Dekmantel announces first acts for 2025 festival
The Amsterdam electronic festival has announced its first lineup for its 11th year.
Dekmantel takes place from Wednesday, July 30th to Sunday August 3rd, after last year’s mammoth 10 days it returns to its regular schedule, platforming eclectic music in an electronic realm.
This year sees returning acts Jeff Mills, Four Tet, Avalon Emerson and Shanti Celeste with Amsterdamse Bos debuts for Richie Hawtin and Honey Dijon.
Floating Points is back for a collaboration, transforming the Greenhouse with his custom hi-fi Sunflower Sound System, and co-curate the stage lineup, including a 10-hour B2B set with Palms Trax.
In addition, two days Aan het IJ, includes an extensive conference program, will spotlight experimentalists and live acts such as Moritz von Oswald, Leftfield, Jlin, and Sega Bodega.
Some listed highlights:
- Moritz von Oswald performs the opening concert at Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk premiering Silencio with a 16-voice choir.
- Jeff Mills returns to live-score the film Metropolis Metropolis at EYE Filmmuseum.
- Richie Hawtin brings an exclusive performance on Dutch soil, reviving his 1995-2005 compilation series with DEX EFX X0X.

Thirty years since their last release, seminal Warp act The Sabres of Paradise return to the stage—performing in honour of their late founder, Andrew Weatherall. Representing Dekmantel’s own label roster, house trailblazers Steffi & Virginia deliver a one-off live performance, showcasing their forthcoming LP on the imprint, while multidisciplinary artist Polygonia will present the live debut of her upcoming Dream Horizons album.
