APRIL 18-20, 2025
NDSM DOCKLANDS AMSTERDAM
Get ready for an electric awakening this Spring as DGTL Festival transforms Amsterdam’s NDSM Shipyard into a pulsating hub of electronic music. Set to ignite from April 18-20, 2025, this landmark event heralds the dawn of festival season under the inspiring banner of ‘New Horizons‘ – where musical boundaries dissolve and connections flourish.
The festival’s thirteenth edition boasts a stellar constellation of talent that bridges the gap between underground innovators and electronic music royalty. Prepare to be blown away by the raw, uncompromising energy of Brutalismus 3000 and witness Anetha’s masterful command of contemporary techno. The freshly unveiled Current Stage welcomes visionaries like DJ Heartstring and Malugi, who’ll paint sonic landscapes spanning from hypnotic trance to euphoric eurodance.
Making waves this year is the legendary Joris Voorn, who’s finally gracing DGTL with his masterful melodic house compositions. The lineup reaches new heights with The Blaze, France’s electronic music phenomenon, and the genre-defying wizard Carlita, promising an extraordinary tapestry of sound and emotion.
Festival enthusiasts take note: Early Bird and Regular tickets for Saturday and Sunday have already vanished. With the complete lineup now unveiled, remaining weekend and day passes are expected to disappear at lightning speed – so both local and international music lovers should act fast.
