Blacklist Festival 2025 Reveals 50+ Acts and VISSA Takeover
Blacklist Festival 2025 returns to Turbinenhalle Oberhausen on October 11 with a VISSA takeover.
Germany’s Blacklist Festival returns to Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen on Saturday, October 11, 2025, with more than 50 artists across four stages, a dedicated VISSA floor, and a twelve-hour program covering dubstep, drum and bass, trap, and bass house.
New additions and key bookings
The final lineup wave adds Whales, Bou B2B Hedex, Flowidus, Holy Goof, and Koven. Bou B2B Hedex brings together two of drum and bass’s most in-demand names for a rare joint set. Flowidus, the Australia and New Zealand duo, make their only announced European appearance of the year so far. Holy Goof lines up his UKG and bassline focus, while Koven add a cinematic live edge. Whales rounds out the update with a melodic to harder bass set that has built a strong following this year. Supporting depth on the drum and bass side comes from Mozey, Used, and Murdock, reflecting the festival’s mix of headline appeal and underground traction.
VISSA curates a full floor takeover with Autodrive, Hammerhead, Explorers of the Internet, EH!DE, Terminite, Gladde Palling, Different Heaven, Dubtendo, and STVG. The takeover format gives each act room to define the room’s sound while keeping changeovers quick. These additions join previously announced heavyweights and long-running projects including Black Tiger Sex Machine, Sullivan King, DJ Snake presents The Outlaw, Habstrakt, Code: Pandorum, Reaper, and Modestep (Classics Set). The overall bill is designed for range, moving from mainstage bass to niche styles that rarely share the same timetable.
Stages, schedule, and tickets
Turbinenhalle will host four distinct stages with an expected crowd of about 7,000, utilizing the venue’s industrial layout for clear room identities and smooth movement between sets. Programming runs for twelve hours with set times and room splits to be announced closer to the event. Across the day, Blacklist leans on its usual mix of established headliners and forward-looking bookings, a format that has helped the brand grow from a local night to a key meeting point for Europe’s bass community.
Tickets are available now from 45€, with VIP options also offered. For the full lineup, updates on set times, travel information, and venue guidance, visit the official Blacklist Festival website.
