This Spring, as the first rays of sunshine stretch their way across the Amsterdam NDSM shipyard, DGTL Festival rises. On April 18, 19 and 20, 2025, DGTL once again marks the start of a new festival season—a collective awakening from hibernation. Under the theme ‘New Horizons’, DGTL invites innovation, discovery and connection.
Reflecting this message is the line-up of DGTL’s thirteenth edition. Spread over multiple stages, DGTL brings a mix of groundbreaking pioneers and established headliners who are redefining electronic music. Brutalismus 3000, with their raw energy, and Anetha, a driving force in modern techno, represent the cutting edge of the genre. On the brand new Current Stage, artists such as DJ Heartstring and Malugi take you on a journey through innovative sounds, from trance to eurodance.
Making his DGTL Festival debut with a set not to be missed is icon and techno legend Joris Voorn, entering the DGTL stage for the very first time with his signature melodic house. Together with The Blaze, a critically acclaimed French act, and Carlita, known for her unique genre crossover, the 2025 line-up promises an unparalleled mix of energy and experience.
Early Bird and Regular tickets for Saturday and Sunday are now sold out. With the full announcement of the line-up, DGTL expects that the last weekend tickets and day tickets will also go quickly, giving a clear starting signal for both domestic and foreign fans to get a ticket on time.
New Current stage
This year, DGTL Festival welcomes the brand new Current Stage, which will make its 2025 debut on the iconic NDSM slope. This stage focuses on eurodance and trance, and offers a dynamic program with progressive artists who explore – and push – the boundaries of electronic music. Expect an energetic mix of stirring sets and an undeniable euphoria throughout both days, as visitors enjoy panoramic views over the water and the enchanting sunset that puts the festival in a truly magical light. The Current Stage promises to be a striking and innovative addition to the festival.
Dynamic sets by Malugi, who combines ’90s influences with an uptempo vibe, and Pegassi, who interweaves techno, trance, house and hip-hop, will provide an unforgettable experience. On Sunday, DJ Heartstring will close with a finale that will bring the audience into ecstasy with their unique mix of trance, electro and techno. The performances on this stage are powerful, the energy is unmistakable, and the discoveries are surprising.
Impressive Sunday program
DGTL Festival closes on Sunday in line with the New Horizons theme: a celebration of connection, innovation and energy. As the last sounds of the various stages slowly fade away and the spring sun sets again, we look forward together to a new festival season filled with encounters, fresh perspectives and sincere commitment to each other.
Monolink closes the Modular stage with an impressive live performance. With its unique sound and emotional depth, Monolink will provide the perfect ending to three days full of music and experience.
