Having already facilitated more than 100 label opportunities and signings through its evolving network of labels, artists and industry partners, the organisation continues to develop new routes for its community to access the wider electronic music industry.
Sydney Blu comments:
“We’re so excited at Change the Beat to be hosting the remix contest for Sara Landry and Alex Farell’s incredible record, ‘Angel Dust,’ and to have the opportunity to discover and spotlight three amazing emerging women producers through this project.
Sara has really inspired me with the way she’s used her platform to champion other women in electronic music. Watching her bring the Blood Oath artists on stage with her at Coachella and create that kind of visibility on one of the biggest stages in the world was incredibly inspiring. That spirit of opening doors and bringing other artists with you is so aligned with what we’re building at Change the Beat, which makes this collaboration feel especially meaningful.”
Change the Beat Artist Development Programmes
Alongside its Remix Contest Programme, Change the Beat is continuing its artist development initiatives, including The Demo Room, which gives participating labels the opportunity to showcase their sound and A&R priorities while providing artists with a direct route to submit music, receive feedback and connect with industry decision-makers. In parallel, Change the Beat’s Going Global programme further supports artists looking to build sustainable international careers.
The organisation’s relaunched Remix Contest Programme has created official remix and release opportunities for emerging artists through collaborations with leading electronic music labels and artists. Recent partners include SIPPY, DeadBeats, Westend, Trace Amounts and now Sara Landry’s HEKATE Records, alongside previous partners including Drumcode, mau5trap, Armada, Anjunadeep, Anjunabeats, HE.SHE.THEY, Insomniac Records, Nervous Records and Toolroom Records. Artists connected to the programme have also worked on projects involving artists including deadmau5, Nicole Moudaber, Eli & Fur, Crystal Waters, Ultra Naté, Maya Jane Coles, DJ Minx, VNSSA, Giorgia Angiuli and Azzecca.
For Change the Beat, the ‘Angel Dust’ competition represents a significant new step in their work, connecting its community with one of the most influential names in the current Techno movement and a label built around forward-thinking electronic music.
Change the Beat International Tour
Change the Beat will also soon announce an international Change the Beat tour, bringing its artist development and industry access programmes to cities across the U.S, Canada and Europe. Each tour date will combine live programming with practical workshops and industry panels, creating opportunities for artists to develop their skills, gain insight from industry professionals and build connections within their local electronic music communities. Upcoming dates will include seminal venues such as fabric in London, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and Marquee New York, further expanding Change the Beat’s presence across key international electronic music hubs.
Through workshops, masterclasses, mentorship, club events, industry partnerships and career development programmes, Change the Beat provides artists with practical support across music production, DJ performance, branding and music business. The organisation continues to expand its activities through events, showcases and educational programmes across the UK, US, Canada and Europe, creating further opportunities for women and gender expansive artists to develop their careers and connect with the global electronic music industry.

Tiësto Revives ‘In Concert’ for 2027 Stadium Show
Tiësto brings back his legendary ‘In Concert’ concept with a four-hour stadium show at Legia Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on June 19, 2027
Tiësto officially announced the return of his iconic “Tiësto In Concert” concept, slated to take over the Legia Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on June 19, 2027.
The event is billed as a dedicated four-hour sonic journey through the Dutch legend’s vast discography. It will bridge the gap between his genre-defining trance roots and the crossover anthems that have dominated global charts and festival mainstages ever since.

The History Behind Tiësto In Concert
For longtime fans, the “In Concert” moniker carries serious weight. Back on May 10, 2003, Tiësto fundamentally changed the live electronic landscape at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands. Up to that point, DJs operated almost exclusively in clubs, warehouse raves, or festival lineups. Tiësto became the first solo DJ to headline an entire stadium on his own. Armed with an eight-hour set, live vocalists, classical musicians, and arena-scale production, he drew a crowd of over 25,000 ravers. The spectacle was captured on an era-defining DVD that proved electronic acts could meet rock-star scale. Demand was so high that he returned to the GelreDome for two back-to-back editions in October 2004.
The original 2003 event ran through the night from 11 PM until 7 AM, with Tiësto joined by guest performers including Jan Johnston, Skin and Dinand Woesthoff. The concert was also broadcast live in the Netherlands by 3FM and ID&T Radio.
Tiësto Returns to the Stadium in 2027
Now, over two decades after redefining what a stadium DJ show could look like, he is stepping back into that solo spotlight. Warsaw’s Legia Stadium is a venue capable of holding upwards of 30,000 fans for major concerts. It sets an ambitious stage for an artist whose career spans vinyl-only club sets to modern multi-genre stadium bangers.
The return also comes more than 23 years after the original Tiësto In Concert and more than 22 years after his two nights at the GelreDome in October 2004, where recordings show Tiësto once again played sets lasting around eight hours.
The announcement inevitably raises the burning question. Is Warsaw a standalone spectacle or the opening chapter of an “In Concert” world tour? With a full year of anticipation ahead, all eyes are on the Dutch master to see just how deep he digs into the vault.
