A guide to our SDF '26 Weekender!

1. Tickets and wristband
If you have a Weekender Package, you can exchange your ticket for a wristband at the Paradiso Box Office by showing your ticket at the door on your phone. All other tickets will just be scanned at the door, also from your phone (no need to print!). Can't find your ticket? Your ticket(s) are downloadable in your MySDF account. Login to your account on our website and click on “My Orders” to find an easy overview of all your purchased tickets.

You can pick up your wristband during these hours: 
Friday 6 January…………… from 19.30 - 00:30
Saturday 7 February………… from 11.00 - 21:00
Sunday 8 February………….. from 11:00 - 15:30

2. Location
The SDF Weekender has two locations: Paradiso for the battles, club nights and performances, and the Academy for Theater and Dance (ATD) for the workshops. Please note that the two locations are easily reachable with public transport or bicycle!

Paradiso: Weteringschans 6-8
Academie voor Theater & Dans (ATD), Jodenbreestraat 3

3. Duo-Mode Battle explainer
This year, the SDF Weekender includes both the House Dance and Hiphop Battle in Duo-Mode! We are also introducing a new step in the Preselections: a Top 48. Learn more about this battle concept here.

4. Merchandize
At the festival, you can get our brand new SDF Weekender long sleeves and Clubbing Forever Tees, as well as some previous festival goodies! SDF merch will also be available in the webshop (after the festival).

5. Food
We are selling food during the House Dance Forever preselections and battle on Saturday and during the Hiphop Preselections and Battles on Sunday in the Paradiso basement, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Next to this, our neighbors from Hagen Coffee offer all SDF visitors a 15% discount on their delicious coffee's, ginger shots, protein bars, small sandwiches and more of that good stuff! Just say the magic word 'Forever' ;).

6. Keep your phone in your pocket!
At Summer Dance Forever, the music, vibe, and of course the dancers are always the main focus. Please help us to create the atmosphere you love so much and keep your smartphone or other devices for photography or video recording in your pocket or store them in a locker. This way you can ensure the best experience for yourself and your fellow visitors. We will serve you with the hottest clips on our YouTube and socials!

7. Free lockers
At Paradiso, it is required to use the lockers for your bag(s). During our SDF Weekender they are free of charge for your convenience – if we keep the bags out of the way, there is more space to dance! Please note that we cannot store large bags or suitcases!

8. Reselling your tickets
Do you have a ticket but are you not able to come? You can now safely resell and purchase second-hand tickets via Ticketswap!
