On 27, 28 and 29 June 2025, Paradise City Festival returns to the idyllic gardens of Castle Ribaucourt in Perk, Steenokkerzeel, for a special 10th anniversary. With seven stages, Paradise City attracted a record number of over 43,000 visitors last year. In addition, the festival was awarded as the world’s most sustainable music festival at the prestigious A Greener Festival Awards. Despite its growth, Paradise City remains true to its core values: quality music, innovative stage productions and a leading commitment to sustainability. At the start of ticket sales last week, all camping tickets flew out the door within 24 hours. And in less than a week, Saturday tickets were also sold out – a flying start and an absolute record for Paradise City. Today, the organisers have announced the first part of the line-up:
berlioz – Bibi Seck & FAISAL – Chris Stussy – Christian AB & Quest – DESIREE – EMILIJA & Odymel – Eris Drew & Octo Octa – Freddy K – Glass Beams – Jeff Mills presents Tomorrow Comes The Harvest feat. Jean Phi Dary and Prabhu Edouard – KETTAMA – KI/KI – Kirollus – Laurent Garnier – Mia Koden – NTO & Joachim Pastor (live) – Orbital (live) – Pegassi – Tama Sumo & Lakuti – Theo Parrish – Young Marco
Last week, the organisation announced that extra places on the bill this summer have been reserved for legendary veterans from the international dance scene. For its tenth anniversary, Paradise City wants to honour the founding fathers of electronic music and, at the same time, look ahead by offering new talent a stage. It will be a meeting of generations, full of energy and creativity.
With Orbital (live), Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Tama Sumo & Lakuti, Theo Parrish, and Freddy K, the first pioneers are already known. These artists will show everyone why they are considered true house, techno and dance icons.
The future generation of superstars will also be on hand. With a closing set on the Castle Stage on Friday by Pegassi and on Saturday by Odymel & EMILIJA, Paradise City puts Belgian rave and trance talent in the biggest spotlight. KI/KI, KETTAMA and Young Marco are also not to be missed by those who love fast and hard beats. With DESIREE, Kirollus, berlioz, Bibi Seck & FAISAL, a significant portion of groovy house, disco and funk is on the programme. Anyone who has ever seen international DJ phenomena Chris Stussy and Octo Octa & Eris Drew at work will certainly not miss out. Finally, there is the Concert Hall, one of six stages dedicated to live performances. Fans of psychedelic rock, such as Khruangbin, can look forward to Australia’s Glass Beams.
