After the most successful winter edition of the festival in history, we continue to unveil the summer festival programme. The most prominent name of the new phase of announcements is Chase & Status, icons of the British bass scene, whose performance will be one of the absolute highlights of the upcoming edition. Their return to Let It Roll underlines the direction of this year’s lineup, which builds on world-class names, exclusive formats and strong thematic concepts, with the ambition to become the strongest edition in the festival’s history.
Chase & Status dominate the festival again
Chase & Status are a British production duo who have been picking up award after award and redefining the perception of drum & bass across continents. It’s been over 20 years since they met at Manchester University, and although they achieved their first commercial success at the turn of the first and second decades of the 21st century, they are at the peak of their career now. Key milestones in their career include the revival of the jungle influenced trend in modern drum & bass, as well as regular collaborations with leading UK vocalist MCs, most often fusing the genres of drum & bass and grime. With singles such as Baddadan (in collaboration with IRAH, Flowdan, Takura and Trigga), Disconnect (in collaboration with Becky Hill) and most recently Backbone (in collaboration with Stormzy), they’ve racked up over half a billion plays on streaming services and have made their way onto radio airwaves around the world. Their music is currently listened to by more than 5 million people a month. These successes have cemented their status as the genre’s most in-demand name. They are returning to Let It Roll after 3 years and last performed in the Czech Republic in 2024.
The return of the Factory Stage to the festival stages
The return of the popular Factory Stage will play a significant role in the programme. The latter will focus on neurofunk in a big way in 2026. A highlight of the programme will be a celebration of 15 years of the Eatbrain label, featuring Agressor Bunx b2b MNDSCP, Burr Oak b2b Redpill, Jade Venom b2b Teddy Killerz and more. But Factory Stage will offer much more – its dramaturgy will be based on energetic b2b sets and names that have long been among the top of the genre, such as Black Sun Empire, DRKNET (Mel b2b Enta), VIRUS TRINITY (Audio b2b Ed Rush b2b Optical), Tanukichi b2b B-Complex, Pythius b2b Merikan, The Neuroheadz and Zardonic. It will thus offer a program focused on intensity, dynamics and unique combinations.
Premieres of MODUS and Monstercat label nights and other celebrations
Another major news is the festival premiere of MODUS night, the label night of this Austrian label. MODUS brings a modern, technically precise sound across the subgenres of drum & bass, from danceable positions to harder moments. Names like Secula, Lukher, RageMode, Annix b2b Fade Black, Calyx b2b The Upbeats, Break will round out the night’s program.
For the first time in the festival’s history, Monstercat night will also present an eclectic mix of drum & bass, dubstep and other electronic styles. With an emphasis on modern sound design and unbridled dance energy, Let It Roll will bring artists such as Yussi, Gentlemens Club, ÆON:MODE, Dirtyphonics, Rusko, NGHTMRE, MUZZ, Reaper and Gladde Paling to expand the genre diversity of the programme.
In addition to the aforementioned celebration of 15 years of the Eatbrain label, other labels will also celebrate their anniversaries at Let It Roll. The legendary Drum&Bass Arena project will take the reins for one evening with names like LTJ Bukem, S.P.Y and Technimatic to mark 30 years of existence. 15 years on the scene will also be celebrated by Flexout Audio, who will join forces with another UK label Overview Music and offer plenty of unusual combinations in the form of acts like Klinical b2b Wingz, Koherent b2b Molecular and Amoss b2b QZB.
And much more…
This year’s edition will also include a special MCs Night, which will offer a space for MCs outside of their traditional role of accompanying DJ sets and give them a chance to showcase their own work. Grammy award winner Flowdan will perform, as well as Catching Cairo, Duskee, Elipsa, Eva Lazarus, flowanastasia & Tyr Kohout, Gardna, and DRS: In Session (feat. Dogger) and This Is Inja will also offer their special shows. The second phase of the lineup also strengthens the programme of the main stage, where the festival’s highlights are traditionally concentrated and spectacular audiovisual shows take place.
