Les Plages Électroniques are back for their 18th edition, ready to break records once again. After three sold-out days in 2024 with 60,000 attendees, 90 artists and performers, and countless hours of live music still resonating on the beach of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, the festival is unveiling the first names for its line-up—all set to perform on the festival's Main Stage.

More than just a Beach Party, Plages Électroniques has established itself as one of the major summer events in France and in Europe across three days. Coming from all over Europe to dance with their feet in the water, in the sand, or in the Palais des Festivals, the public will be able to enjoy the multiple stages which include the beach, a rooftop and on the terrace of the Palais des Festivals, a stage on the water, an after party inside the Palais des Festivals and daily boat parties on a catamaran, for a non-stop party that runs from 2pm to 5am.

The six stages of Les Plages Électroniques will once again host a diverse array of artists, pushing decibels above the Croisette for what promises to be an incredible edition. First amongst the names is CHARLOTTE DE WITTE, a trailblazer in electronic music who continues to dominate charts, magazine covers, PEGGY GOU has gone from underground sensation to global dance music icon and represents one of the most recognizable names in the international scene. TIËSTO is a living legend of electronic music and Grammy winner who will perform his only French date of the summer. ERIC PRYDZ, famous for the hit Call on Me and his visually stunning performances, brings his uniquely produced electronic music to the festival. 

FRANCIS MERCIER, with over 75 million streams, blends culturally rich and melodic house sounds that have landed him collaborations with major names like Diplo and Major Lazer, French DJ and producer KUNGS rose to global fame with chart-topping hits and international recognition will join forces with PURPLE DISCO MACHINE. 

BOOBA is one of the most influential rappers on the French scene and will take the Cannes sands this summer for his only date in southeastern France. With a career spanning two decades, 10 albums, multiple certified singles, and records including gold, platinum, triple platinum, and diamond, he remains an unparalleled icon in French rap while LUIDJI also brings some first class rap sounds. JERSEY, brothers Carl and Renaud, captivate audiences with their high-energy performances and innovative sound that bridges French Touch and indie rock and finally for now, TRYM, Paris' hottest DJ, brings his "Rave of the Future" to Cannes.

The Time Warp team's dedication to the scene, proclivity for world-class programming, and hyperfocus on production details is second to none. This is why it has stood as one of the world's leading underground events for more than three decades. Each year, people from more than 170 countries flock to Mannheim, a UNESCO City of Music - revellers can take their pick from the different floors on the Maimarkt site in Mannheim, each of which boasts its own signature look, sound, and feel. From the fairground halls with their intense club vibe, to the immersive tent floors, and the iconic Glass Pavilion where you dance into the sunrise, Time Warp Mannheim offers an unforgettable journey through five uniquely captivating stages.

Musically, Time Warp 2025 once again leads from the front with a discerning blend of sounds from across the spectrum. Leading the charge are returning Time Warp heroes and techno pioneers including Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, and Nina Kraviz.

For a dark, powerful take on techno, influential new school Belgians Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte both step up having headlined every major event in the world over the last year, while afro house titan Black Coffee brings his lauded sounds alongside the emotionally charged trance of DJ Heartstring.

There will be some exclusive back-to-back specials with Mischluft b2b Pegassi, Dixon b2b Chloé Caillet, and underground favourites Adiel b2b Quest, sure to serve up a host of surprises as they dig deep into their coveted repertoires.

Meanwhile the fearless and authentic HE.SHE.THEY. and ANTS resident SYREETA also steps up, as well as Berlin party starter Patrick Mason, the hard edge and psyched-out sounds of Australian HAAi, Dutch techno trendsetter KI/KI, plus euphoric techno, house and disco star Sedef Adasï, and many more to come.

New technology and concepts make every edition fresh and exciting with a spell-binding mix of light, video, architecture, and art, making for sensory stimulating experiences like no other. This year's April event will take place across five floors, the fifth a combination of two smaller floors combined into one larger meticulously produced area.

As Time Warp enters its 31st year, it will continue to do what it has always done best: lead from the front with mesmerising and innovative production, and an eclectic mix of electronic sounds from the most compelling performers in the scene.
