usually features a mixture of daytime sessions and a closing programme before the festival ends.

A three-day ticket is useful for visitors who want to experience the full musical programme because Paradise City’s simultaneous stages make it impossible to see every artist during a single day.

Previous year’s highlights

The 2026 edition was Paradise City’s 10th anniversary festival and sold out completely. The programme included more than 100 acts spread across seven stages, with a mixture of international electronic artists, live projects and Belgian talent.

Artists highlighted during the 2026 campaign included Richie Hawtin, Modeselektor, Floating Points, Job Jobse, Palms Trax, DJ HEARTSTRING, Marlon Hoffstadt, Mall Grab, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig and many others.

One significant event occurred during the 2026 festival when a severe storm warning led to the festival grounds being closed early on Saturday evening. Several artists, including Benwal, were unable to complete their scheduled performances. The organisers later arranged a free open-air event in Brussels featuring Benwal, Alycia Bezgo, Conducta, Ava Eva and shoplifter as a follow-up for affected ticket holders and the public.

The 2026 edition also continued Paradise City’s focus on sustainability, plant-based food, greener transportation and safer festival practices.

Official tickets

The official Paradise City website is the primary source for 2027 ticket releases, prices, ticket waves, camping options and premium experiences.

The organisers are currently collecting subscriptions for early access to 2027 tickets. Joining the official mailing list is therefore useful for visitors who want to know when the first ticket allocation becomes available.

Official Paradise City Festival website and 2027 ticket information (https://www.paradisecity.be/)

Visitors should avoid relying on unofficial resale offers and should check ticket validity and transfer rules before purchasing. Paradise City’s previous FAQ specifically directed ticket resales through its official Ticketswap channel rather than social-media listings.
