Taksirat 2026 programme: who plays
The organiser has not yet published the running order by stage and hour. This is the whole line-up, in the poster's A–Z order, with what the organiser says about each act.
Morcheeba (UK)
The trip-hop legends come specially, as friends of Password Production, and play Taksirat for the first time. The band is marking 30 years of its career, and released the album „Escape the Chaos" in 2025.
Zoster (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
The Mostar band is one of the biggest names on the Balkan scene right now, and plays Skopje for the first time. It has five studio albums, from „Ojužilo" (2005) to „Najgori" (2023), and anthems like „Ko je jamio", „Volio sam te" and „Kuda idu svi ti ljudi".
Kadebostany (Switzerland)
The Swiss project has more than 5 billion streams worldwide. „Castle in the Snow" was a chart hit, their version of „Crazy in Love" was heard in Fifty Shades of Grey, and „Early Morning Dreams" went viral on TikTok. They have played a Champions League final, and come to Skopje with their fifth album, „The Outsider".
Z++ (Croatia)
Zvonimir Husnjak from Osijek, known as Z++, returns to Taksirat with „Ljeto Već Je Gotovo", „Sedmo nebo" and „Kabriolet".
Foltin
Foltin close the year of their 30th anniversary at Taksirat — together with their new project, Foltin Re:Composed.
SMUT
The giants of Macedonian hardcore celebrate 30 years with an exclusive concert at Taksirat, their only one in Macedonia.
Conspiracy
The thrash metal band celebrates its 10th anniversary. After winning Luzer Fest and the debut „Dehumanized" came the second album „Zagovor", second place at Wacken Metal Battle and a win at the Zaječar Guitar Festival.
KEM
Skopje's hip-hop innovators give this year's album „vakamie" an exclusive Skopje promotion at Taksirat.
Raxon (Egypt)
The Egyptian techno producer, now based in Barcelona, has released on Cocoon, Drumcode, Diynamic and Kompakt. Before music he worked as an architect in Dubai, and he moved to Europe on Hernán Cattáneo's recommendation. The organiser promises he will bring „an unforgettable end" to the 28th edition.
Alizade (Azerbaijan)
The Azerbaijani rap and pop star started as a backing vocalist for Big Baby Tape and rose to fame with „Anormal" and „24/7". In 2026 came the single „Stop Smoking", the first from the new album „Rahat Music". Skopje has already seen Alizade at the PIN conference.
Sure Shotz
The hosts of the Shorty P stage — always shoulder to shoulder with the Taksirat crew.
Two stages: Smooth stage and Shorty P
True to tradition, the hall has two stages. The main one is Smooth stage, the second is Shorty P, hosted by Sure Shotz. The audience moves freely between them and builds its own night.
Taksirat moves to Jane Sandanski
The festival began at MKC (the Youth Cultural Centre) in 1999, spent 17 years at the Skopje Fair, and then moved to Boris Trajkovski Arena. This year, for the first time, the finale is at the Jane Sandanski hall in Aerodrom.
Taksirat is more than one night
As every year, Taksirat starts before its finale: the programme opens on 26 November with the three-day PIN music conference, Luzer Fest and its search for the best new young band, and solo concerts by Macedonian artists. We will put each of those nights on happens.mk as soon as the organiser announces their dates and venues.
Taksirat 2026 tickets
