A second round-up of artists for #DOUR2025: ASCENDANT VIERGE, ACTION BRONSON, FREEZE CORLEONE, WALLACE CLEAVER, THEODORA, SARA LANDRY, SYLVIE KREUSCH....
After an explosive initial announcement, Dour Festival unveils a new wave of artists who will be setting the stages alight from 16 to 20 July. Hip-hop, electronic, pop, rock, indie… a programme as eclectic as it is frenzied, just like the most Doureuuuh festival of the summer.
It is now time to dive into the lineup and discover the first artists who will perform from July 16 to 20.
RAP, GRIME, SHATTA AND KONGOLESE SOUS BBL
Next summer, Dour Festival will vibrate with the anthem to the femininity of the moment “Kongolese sous BBL” with the Boss Lady Theodora but also with Maureen, the rising star of shatta from Martinique or Freeze Corleone, founder of 667 and a lover of technical rap. Oboy, back on stage with a new album, also joins the program as does the rising star of French rap Wallace Cleaver, the percussive flow and incisive punchlines of Leto and the wind of freshness that has gone viral on social networks aka Dina Ayada.
On the US side, “that’s gonna be delicious” with Action Bronson, a leading North American indie hip-hop artist, will make his return at Dour Festival, the boss Young Nudy made in Atlanta, and Cash Cobain, a new figurehead of New York drill, who has already collaborated with heavyweights like Lil Yachty, Chow Lee, and J. Cole.
Across the Channel, eyes will be on the arrival of Nemzzz, undoubtedly the rapper to follow this year. The 20-year-old rookie recently exploded with his hits “Elevate” and “2MS” and the release of his mixtape drill “DO NOT DISTURB”!
Finally, meet Glints, who will prove that he is a rapper like no other. The edgy artist will perform hybrid rap that converges around electronic music, funk or soul.
TECHNO & HARDSTYLE
Dour Festival, now a temple of electronics and a must for all artists and fans of techno, house, electronica and all variations completes its programming with the Japanese DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, leader of the underground who deconstructs the codes of clubbing with a rare freedom. From free
jazz to gabber, he shapes a sonic chaos yet which is perfectly controlled and will have the honor of playing in closing of the Boombox Sunday late at night or early in the morning! He is joined by Sara Landry, an explosive force of hard techno and a sound alchemist who transforms hard techno sounds into transcendent experiences and by the English DJ and producer Azyr who will unfold an ultra-hit techno set.
They join Marlon Hoffstadt, Adriatique, Charlotte de Witte, Nico Moreno and Brutalismus 3000.
LIVE & MUSIQUE INSTRUMENTAL
As usual, Dour Festival never ceases to give pride of place to live and instrumental music. Welcome to the phenomenon Marc Rebillet, nicknamed Loop Daddy, who makes each of his performances as crazy as they are unique. He will perform for the very first time at Dour Festival, as will the Brazilian pop star Pabllo Vittar, the icon of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and the Spanish artist Judeline, who sings traditional up to the present like no one else and pushes the boundaries of pop.
Avant-garde and totally unique, the ascendant vierge French neighbors have
chosen Dour Festival for an exclusive date in Belgium. See you on July 19 in front of The Last Arena 🤯 for a moment of anthology. Always on the side of the French neighbors, meet the cold wave and surf music of La Femme, the synthwave rhythm loops of Carpenter Brut and Last Train, the spearheads of current French rock for a rock concert of rare and formidable intensity.
Finally, in Belgium, Antwerp artist Sylvie Kreusch returns to Dour Festival with a new album and a magnetic live show.
They join Saint Levant, Folamour and Parcels
DUBSTEP LOVERS
No Dour Festival without drum and bass, dubstep, riddim and other sub-genres derived from bass music! After announcing the arrival of Skream & Benga, Caspa b2b Rusko and SVDDEN DEATH, it’s the turn of Pendulum, one of the most emblematic drum and bass groups, to join the line-up for what promises to be an intense dj set!
