About this festival
TIKTAK NYE 2026, the year’s biggest indoor New Year’s Eve festival, transforms Rotterdam’s Maassilo into a sprawling celebration venue on 31 December 2026. The former harbour warehouse at Maashaven accommodates several areas, each with its own stages and sound. Organised by E&A Events, this XXL edition invites festival-goers to welcome the new year with electronic music and plenty of room to celebrate. Yade Lauren has been announced as the first confirmed Mainstage headliner, with the rest of the programme to be revealed gradually.
The event is aimed at fans who want to spend New Year’s Eve at a dedicated festival site rather than in a club. Maassilo brings together different musical focuses, allowing different crowds to find their place in the night across its areas. Its appeal lies in the combination of expansive industrial architecture, a continuous programme and the shared countdown to the new year. Located directly by Rotterdam’s harbour, the venue is easy to reach by public transport and car; tickets are sold through partner Enterticket.
For anyone looking to begin the new year beneath an indoor festival roof, this is one of the Netherlands’ key New Year’s Eve options. TIKTAK has long been a fixture of Rotterdam’s year-end celebrations and, in 2026, offers a full indoor festival evening with several areas and a large main stage, running from late afternoon into the early hours.
