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 yourself, go to a daytime club, join a range of dance workshops, see various dance performances, or enjoy panel discussions. All festival activities are drug-free, have sound levels adapted for families with children, and can be enjoyed as either 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 start 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 dance 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 club-style tryouts called cypher tryouts in the solo categories of hip hop, popping, house dance, and breaking, as well as junior allstyle (under 16) and adult allstyle (17+). Each cypher tryout lasts 75 minutes. You can take part in the club as either a spectator or a participant; entry 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 take part. Seating is limited.

On Sunday, 22 November, we invite you to the final day at Trädgår’n. Sunday includes the top eight in the solo and allstyle categories. Starting from the top four, we will combine the two allstyle solo categories to create 2-on-2 “Battle 4 Generations,” featuring a junior allstyle team and an adult allstyle team. There will also be a live act, cypher, jam, judge showcases, and much more.

The event will also offer limited-edition sustainable clothing from Dedicated Brand, as well as more entertainment, including performances, showcases, an open dance floor, an afterparty, and much more throughout the dance event.
