La Luna Obscura 2026 – Edition II
Dark Alternative Festival – Ostend, Belgium
21–23 August 2026
La Luna Obscura returns to Ostend from 21 to 23 August 2026 with its second edition: a three‑day dark alternative festival devoted to industrial, EBM, darkwave, post‑punk and related underground genres. Taking place in the coastal city of Ostend, the event offers an intense, nocturnal counterpoint to the classic Belgian summer festival season.
Across two band days and nights, the festival presents a carefully curated line‑up of established names and rising acts from the dark underground scene, while Sunday remains deliberately shrouded in mystery. Under the banner “The Underground Vision”, La Luna Obscura aims to provide a platform for uncompromising music and a meeting point for an international community of fans.

A Mysterious Sunday
