World stars, news and surprises: what will you experience at Beats for Love 2025?
In just six months, the industrial area of Dolní Vítkovice will dance to the powerful beats of electronic music and tens of thousands of Beats for Love lovers and supporters will visit Ostrava. The eleventh edition of this unique dance event will once again welcome a legion of world-class stars, and the organisers are planning a number of changes and innovations that are sure to delight all visitors.
“We’re thrilled with the names we’ve managed to get for next year’s festival. The programme will traditionally be varied in terms of the range of dance styles and genres and the personalities that will visit us this year. Cool performances are promised by the giants of dance heaven as well as fresh talents. I admit that I myself would struggle to choose what will be a priority for me in the line-up,” says programme director Jiří Ramík.
One of the highlights of the programme will certainly be the world premiere of a special b2b set, a show by one of the best drum and bass DJs in the world, A.M.C, with singer Katie from the Koven project. “You will not experience this show literally anywhere else in Europe in 2025, only at Beats for Love,” adds Ramík.
Brazilian EDM DJ and producer Zerb will bring a big dose of innovation and exotics, while the renowned representative of the Berlin scene, DJ and producer Ben Klock, will present a minimalist and strict approach to techno. Another legendary star from Germany is Chris Liebing, who like Ben Klock will contribute his bit to the festival techno mood. The star duo Camo & Krooked will be coming from neighbouring Austria, and lovers of harder styles will be delighted by the Dutch star Brennan Heart.
The British scene will be represented by Metrik, popular dancehall MC Flowdan, the irreplaceable Benny Page and DnB legend Sub Focus. From Chicago will come house music icon Gene Farris, who has been tirelessly pushing the boundaries of the genre for almost three decades. One face, two pseudonyms and two different genres, this is the story of the artist ARTY/ALPHA 9, who will present his double performance straddling the genres of EDM and progressive trance.
The stunning transformation of festival design
The absolute innovation is the transformation of the venue, which the organisers are going to present in the spring. “What we are planning is an unprecedented and unique approach to festival design in our region. We want our visitors to enter several fictional worlds at the same time, which will stimulate their imagination and multiply the festival experience,” says festival director Kamil Rudolf.
Interest in attending the festival grows continually
The organisers recommend that you buy your tickets early. “For example, the tent city with tents for 8 people is already completely sold out and the capacity is running out every day,” adds Rudolf. All practical information and the possibility to buy tickets online for the festival and the campsites can be found on the website www.b4l.cz/en/.
