Final names for Northern Winter Beat 2026 – the lineup is complete
We’re closing the circle with two final additions — each bringing their own edge to the winter darkness:
Daufødt (NO) – a volatile force from Norway’s punk vanguard, twisting noise, drone and chaos into something raw, fast, and frost-cut sharp. Fresh off their 2024 album Glitter, they return to Aalborg with one of the most intense live shows our sister country can offer. They bring their high-voltage chaos to Friday’s lineup.
Swoolish (NL) – our beloved resident selector, marking his twelfth year at Northern Winter Beat. From cool jazz and Bossa Nova to boogie, northern soul and r’n’b, he sets the tone for the festival’s warmest late-night gatherings. Catch him spinning on his living-room setup Friday and Saturday.
With these final artists, the program for Northern Winter Beat 2026 is now complete.
The full schedule — including set times and venues — will be revealed in mid-January.
Join us for three nights where sound, texture, and emotion collide between February 5–7.
