DISCOVER THE FIRST NAMES OF #DOUR2025: CHARLOTTE DE WITTE, STORMZY, PARCELS, MARLON HOFFSTADT, BRUTALISMUS 3000, SAINT LEVANT, SKREAM & BENGA …
D-208 days to go to Dour Festival 2025! The countdown is officially launched before 5 days out of time during which the most Doureuuuh-obsessed festival-going community will find themselves in front of the most exciting headliners of the moment while being surprised by new musical discoveries, all styles combined!
It is now time to dive into the lineup and discover the first artists who will perform from July 16 to 20.
TECHNO & HARDSTYLE
Dour Festival, now a temple of electronics and a must for all artists and fans of techno, house, electronica and all variations, will welcome for the first time Dj Daddy Trance aka Marlon Hoffstadt, whose unique style of eurodance and trance literally turns all dancefloors, from London to Melbourne through Dour Festival and the mythical De Balzaal stage! It will also be a first for the Swiss duo Adriatique who will take festival-goers to new horizons with their elegant, melodic and progressive techno!
In terms of one the most highly-anticipated comebacks of the year, we start with the techno icon Charlotte de Witte, DJ and Belgian producer (does she even need an introduction?) who will take the controls of the De Balzaal stage just like the boss Nico Moreno (and will have still more surprises for you) who surfs like no one on the industrial techno wave. Another comeback that is highly anticipated and that will have left all the festival-goers experiencing major Dour-stalgia already two years ago, the Berlin duo or rather the gabber cataclysm Brutalismus 3000. The date is set this time at the end of The Last Arena, on July 17!
RAP, GRIME AND SAUCEGOD
Known for his assured flow, his generosity towards young talents and his role as a teacher in the show Nouvelle École, Booba’s protégé and pillar of the 92i label, SDM, will make his first appearance at Dour Festival this summer with “À la vie à la mort” up his sleeve, his new album that recently shot up the charts.
The pillar of English grime Stormzy announces its return to #DOUR25! The artist with a colossal career, model of a whole generation and recognised for his commitment to the black community, will take over the Last Arena for a show that promises to be nothing short of monumental!
Finally, we will welcome back Hamza: a man with a voice like no other and a one-of-a-kind flow. A trailblazer in Belgian rap, he has become a key figure in Francophone music today.
LIVE & INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
As usual, Dour Festival never ceases to give pride of place to live and instrumental music. Driven by his commitment to the Palestinian struggle, the artist Saint Levant will perform at Dour Festival for the first time, with his powerful universe made up of intimate, poetic and introspective music with multicultural sounds mixing Arabic, English and French. “From Gaza, With Love”.
As for Folamour, it’s all in the title. Folamour or one of the most beautiful crazy love stories of Dour Festival. From his first sets on the Lab stage to headliner at De Balzaal, there is only one step. Reflecting his meteoric rise, Folamour will be back in 2025 for an ambitious show!
Finally, the Australian band Parcels will be back next summer with a new album under their arm and their best seventies vibe mixing French touch and disco-pop grooves. See you on July 19 in front of The Last Arena.
DUBSTEP LOVERS
No Dour Festival would be complete without drum and bass, dubstep, riddim and other subgenres derived from bass music! Fans of big subs and basses will be served with the legends and pioneers of dubstep Skream & Benga, the coming of the little prince of UK bass from Nottingham BRU-C, the leading figures of the dubstep scene, Caspa b2b Rusko, who will seriously raise the temperature a notch on the De Balzaal stage before giving way to the American storm SVDDEN DEATH.
We’ll see you in early 2025 for the announcement of new names <3
Treat yourself, this is just the beginning of a long list! Barely 5% of the lineup has been unveiled.
DOUREUUUH!
