NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, Southern California
Friday, October 31 – Saturday, November 1

Insomniac Events and Escape Psycho Circus have announced the by stage lineups for the festival’s 2025 edition. This year, Escape will welcome a hauntingly vast lineup of over 90 globally renowned artists across 5+ immersive stages, including the debut of a brand new main stage that will redefine the heart of the festival’s production. 

Formerly known as The Grimm, Escape’s newly introduced main stage The Big Top will feature carnival lights that mask a dark secret where music and madness collide. The red ringmaster’s mechanical monkey that was once a thrilling sideshow has escaped its box and fuels the night with unstoppable energy. The Big Top will host top tier names such as Alesso, deadmau5, Deorro, Gryffin, Marshmello b2b DJ Snake, Eli Brown, Porter Robinson, and more.

Beyond the circus gates lies The Warehouse, a forgotten storage hall where the spirits of past shows remain restless. Friday’s haunting session hosted by Insomniac's house and techno focused brand Factory 93 brings Hannah Laing, Justin Jay, Bad Boombox, Pegassi, Mischluft, Panteros666, Ollie Lishman, Wes Mills, and Etari to the decks. On Saturday, RL Grimes’ label Sable Valley will be hosting a full takeover featuring What So Not, Rossy B2B Pauline Herr, Wavedash, Jawns, Moore Kismet, Control Freak, Godlands, Whethan, and Keenan Mathias, plus a secret guest appearance.

The third new stage, The Cage stands as a fortress of chains and chaos, ruled by the circus outcasts and hosted all weekend by Factory 93. Friday ignites with The Martinez Brothers, Vintage Culture, Nicole Moudaber B2B Ilario Alicante, Wakyin, Malóne, Airrica, and Sincerely, Manolo, while Saturday brings a blistering techno assault from Amelie Lens, Dax J B2B SPFDJ, Klangkuenstler, Southstar, Alignment, ONYVAA, and John Bryars.

The Feeding Grounds returns, with giant creepy crawlers beneath the soil, their centuries-old hunger awakened by a Basscon takeover on Friday, October 31. Hard-hitting heavyweights Angerfist, Kayzo, Brennan Heart, DJ Isaac, Mish, Dual Damage, Clawz B2B Luca Lush B2B Casska, Madgrrl, DØMINA, and Alyssa Jolee will rattle the earth with relentless beats. The lair reopens on Saturday, November 1, when Night Trip x Insomniac Records deliver hypnotic house grooves from Matroda, Chris Lorenzo, Walker & Royce, J. Worra, HNTR, Marco Strous, Tiffy Vera, and Papa Lu.

Another fan favorite, the Sewer District pulses with toxic bass as Bassrush curates a Friday lineup built for subterranean mayhem. ATLiens, Ray Volpe, Jessica Audiffred, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Virtual Riot, Layz, Sota, Eater, Zen Selekta, and Don Jamal will turn the underground tunnels into a storm of low-end energy.

This year, Escape invites its fans - aka Headliners - into a sprawling, fully immersive world where the journey descends into the twisted depths of a nightmarish realm of interactive spaces and surreal encounters. Among the chaos lurks the Ringmaster’s Troupe, a haunting ensemble of roaming performers who breathe life into every corner of the grounds. Towering art installations, neon-drenched environments, and explosive displays of fire, light, and sound transform the festival into a living, breathing fever dream. At the heart of the madness lies Crazy Town - a strange and spellbinding hub charged with supernatural energy.

Single-day and Two-day GA, GA+, and VIP passes are available now on the official website.

Escape Psycho Circus is an 18+ festival.

AMF REVIVES THE LEGENDARY II=I : KI/KI AND ARMIN VAN BUUREN UNITE FOR A UNIQUE B2B IN THE JOHAN CRUIJFF ARENA DURING ADE 2025

AMF, the world’s biggest nightclub during Amsterdam Dance Event, just announced the return of their renowned II=I (two is one) concept. This year, KI/KI will - next to her solo set - deliver a unique B2B set with Armin van Buuren during her AMF debut.

AMF has announced the return of its renowned II=I (two is one) concept for ADE 2025. This year, KI/KI and Armin van Buuren will join the stage together in a rare back-to-back performance in the Johan Cruijff Arena. The II=I series was first introduced in 2017 with Hardwell and Armin van Buuren, followed by Timmy Trumpet with W&W in 2019, and Afrojack with Nicky Romero in 2022. Each edition has become a highlight in AMF’s history, bringing two major forces together for a unique collaboration. The full line-up features Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, John Summit, KI/KI, Miss Monique, MORTEN, Oliver Heldens, Sara Landry, and Sub Zero Project, with an exclusive pre-show set by AfroSalto.

KI/KI and Armin van Buuren previously shared the stage for a back-to-back set in an intimate venue, a surprise performance that remains one of the most thrilling and unexpected moments in recent years, leaving fans eager for more on a bigger scale. Their contrasting styles, Armin’s long-standing mastery of uplifting trance and KI/KI’s forward-thinking approach rooted in the underground, creates a performance that feels both fresh and timeless. By reuniting at AMF, the pair are set to revisit that rare chemistry on a far bigger scale, bringing together two different generations of electronic music and two unique visions of the dancefloor. Their II=I performance will be a massive moment for both artists, playing to 40,000 fans for the biggest back-to-back ever in the ArenA during the celebration of 750 years of Amsterdam. It will showcase the diversity of sounds at ADE and cement AMF’s reputation as the place where genre boundaries disappear to create something truly unique.

“What began organically in the Bajes two years ago during ADE now evolves onto the AMF stage. Different place, same unstoppable energy. I can’t wait!” said Armin van Buuren.

KI/KI adds: "This feels like the perfect moment to merge our worlds together again, exactly 2 years later during ADE. I’m very happy to play my debut AMF show both solo and together with Armin at the epic Johan Cruijff ArenA. Get ready this is gonna be madness!!

Since 2013, AMF has been the biggest event during ADE, with 40.000 visitors and attracting audiences from around the world. By reviving II=I with KI/KI and Armin van Buuren, the festival continues its tradition of creating landmark moments in electronic music.

Tickets are on sale via amf-festival.com, with Early and Regular Tickets sold out already. Late Phase tickets are available and start at €110,00 ex. service fee. A limited number of Group Tickets are also available, with tickets for €100,00 ex. service fee for a group of four. 

CHARLOTTE DE WITTE CELEBRATES 15 YEARS OF TECHNO AT FLANDERS EXPO ON 6TH FEBRUARY 2026

She hosts 23,000 fans for an incredible night of techno in her hometown of Ghent.

Charlotte de Witte, the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer, will celebrate her fifteenth anniversary as an artist in 2026 with a major event at Flanders Expo. On Friday, February 6, 2026, she will host 23,000 fans for an incredible night of techno in her hometown of Ghent.
 
After a summer of headline performances at festivals like Tomorrowland and Dour, the ‘number one Techno DJ’ has deliberately chosen Ghent to mark this unique milestone. The bond between the city and the artist is strong: just last year, in consultation with the city council, de Witte surprised thousands of fans with a surprise performance on the Poeljemarkt, which drew 13,000 visitors.
 
During the Flanders Expo event, Charlotte de Witte will also present her highly anticipated debut album, which will be released on November 7th. The album is a personal tribute to club culture and the musical journey that has taken her from a local DJ to a global star.
 
"Returning to Flanders Expo to celebrate this incredible milestone feels like coming home," says Charlotte de Witte. "This event is more than just a party; it's a moment for the community we've built together over the past fifteen years. I can't wait to share this special moment with everyone."

Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, September 24 at 18:00 PM via livenation.be. Fans who register in advance via charlottedewitte.com/ghent will get access to an exclusive presale on September 23.
