VELD Music Festival stages
VELD has three stages split by sound. The Main Stage covers the biggest names, Sirkus is for techno and house, and the Smirnoff Bass Stage handles dubstep, trap and drum & bass.
Can you watch VELD Music Festival live?
As of Oct 27, 2026: VELD Music Festival last streamed live in 2024, on YouTube (VELD LIVE SETS playlist). No 2027 stream has been announced yet; the festival runs July 30 – August 1, 2027.
We found no official full livestream of VELD in the material, and the official YouTube channel shows no festival streams for 2025 or 2026. What does exist is full sets posted afterward, mostly by the artists, plus a VELD LIVE SETS playlist on YouTube. The festival runs three stages: Main Stage, Sirkus Stage and Smirnoff Bass Stage. For 2027, expect recorded sets after the weekend rather than a live feed.
| 2025 | YouTube (artist uploads) |
| 2024 | YouTube (VELD LIVE SETS playlist) A Frank Walker set from VELD 2024 is listed in the VELD LIVE SETS playlist.[2] |
