Beats for Love 2026: The masked star Marshmello will make Ostrava dance
The largest electronic dance music festival in Central Europe is expanding its program with the first big name for the upcoming edition, which will take place in the Dolní Vítkovice district of Ostrava from July 1 to 4, 2026. One of the headliners will be one of the most significant phenomena in contemporary electronic and popular music – American DJ and producer Marshmello. The organizers also introduced a groundbreaking innovation called LoveID. This practical user account will make the festival experience easier and more enjoyable for visitors, from ticket purchases and management to benefits, news, and security.
Look forward to an ambitious line-up packed with world-class names
Beats for Love 2026 will welcome one of the most famous and popular icons of the global electronic scene – DJ and producer Marshmello. The iconic figure with a white marshmallow-shaped mask crossed the boundaries of dance events long ago and has become a symbol of global pop culture. Marshmello will bring a show to the Love Stage by ČSOB that combines the best of EDM and catchy pop. The global hits he has created with stars such as Selena Gomez, DJ Khalid, and Bastille demonstrate his visionary ability to connect genres and appeal to fans across generations. His sets are famous for their explosions of energy and contagious melodies that will make all show visitors dance without compromise.
“Marshmello is one of the biggest names in contemporary electronic and pop music, and his show is exactly the kind of experience that makes Beats for Love so special. His energy, connection with the audience, and the visual aspect of his performance push the boundaries of the festival experience. We are thrilled to finally welcome him to Ostrava after years of waiting,” says Jiří Ramík, the festival’s program director.
Fan interest exceeded expectations – tickets are selling fast
Demand for the largest dance festival in the heart of Europe is once again huge – the organizers of Beats for Love report that more than half of the festival tickets for 2026 have already been sold out in advance. This year, fans can look forward not only to a strong line-up, but also to a technological innovation in the form of so-called LoveID. This new system represents the digital identity of each visitor, linking tickets and benefits into a single secure profile, their user account. LoveID registration is required to purchase, transfer, or activate a ticket; without it, it is not possible to obtain or forward a ticket. LoveID also allows you to securely manage your tickets and clearly follow your benefits, including exclusive news. Thanks to LoveID, the festival experience becomes even more personal, clearer, and safer than ever before.
“The interest in LoveID and tickets really surprised us—the pace of sales and fan response to the new ticketing system exceeded our expectations. We are delighted that people have quickly taken to LoveID and see it as a step in the right direction. It confirms that Beats for Love fans are open to new ideas and appreciate it when we make their festival experience easier,” says Andrea Elízová, Marketing Director at Beats for Love.
New look&feel, experiences, and an unforgettable atmosphere
