Do you want to take a relaxing break in between two concerts? At Cactus Oasis, your favorite hang-out spot on Saturday and Sunday, that’s not a problem! Snuggle up on the banks of the Lake of Love in one of our hammocks, enjoy a drink on the sunny terrace to completely unwind. Meanwhile, the kids can romp on Bolwerk‘s imaginative playground. Join the experience and have fun at Oasis!
Discover the installations at Cactus Oasis:
Creatool – Domino Drop
Use all the brain cells of the participants, communicate and work together to make it one big success. Will the domino drop or not? That is the question!
Â
Woeshzone
An animated open arena where participants can practice to their heart’s content. Every half hour you can also attend a micro-circus workshop.
Human Claw Machine
A hilarious variation on the familiar claw machines you can come across at any fairground. Those devices where you throw in coin after coin and then do your best to grab a stuffed animal or a watch with the help of a gripper. Okaaaay, let’s go!
Playscape
A fixed value at Cactus Festival: a ‘bouncy castle’ made of giant balloons, better known as Playscape.
Productions en Zonen
Productions en Zonen performs theatre and creates concepts in many forms. Inspiring, atmospheric, audience-oriented, interactive, with a humorous undertone and a touch of poetry. At this year’s Cactus Festival, they will provide the mobile interventions Poetry Bathtub, Mirror Ball and Floss.

Hair salon OdeVie
With wacky play equipment comes wacky haircuts. Hair salon OdeVie will take care of you and your kids’ hair at Oasis.

offtherecordclub 19:00-20:30
Started from the bottom, now they're definitely here. This DJ duo worked their way up nicely into solid party starters, quietly distinguishing themselves with a selection that transcends the boundaries of musical genres. To create their sound, they draw inspiration from hip-hop, R&B, amapiano, house and breakbeat, among others. They produce an energetic mix with peaks and lulls, from a slow groove to uptempo beats with everything in between.

jaegher 20:30-22:00
Jaegher provides a wide selection of records from all levels of the electronic landscape. Electro, world, disco, house, italo garage, breaks, you name it. Variety is key!
catalina 22:00-00:00
Catalina cemented her place in the Belgian electronic music scene through sonic combinations of breaks, leftfield electro and heavy UKG. She has made a name for herself, with residencies on the airwaves of Bruzz and Kiosk Radio, by exploring the chemistry between deconstructed, percussive tempos and aquatic melodies, while borrowing elements from her musical influences in the UK. Her sets demonstrate a technical ability to transcend genres, focusing on the experimental and upbeat side of electronic music and teleporting dance floors further into the stratosphere and beyond.
