Deep in the heart of the Ardennes, the forest comes to life once a year — where, for over 20 years, regional and international DJ's have electrified the woods with nine hours of lights and electronic music. In Montenau, where beats, lights, and stars collide, there's only one thing you know for sure: only this moment matters.

This is not just a rave – it’s a ritual of fire, light, and rhythm.
What began as a local gathering has grown into East Belgiums biggest techno festival. Each year, hundreds come together to create something bigger than music: a wild, free space where everyone belongs.
