One of the most exciting features of this year’s lineup is the abundance of back-to-back (B2B) sets, which showcase unexpected musical pairings and unique collaborations. Highlights include the rare Alison Wonderland B2B Kaskade performance, along with other notable B2Bs from iconic names like The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, I Hate Models, and Skream. These surprise performances will keep attendees on their toes throughout the weekend.
EDC 2025 will also see an expansion in its stage offerings, with some of the festival’s most beloved stages undergoing exciting transformations. Key upgrades include an all-new design for the circuitGROUNDS and neonGARDEN stages, along with the final year of bassPOD in its current form before a planned reimagining for 2026.
The festival will introduce a brand-new stage, Ubuntu, located in the Nomadsland section. Ubuntu, a collaboration with South Africa’s Bridges For Music Academy, will spotlight Afrohouse sounds, featuring performances by both emerging student talents and iconic South African artists. The stage aims to create a cultural bridge through music and celebrate the diversity of the global dance music community.
