There’s just one motto: to make the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center shake like never before on October 30 and 31. The timing couldn’t be better: it’s Halloween, and Dream Nation intends to seize the occasion. For thirteen years, the festival has established itself as the premier electronic music event of the Parisian fall for night owls who want to celebrate Halloween in style. For its 13th edition,on October 30 and 31, 2026, Dream Nation returns to theParc des Expositions Paris Nord Villepintewith a dizzying XXL lineup: six stages, more than sixty artists, and some40,000 festivalgoersexpected over two nights.
Thirteen Years of Dream Nation
You don’t become Europe’s biggest Halloween party by accident. Dream Nation has built its empire in warehouses, one edition after another, refusing to choose between genres: Electro, Techno, Acid Techno, Bass Music, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Trance, Psytrance, Hard Techno, Rave Music, Hardstyle, Hardcore… They’re all represented here!
For this13th edition, following a September event in 2025, Dream Nation returns to its usual slot: Halloween weekend. And when the Paris Nord Exhibition Center transforms into a fully staged parallel universe (featuring pyrotechnics, laser shows, and video mapping), the effect is monumental.
Six stages and just as many worlds to explore
Dream Nation’s strength lies in its refusal to limit itself to a single genre. The six stages serve as gateways to radically different musical styles, and it’s not uncommon to go from trance to hard techno in the blink of an eye.

The Ultimate Halloween
What sets Dream Nation apart from a simple giant club night is its stage design. Every year, the production team invests in an XXL artistic vision: monumental sets, pyrotechnic effects synchronized to the music, visual projections, giant screens… All set against an exuberant Halloween backdrop: baroque costumes, eerie makeup, and creepy atmospheres…
Please note: the lineup isn’t complete yet. Surprise artists are on the way, and the organizers have a tradition of revealing their final acts late. All the more reason not to wait to buy tickets: super early-bird prices are selling out at the speed of light.
