D-Congress Festival

2026, we’re taking the grand finale of D-Congress to a whole new level. After years of gala dinners featuring artists like Seinabo Sey, Familjen, Johnossi, and Daniela Rathana – we now introduce: D-Congress Festival.

D-Congress Festival is the cultural and emotional culmination of D-Congress – a curated celebration of rhythm, movement, and Nordic lights. After two days of innovation and inspiration, the festival transforms D-Congress and Svenska Mässan into a multi-stage music experience where live acts club culture, and the creative energy of the North light up the night.

Included in your D-Congress ticket, this new experience is more than an ending – it’s a transformation. (Limited availability – included for the first 2,500 attendees).

→ It’s not an afterparty.
→ It’s not a gala.
→ It’s a festival for minds that move.

D-Congress Festival 2026 – because transformation deserves a celebration.

Two stages – one unforgettable night

Core Stage

The main stage in the heart of the congress hall. Expect a full-scale festival setup with lighting, bars and food stations. The pulse builds across standout live acts, connected by seamless DJ sets and immersive visuals. From emotional electronica to euphoric pop, Core is where the energy ignites, and the night takes off.

Node Stage

A more intimate and immersive space, blending live performances with curated DJ sets in a low-lit, lounge-inspired environment. Node Stage is where experimental soul meets ambient rhythms – a place for stillness, depth, and discovery. From stripped-down sets to lo-fi beats, this is the festival’s emotional heartbeat and creative meeting point.
