About this festival
The fourth edition of Pat B Birthday Bash XXL brings Belgian hardstyle DJ Pat B back to Antwerp’s Lotto Arena on 19 December 2026. The previous edition sold out, and for many fans of the hard dance scene, the event is a fixture in the winter calendar. The evening combines a large-scale arena production with the heavy beats of the harder styles scene in an indoor event running for several hours.
The arena is located on Schijnpoortweg in northern Antwerp and is easily reached by public transport. Advance sales begin with pre-registration; prices and further programme details will be announced during the season. A dense light and sound production will surround the stage, creating an experience beneath the arena roof. The named programme will be expanded gradually as artists are confirmed for this edition.
Questions & answers
How do I get to the festival?
Lotto Arena is located on Schijnpoortweg in Antwerp and can be reached by train in combination with the metro or tram. Your event ticket also serves as a travel ticket for De Lijn services (metro, tram and bus). Until the end of March 2027, no trams will run between Linkeroever and Rechteroever due to tunnel renovations; the venue’s help centre lists alternatives.
Is parking available?
The venue recommends leaving your car at a Park & Ride site and travelling the final few kilometres by public transport. Visitors with reduced mobility can reserve a space at Parking Vaart at least two weeks before the event; proof such as a disabled parking permit is required.
What can I bring, and what is prohibited?
You may not bring your own bottles, cans, drinks, food, alcohol, cutlery, glass or perfume bottles, spray cans, flagpoles, selfie sticks, fireworks, sharp objects, or audio, video and photographic equipment. Bags and rucksacks must not exceed 21 x 30 x 10 centimetres (A4). Camera phones are tolerated unless the organiser states otherwise.
Is the site accessible?
Wheelchair users must book their spaces, including a companion space, by phone or via the venue’s contact form; for safety reasons, regular spaces are not available. Guests who require additional support should arrive no later than 40 minutes before the event begins. Lifts at Sport metro station lead to the Lotto Arena.
Are dogs allowed on site?
Pets are not permitted in the Lotto Arena. Blind and severely visually impaired people may bring their guide dog, but this should be arranged with the venue in advance.
When do the doors open?
Doors usually open an hour and a half before the event begins. The exact time will be announced on the event detail page a few days before the event.
