TEGENDRAADS Festival 2026.

Every year, this one remains special.

I’m incredibly grateful to still be part of the TEGENDRAADS family and for the trust the team continues to place in me. Being able to contribute to this festival year after year is something I never take for granted.

This year, I was responsible for the light design, programming and operator at the mainstage. I also had the privilege of leading the creative direction for the closing show, coordinating the lighting, laser, video and SFX/Pyro and bringing every discipline together into one seamless show.

Besides that, it was great to see the @maoss_design team delivering lighting operators across all festival areas throughout the day. Seeing the team grow and take on productions like this makes me incredibly proud.

A huge thank you to the entire production, crew and everyone involved for another amazing edition. Looking forward to creating even more together. 🖤
