A concert-like event to kick-off the festival’s return to its NDSM Docklands home base, Friday’s DGTL Opening Night will see a very special live set from headliner Monolink, followed by an extended back-to-back session by Âme & Dixon. This newest addition to the AMS edition, which has grown organically from DGTL’s existing and world-renowned LIVE Stage, will not surprise DGTL fans who are already familiar with the event organizers ever-increasing focus on live acts.
Laurent Garnier, the legendary DJ, producer, and all-around pioneer, will headline the bill on Saturday. Folamour, a fellow Frenchman and one of the most important young artists to emerge from house and disco, will be joining him on the main stage. Supporting both is a raft of exciting newcomers to the DGTL line-up: high-energy dance disciple India Jordan; the UK’s Jaguar, who not only slays in the DJ booth but is renowned for unearthing fresh new talent across the spectrum of diversity and inclusivity; and TSHA, championed by Jaguar and one of the most exciting female electronic music talents to come out of the UK.
On Sunday, the lineup maintains its high level of quality. Paul Kalkbrenner headlines with a very special live performance, John Talabot and Mano le Tough deliver a much-anticipated back-to-back, and universally-loved Dutch artist Job Jobse closes the Modular stage in his signature spectacular style for the first time in his DGTL career. On Sunday, DGTL also proudly presents new live shows by Overmono, an electronic duo, and Sofia Kourtesis, a Berlin-based house DJ and producer. Fans of rising stars should keep an eye out for Manchester-based DJ and producer Anz, who is known for her versatile take on contemporary UK club music.
