Korsakov Weekender Returns to Rotterdam for Monumental 10th Anniversary
Korsakov Weekender celebrates its 10th anniversary in Rotterdam’s Maassilo this January, with Wilkinson, Hedex, Bou, Camo & Krooked b2b Mefjus, Friction, A.M.C and more.
Korsakov Weekender celebrates its 10th anniversary this winter, returning to Rotterdam’s industrial rave haven Maassilo on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 January 2026. Over two nights, more than 10,000 fans are expected to descend on the Netherlands for what promises to be the festival’s most ambitious edition yet.
The line-up spans the full spectrum of drum and bass, with headline sets from Wilkinson, Hedex, Bou & B Live 247, Camo & Krooked b2b Mefjus, Friction, A.M.C, Serum, Harriet Jaxxon, [IVY], and Rotterdam’s own Black Sun Empire. They are joined by rising forces Simula, Sota and Youphoria, alongside more than 70 artists across multiple stages.
The anniversary edition will also see takeovers from some of the most respected imprints in the scene. Critical Soundsystem, Bad Habitz, Eatbrain, Evolution Chamber, High Tea, Souped Up, and the legendary Virus Recordings are all set to host stages, each bringing their own identity to the Maassilo floors.
Speaking ahead of the event, Korsakov CEO Sami Dmitrovic said: “We have been working hard behind the scenes on what is shaping up to be our biggest line-up yet, covering the full spectrum of drum and bass and reflecting everything we love about this culture. Maassilo has always been a special place for us; it is where some of our most important moments happened. Coming back here for the 10-year anniversary feels right and we are making sure it delivers on every level.”
Maassilo itself has become synonymous with Korsakov’s identity. A converted grain silo with cavernous rooms and a raw industrial aesthetic, it has hosted many of the brand’s defining moments over the past decade. For the 10th Anniversary Weekender, organisers promise high-spec production, bespoke stage design, and a sound system built to handle the festival’s trademark energy.
With its central location and strong transport connections, Rotterdam offers easy access for international fans. High-speed trains link the city to Amsterdam in under an hour, while Eurostar and direct flights from the UK provide quick and affordable routes. Accommodation options from budget hostels to boutique hotels are plentiful around the venue, making the trip accessible for fans from across Europe.
Since its inception, Korsakov has grown from a grassroots Dutch movement into one of the continent’s most respected independent drum and bass brands. Known for its inclusive energy, loyal following, and uncompromising approach to curation, the Weekender has become a highlight on the European festival calendar. Its 10th anniversary is set to mark a milestone moment in the brand’s story, bringing together the global drum and bass community under one roof.
The Korsakov Weekender 10-Year Anniversary Edition takes place on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 January 2026 at Maassilo, Rotterdam. Weekend tickets start at €70, with day passes available for €40. For full details and tickets, visit the official ticket page.
