Beats for Love 2025 reveals a new name: Megastar Axwell in Ostrava for the first time!

In just three months, the gates of the largest Central European electronic music festival will open again and Dolní Vítkovice in Ostrava will come alive with vibrant dance shows. The organisers have already announced a number of international names and this year, for the first time ever, Axwell, also known as a member of the legendary Swedish House Mafia, will perform on the main stage. What else will the eleventh edition of this ultimate outdoor party bring?

Axwell na Beats for Love

Axel Hedfors, performing under the stage name Axwell and co-creator of the successful Axwell Λ Ingrosso project, will perform in Ostrava for the first time in his career. “We are very happy that we managed to book Axwell for this year. It is almost symbolic that Beats for Love Universe will kick off with this musical supernova,” says Jiří Ramík, the festival’s programme director. Axwell, in collaboration with his colleagues, is the force behind such global megahits as “More Than You Know”, “Don’t You Worry Child” and “Sun Is Shining”. Throughout his career, he has won several awards at the prestigious DJ Awards and MTV European Music Awards, and has also received five Grammy Awards nominations.

Festival as a new world: the Beats for Love Universe

Another hot news of the 11th festival edition is the upcoming “Big Bang”, which will result in the creation of a completely new world called Beats for Love Universe. The festival grounds will transform into three new themed zones called Love Sphere, Space Sphere and Industrial Sphere, which will be connected by a main boulevard Pulse. “Beats for Love Universe is not just about the visual impact – it’s a new way to experience the festival. By entering the venue, you literally enter a new dimension. Our goal is not only to make it easier to navigate the grounds, but above all to bring visitors a stronger and deeper experience,” festival director Kamil Rudolf introduces the concept. The change will be reflected in all the installations, decorations and artistic performances that will be found literally on every corner.

More than 500 artists will light up this year’s line-up

In addition to Axwell, Beats for Love 2025 will also bring together many other stars who are among the top of the world’s electronic music scene. Legends and the hottest names of today will perform on 18 stages over four days. Trance lovers will be pleased, as Dutch legend Armin van Buuren will perform at the festival. The world’s best DJ duo, the brothers Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike from Belgium, will also deliver an unforgettable dance party. The Australian DJ and producer Timmy Trumpet, currently the 5th best DJ in the world according to DJ Mag TOP 100, or the charismatic singer with an unmistakable voice, John Newman, will not disappoint any true EDM enthusiast, while lovers of the house genre must not miss the set of the American performer John Summit.

Visitors will also enjoy the show of hitmaker Jax Jones or the legend of the British dnb scene, Sub Focus, who shaped the modern sound of this popular genre. Fans will also once again fall in love with Belgian magician Apashe, who will enchant the Love Stage by ČSOB with a brand new unforgettable cinematic show accompanied by a live orchestra.

An absolute specialty is also the unique world premiere set of top drum and bass producer A.M.C. with the queen of this genre Katie Geraghty from the Koven project. Fans will experience their unique b2b show in 2025 only at Beats for Love.”This year we wanted to offer a real balance. On the one hand, there are icons that all electronic music fans know, and on the other hand, names that are experiencing a huge rise and represent the future of the scene. Axwell is a dream come true for many electronic music fans, and John Summit shows where the genre can head. These unexpected fusions give Beats for Love a unique vibe,” adds Ramík.

Brace yourselves for the musical experience of the year

Each sphere and stage has its own character and energy. Interconnecting them creates the epic story of the Beats for Love Universe, which we want to share with our visitors during the four festival days,” adds Andrea Elízová, the festival’s marketing director.

Tickets are already on sale and due to the huge interest, the organisers recommend not to hesitate with the purchase. All information about the line-up, comfortable accommodation and festival events can be found on the official Beats for Love website at www.b4l.cz/en.
