Beats For Love 2025 reshapes the festival format with historic premieres and bold production

In just two months, Beats For Love will return to Ostrava for its 11th edition, promising more than a festival—it’s debuting an entire universe. With over 150 international acts across 18 stages, this year’s edition elevates Central Europe’s largest electronic event into a category of its own.

Leading the announcement, Axwell will perform in Ostrava for the first time following years of negotiations. He joins a heavyweight main stage lineup featuring Armin van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Timmy Trumpet, each delivering their distinct approach to dance music. Sub Focus will also headline, bringing his signature drum & bass energy. Meanwhile, Flowdan, fresh off his game-changing set with Skrillex at Ultra, brings his commanding presence to the stage, while John Summit, one of the scene’s fastest-rising stars, will showcase why he’s in such high demand.

Adding depth, A.M.C & Koven will unveil a tailor-made world premiere collaboration-combining rapid-fire drum & bass precision with emotionally charged live vocals. Also debuting is Used:Live, blending raw production with live instrumentation. Returning to Ostrava, Apashe will present his new show featuring a live brass band.

On the techno front, the reimagined Techno Dome by Proud will feature Richie Hawtin, Ben Klock, Chris Liebing, and DJ Rush, with enhanced visuals and sensory immersion defining the experience.

With the debut of the Beats For Love Universe – an immersive concept dividing the venue into Love, Space, and Industrial realms—the festival marks a turning point in its evolution. You can find more information and tickets here.
