Sea You Festival returns to Lake Tunisee in Freiburg from July 18 to 20 with an expanded edition that stretches across six distinct stages and more than 150 acts.

Sea You Festival is known for combining open-air dance floors with lakeside views and playful summer elements, the event continues to grow while staying rooted in its laid-back yet upbeat dentity.

The 2025 Sea You Festival edition follows back-to-back wins at the Heavent Awards for Best Festival in Western Europe. With redesigned stages, a bigger Main Stage, and the addition of a sixth stage focused on hard groove and ghetto tech, this year brings in more variety without losing its flow. New art installations, more food options, and improved camping conditions are also in place.

Main Names Across All Corners of the Scene

This year’s lineup pulls in artists across techno, melodic house, trance, and EDM. Paul Kalkbrenner (live), Nina Kraviz, James Hype, Deborah De Luca, Sven Väth, Reinier Zonneveld (live), Nora En Pure, and Neelix stand out across various stages during Sea You Festival.

Also on board are Kölsch, Len Faki, BUNT., Alle Farben, Jan Blomqvist (live), Klangkuenstler, Kevin de Vries, Lilly Palmer, Dirty Doering, Nora En Pure, Silver Panda, NTO (live), and Lexy & K-Paul (live). From the progressive side, Raumklang brings in Bliss, Liquid Soul, Phaxe, Berg, Ghost Rider, and Vegas, alongside newer names like Jilax, Hatikwa, and Reality Test.

B2B sets include Adrian Mills B2B PRADA2000, Callush B2B Dasstudach, and Koboyo B2B Fjusha. The full range spans from big room to underground, with local names and emerging talent spread throughout the Sea You Festival.

Six Stages with Different Directions

Each stage at Sea You Festival takes on its own musical identity.

• The Main Stage leans toward large-scale live sets and high-impact melodic acts

• The Techno Dome focuses on industrial, driving rhythms

• The Sea View Stage mixes dance-pop, commercial house, and upbeat electronic

• The Hard Dome hosted by Gotec is darker, faster, and more raw

• Stage 5, restructured for progressive trance and psychedelic sounds

• The newly introduced Stage 6 brings harder, hybrid sets and Lake View sounds

This range gives room for long-time Sea You festivalgoers to drift between scenes without losing momentum, and it invites new listeners to explore genres they might not usually hear.

A Summer Setting Few Can Match

What defines Sea You Festival is its balance between world-class music and its natural setting. Floating dancefloors, inflatable flamingos, watersports, shaded lounges, and that long stretch of shoreline all play a part in the atmosphere. It’s built to be as much about the experience as it is about the sound.

With music running daily from afternoon into late night, and camping open until Monday, Sea You 2025 offers a weekend built around freedom, movement, and summer energy.
