19th Elektrisch Festival confirms Portion Control, Escalator, Oszylator, Cyborg Projekt X, and KRIEG-B
The 19th Elektrisch Festival will take place on October 24, 2026 at Club Seilerstraße in Zwickau, Germany. The announced line-up features Portion Control, Escalator, Oszylator, Cyborg Projekt X, and KRIEG-B. Organizers describe it as “another sweaty evening,” and tickets are already on sale via Emmo.biz Records.
The announcement also mentions a new 10-inch vinyl sampler in preparation for the event. That release format has become part of the festival’s recent profile, with earlier Elektrisch editions also tied to limited sampler-style vinyl releases.
