Closing Festival XXL

For the XXL Festival closing, Maddix takes the helm at L’Arena in Toulouse on May 22, 2026. The Dutch DJ and producer has forged a direct sound that moves between big room, techno and touches of trance. On stage, his sets rely on his own tracks and custom edits, crafted for the dancefloor: fast rhythms, punchy kicks, sharp synths, rave motifs and vocal fragments designed for collective singing. Used to large stages, he strings together clean drops, well-timed breakdowns and build-ups that raise the tension without losing momentum.

His palette, sometimes likened to big room techno, mixes unadorned instrumental cuts with productions centered on the impact of the drop. You can hear the DNA of his collaborations with Hardwell, Timmy Trumpet and W&W, without that ever overriding his personal stamp. For this closing, expect a clear, effective narrative: an energy progression, big room/techno crossovers and a melodic line that holds course through to the finale. The set is conceived as a continuous journey, where every transition serves the collective rise.
