Hiphop Revolution Festival 2026

Hiphop Revolution Festival is a meeting place where dance and culture bring people together. Hiphop Revolution Festival 2026 is a dance festival in its seventeenth year, offering something for everyone. You can watch a dance competition or take part, go to a daytime club, join a range of dance workshops, see different dance performances or enjoy panel discussions. All festival activities are drug-free, have sound levels adapted for families with children, and can be enjoyed either as a participant or a spectator, whether you are young or old. The festival is made by dancers for dancers, and also for everyone who wants to experience dance, music, culture and entertainment. Open to all ages, including groups and families.

“Since 2009, the festival has been a meeting place where dance and culture bring people together. We are proud to welcome you back for another year filled with community, inspiration and the joy of dance.”

We kick off the festival programme on Friday 13 November and Sunday 15 November with the official performing arts day. The festival offers the opportunity to see two dance performances: “Det [o]kända” with Eddie Yalman and Julian “Joujou” Namroud, together with invited dancers and composers. Then, on Sunday 15 November, we return to House of Possibilitas for the annual free, open panel discussion “Revolution talks”, with our moderator Mike Gamble and invited guests from the dance performance “Det [o]kända”.

On Friday 20 November, we will head to Twisted Feet DA and offer three 90-minute intermediate-level dance workshops in hip hop, popping and house dance, as well as five 60-minute beginner/open-level workshops in hip hop, popping, house dance and breaking, led by this year’s judges.

On Saturday 21 November, we will take over Surr Arena for a club-style qualifier called cypher tryouts in the solo categories of hip hop, popping, house dance, breaking, junior allstyle under 16 and adult allstyle 17+. Each cypher tryout lasts 75 minutes. You can attend the club as either a spectator or a participant; entrance wristbands show who is competing and who is clubbing. The club is drug-free, has sound levels adapted for children, and is family-friendly, so anyone can attend. Seating is limited.

On Sunday 22 November, we invite you to the final day at Trädgår’n. Sunday includes the top 8 in the solo and allstyle categories. From the top 4, we will combine the two allstyle solo categories to create 2 vs 2 “Battle 4 Generations”. This will include a junior allstyle team and an adult allstyle team. There will also be a live act, cypher, jam, judges’ showcases and much more.

*The event will also offer limited-edition sustainable clothing from Dedicated Brand and more entertainment, including performances, showcases, an open dance floor, an afterparty and plenty of other fun throughout the dance event.
