After careful deliberation, the jury proudly announces the five DJs selected for the finals of the Student DJ Contest 2026.
These talented finalists are vying for the ultimate prize: a coveted spot on the Sena Performers Stage lineup during the Liberation Festival in The Hague — including an official artist fee.
But the story doesn’t end there.
The Student DJ Contest is about more than just winning. It’s about celebrating new talent, connecting creative communities, and sharing the energy that only music can bring.
Opportunities remain for those not selected for the final: additional DJs will be chosen to perform on the festival’s vibrant Student Area Stage — traditionally one of the most energetic and well-attended stages at the event.
We cordially invite everyone—students, music lovers, clubbers, and supporters of emerging talent—to join us on Monday, March 2, 2026, for an unforgettable evening of music and competition. This is your chance to see the next generation of DJs live on stage.
The jury, consisting of programmers from leading clubs and festivals, is genuinely looking forward to discovering and meeting new talent.
The atmosphere will be open, energetic and accessible to everyone.
Whether you’re coming to support a friend, discover new artists, or just enjoy good music in a lively setting — you’re very welcome.
