Just in time for the holiday season, Electric Love Festival presents the perfect gift for music lovers: the first lineup phase for ELF25 is set and already bringing summer vibes despite the chilly winter season.
With an impressive selection of artists spanning a wide range of genres – from chilled-out house to high-energy Hard Dance – ELF25 is set to be an unmissable highlight on the summer festival calendar.
A standout highlight of the first line-up phase is Major Lazer Soundsystem. The trio surrounding superstar DJ Diplo, is known for global hits like ‘Lean On’, ‘Cold Water’, and ‘Light It Up’—songs that have collectively surpassed 5 billion Spotify streams. An impressive number, especially considering that not even Madonna has a song on Spotify with over 1 billion streams. Hardwell, the legendary Dutch DJ and producer, returns to Salzburg in 2025. A longtime fan favorite, he has graced the Electric Love mainstage multiple times, delivering unforgettable sets. Another highlight is Deborah De Luca, a techno icon who brings her distinctive sound and global acclaim back to the stunning Salzburg Lake District. Recently, she made waves as one of the few techno artists to perform on New York’s Times Square. Fans of Tream are in for a treat. After his celebrated performances in the Heineken Starclub (2023) and Club Circus (2024), the German schlager rapper is taking his ELF performance to a whole new level in 2025. He will present Tream Frühschoppen, a brand-new, exclusive concept that promises to pack the mainstage from the very start with his live performance.
The first line-up phase also features standout acts like Hugel, who dominates the charts with his Afro House beats, and BUNT., the German sensation set to perform on the ELF 360 Stage in the middle of the crowd. Drum and bass legend Sub Focus and the “crazy Aussie” Will Sparks are also ready to bring their signature sounds to Salzburg. For fans of harder beats, I Hate Models and Azyr will deliver dark hard techno vibes that guarantee rave energy. Hip-hop enthusiasts can look forward to performances by Money Boy and Filow, while local heroes, the Glueboys, will once again bring their energy to the Club Circus. The hard dance community is also well-represented: genre legend Brennan Heart and AR Gang head Sickmode, known for his goofy beats, are just two of the many acts set to demolish the two hard dance stages.
And the best part? This is just the beginning. Over the coming months, even more national and international top acts will be announced, ensuring Electric Love Festival 2025 will be an unforgettable experience.
Anyone wanting to join ELF25 should secure their tickets before the end of December while the Super Early Bird Phase is still ongoing here. Many categories are already sold out.
