APEX announces the full line-up of its biggest edition to date

The most important hardstyle indoor event of Germany announces their 2026 edition with 2 stages and +25 international DJs, including some exclusive acts.

Next year, it’s time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the most iconic promoters in the hardstyle scene. Musical Madness has been building a legacy in the harder styles scene in Germany for two decades, and, because of that, they want to celebrate in style.

This is why their peak event, APEX, will host its most significant and special edition to date. This festival, which takes place in Maimarkthalle in Mannheim (just one hour away from Frankfurt), has been leading the indoor season in Germany for the past years, being one of the most important hardstyle events of the year.

The Elite, Ran-D pres. ‘Resonance’ LIVE, Sub Zero Project B2B Rebelion and more!

In 2026, they return to the same venue on February 7, featuring a new addition: a second stage. This enhancement makes the event even more attractive, allowing for the attendance of many more new DJs and introducing some new styles to the lineup. At APEX, you will find the full spectrum of the harder styles: from classics to uptempo, from euphoric hardstyle to xtra-raw, and everything in between.

The most special addition to the lineup is The Elite, a formation composed of Coone, Da Tweekaz, and Hard Driver, who will showcase and fuse their musical DNA into a very interesting journey through sound. Ran-D will also perform his special live act called ‘Resonance’ and there will be plenty of unique back-to-backs at APEX 2026. The Elite & Ran D’s Resonance will both be showcased for the very first time in Germany.
