Upclose is a space dedicated to pure dance floor culture: intimate, high-intensity, and built on the connection between artist and crowd. It was created as a response to the need for something more focused: less distraction, more depth.
Now in its third edition, the festival continues to refine that vision. The 2026 line-up brings together rare collaborations, live performances, and deep-cut selections that honour the long arc of techno. From global pioneers to strong local voices, the program values craft, progression, and musical freedom.
Upclose 2026 is not here to please, it’s here to provoke. It is for the thrillseekers, the late-stayers, the ones who dance with their eyes closed.
It is for you.
