Germany’s influential Docklands Festival unveils huge lineup for huge 15th anniversary edition
Docklands Festival marks its 15th anniversary on 31 May 2025 with nearly 24 hours of continuous music. There will also be updated designs across four stages that cover house, techno, trance and tech with top-tier international artists.
Set in the urban surroundings of Münster’s Hawerkamp industrial grounds, Docklands Festival is an urban oasis that combines open-air stages and high spec production with a music-first policy and no barriers which means dancers get up clause and personal with the DJ. In 2024, the festival was named Best German Electronic Music Festival by GROOVE Mag and has grown year on year since 2010 so that now around 15,000 visitors attend.
This year’s lineup includes the return of house hero Solomun, his first appearance at Docklands since 2016, alongside a back-to-back set from ÂME and DJ Holographic. Other guests include Gerd Janson, Juliet Sikora, Patrick Mason, WhoMadeWho (Hybrid DJ Set), Young Marco, and debut performances from Alinka, Alis b2b Trancemaster Krause, Ava Irandoost, Dana Montana, Fka.m4a, Johannes Brecht (Live), Joyce Muniz, Kalte Liebe (Live), Kristin Velvet, Kolter, Supergloss, and more.
A number of changes are planned for the 2025 edition with the former Tree Stage - which is found next to an old railing - renamed the Rail Stage and will be hosted by famous diverse party and label collective HE.SHE.THEY. and Kittball Records. The Kamp Stage, dedicated to hard techno and neo-trance, returns to the courtyard of Sputnikhalle under the curation of MINT.
A food court, merch stands and designated chill-out areas all make this a perfect escape with plenty of accommodation options in nearby Münster.
