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.
