A breakdown of the most notable DJ back2back sets across festivals and clubs in 2025.

DJ B2B sets appeared across the electronic music circuit throughout 2025, with high-profile collaborations involving Martin Garrix, Marshmello, Anyma, Solomun, DJ Snake, Skrillex, ISOxo, Zedd, Knock2, R3HAB, KSHMR, Oliver Heldens, Armin van Buuren, and Maddix. These back-to-back and B3B sets took place at major events including Ultra Music Festival Miami, Electric Forest, Escape Psycho Circus, Niteharts Festival, and ADE, alongside club and destination appearances at UNVRS Ibiza and open-air locations across Europe. Across festivals, clubs, and special venues, the best DJ B2B sets across 2025 were tied to specific lineups and locations, bringing together artists from different touring circuits and genres within the same performance setting.

Anyma B2B Solomun

Anyma B2B Solomun appeared multiple times across 2025, with confirmed sets at Ultra Music Festival Miami and Tomorrowland, placing the pairing on two of the year’s most visible festival stages. The collaboration reflected a clear overlap between Anyma’s recent melodic techno output and Solomun’s long-standing Diynamic catalog, with selections closely aligned to records both artists regularly feature in their solo sets. Outside of festivals, their connection was visible through shared appearances at industry events and after-parties, including a widely circulated sighting at a private afters in Los Angeles, indicating an ongoing professional relationship rather than a single booking. That continuity extended into the studio with the release of “Till I Die” on Diynamic, linking their 2025 B2B performances directly to a broader creative collaboration.

Crankdat B2B Levity B2B Tape B

Crankdat B2B Levity B2B Tape B took place at Electric Forest 2025, held in Rothbury, Michigan from June 19–22. The B3B set became one of the weekend’s most circulated performances after full recordings began appearing online shortly after the festival. While the Electric Forest appearance came first, the connection between Crankdat and Levity continued later in the year with the release of “Let’s Get It Started (Levity x Crankdat Remix)” in October 2025, adding further context to their shared presence at the festival. Tape B’s involvement completed the three-artist format, tying the set closely to the bass-focused side of Electric Forest’s lineup.

DJ Snake B2B Marshmello

DJ Snake B2B Marshmello took place at Escape Psycho Circus 2025, held at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino across the Halloween weekend. The pairing brought together two artists whose solo careers rarely intersect live, despite both operating at the top end of global festival circuits. DJ Snake’s catalog of bass-heavy and internationally influenced records sat alongside Marshmello’s widely recognized crossover material, resulting in a set built around familiar releases rather than unreleased experiments. The Escape appearance stood as one of the more unexpected collaborations on the 2025 festival calendar, driven by name recognition rather than an ongoing joint project.

HΛLØ (DubVision B2B Third Party B2B Matisse & Sadko)

HΛLØ, the collaborative project between DubVision, Third Party, and Matisse & Sadko, was officially introduced during Amsterdam Dance Event 2025, marking the first time the trio presented their long-running joint appearances under a formal name. Throughout 2025, the three artists had already performed together in multiple B3B configurations at international festivals, with recordings from those sets circulating widely online before the project name was announced. The ADE appearance clarified HΛLØ as a dedicated collaboration rather than an occasional shared set, bringing together three acts closely associated with modern progressive house through years of releases, remixes, and shared stages. The project later confirmed a large-scale live show at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam in 2026, establishing HΛLØ as an ongoing collaboration beyond its 2025 festival run.

ISOxo B2B Skrillex

ISOxo B2B Skrillex took place at Niteharts Festival 2025 in San Diego, bringing together two artists with an established musical connection rather than a one-off pairing. The set featured recognizable material from Skrillex’s recent catalog, including tracks such as “Fine Day Anthem” and “Push,” alongside selections closely associated with ISOxo’s live performances, including records from his kidsgonemad! era like “dontstopme!” and “inhuman.” A key point of overlap between the two artists is “fuzE,” a shared Skrillex and ISOxo release, which provided a clear link between their catalogs and helped anchor the B2B around music already familiar to fans of both names.

KI/KI B2B Marlon Hoffstadt

KI/KI B2B Marlon Hoffstadt took place on the beach in Belgium during 2025. KI/KI is known for DJ sets built around acid techno, trance, and early rave records, and has become closely associated with European club circuits through regular appearances at events such as Intercell and similar platforms. Marlon Hoffstadt, often referred to as DJ Daddy Trance, is widely recognized for tracks including “It’s That Time” and “Call Me,” and for DJ sets that focus heavily on modern trance and club records rather than crossover material. The beach appearance brought both artists together in a setting that matched the type of music they regularly play, without shifting away from their established sound.

KSHMR B2B R3HAB

KSHMR B2B R3HAB took place at Escape Psycho Circus 2025 in San Bernardino, California. The pairing followed an existing studio connection between the two artists through the track “Karate,” which had already circulated widely across festival sets before the live appearance. At Escape, KSHMR leaned into records associated with his melodic and big-room catalog, while R3HAB contributed selections tied to his club-focused and crossover releases that regularly appear in his solo shows. The set stayed within the musical lanes both artists are known for, presenting a shared performance built around established material rather than new collaborative releases.

Martin Garrix B2B Marshmello

Martin Garrix B2B Marshmello took place at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2025, marking a rare shared DJ set between two artists who usually appear separately on lineups. The Red Rocks show stood out due to the venue itself, which is more commonly associated with solo headline performances than collaborative formats. During the set, both artists played material closely associated with their individual catalogs, keeping the focus on recognizable releases rather than debuting new joint material. The appearance remained a standalone B2B rather than part of a wider run of shared performances.

Oliver Heldens B3B Armin van Buuren B3B Maddix

Oliver Heldens B3B Armin van Buuren B3B Maddix took place at Ultra Music Festival Miami 2025. Oliver Heldens played records tied to his Heldeep output, including material in the lane of tracks such as “Gecko (Overdrive)” and “Koala,” which have remained staples in his festival sets. Armin van Buuren brought selections consistent with his ASOT catalog, referencing the trance side of his live shows through tracks and edits similar to those featured in recent A State of Trance broadcasts. Maddix contributed records aligned with his recent releases on Revealed and Extatic, including material connected to tracks like “Heute Nacht” and “My Gasoline,” which have appeared regularly in his 2024–2025 performances.

Zedd B2B Knock2

Zedd B2B Knock2 took place at Niteharts Festival 2025, bringing together two artists from clearly different points in the electronic music timeline. Zedd’s contribution reflected a catalog built through globally recognized releases such as “Clarity,” “Spectrum,” and “Stay,” alongside instrumental records that have remained part of his DJ sets for years. Knock2 entered the set following a rapid rise through club and festival circuits, driven by tracks including “dashstar,” “murda,”* and “gettin’ hott,” which have circulated heavily in recent live sets across North America. The Niteharts appearance placed both artists in the same performance without shifting away from the music each is already known for, making the B2B notable for contrast in catalog rather than shared release history.

Looking Back at DJ B2B Sets in 2025

Across 2025, DJ B2B and B3B sets became a regular feature across major festivals and destination events, with notable appearances from Anyma B2B Solomun, ISOxo B2B Skrillex, DJ Snake B2B Marshmello, KSHMR B2B R3HAB, KI/KI B2B Marlon Hoffstadt, Zedd B2B Knock2, and the progressive-focused HΛLØ project featuring DubVision, Third Party, and Matisse & Sadko. These pairings appeared at events such as Ultra Music Festival Miami, Electric Forest, Escape Psycho Circus, Niteharts Festival, and Amsterdam Dance Event, showing how B2Bs are now planned parts of lineups rather than rare surprises. The format reached a clear peak of attention with the world debut of Hardwell B2B W&W at Neon Countdown, reinforcing how anticipated certain pairings have become when tied to major moments. With 2026 approaching, attention is already shifting toward which collaborations could realistically follow, as fans continue to watch for studio-linked pairings and long-discussed connections finally reaching the stage.
