Returning for their third year, Madruga, the music festival meets mansion party located in Herefordshire, is bringing some of the most in-demand names in underground house, techno, and beyond on 25th – 28th July 2025.

Their 2025 programme, once again, places some of the most sought-after artists in the world in an intimate setting, creating a rare opportunity to see them in a similar-sized space to where they first started.

The incredible Helena Hauff heads up the intricately curated line up, a rare occasion to see the revered selector in a truly intimate setting. Also joining her are label boss and record connoisseur Dr Banana, Berlin based DJ Ogazón, crate digger extraordinaire Christian AB, versatile LA selector Introspekt, the ever impressive Tristan da Cunha, party starter Lukas Wiglflex, underground hero Mella Dee, northern vinyl junkie KT and the up and coming Papa Nugs, plus many more.

There will also be several takeovers from trusted party/label brands such as one of London’s cult favourites, Cartulis, which will feature residents Unai Trotti, Vass, and Free Zing.

The limited-capacity festival birthed out of a group of friends’ love for intimate parties, is set to return to the iconic Baskerville Hall, Hay-On-Wye on the last weekend of July 2025. With stages both in and outside of the mansion, Madruga holds the venue’s rich rave culture history close to its heart, with an ode of celebration to the decades of parties that came before.

The weekend away in Hay-on-Wye is unlike any other small festival in the country with its unique outdoor and indoor-mansion offering, including on-site hotel rooms and breathtaking views of the Black Mountains of Wales. As well as 18 hours of music each day and night, at Madruga you’ll find a swimming pool and sauna for early morning rebirths, and an outside wellness retreat consisting of hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and a yoga & massage centre that overlooks the mountains. Inside the manor, you’ll discover an old-school pub with dartboards, pub quizzes, and bingo, all whilst serving draught favourites.
