Terminal V 2025

Terminal V Festival is set to electrify Edinburgh once again on April 19th and 20th, 2025, at the Royal Highland Centre and Showground. This year's edition promises an expansive celebration of techno and electronic music, featuring over 100 world-class acts across six specially designed stages. With an expected attendance of 20,000 enthusiasts per day, Terminal V continues to solidify its position as one of Europe's premier techno festivals.

The 2025 lineup is both diverse and dynamic, showcasing a blend of renowned international artists and emerging talents. Headliners include the collaborative performance of Blawan and Helena Hauff, known for their experimental and raw techno sounds. Brutalismus 3000 will make their Scottish festival debut, bringing a unique fusion of gabber, post-punk, and techno. Other prominent acts include Deborah De Luca, Dax J x Daria Kolosova, and the high-energy duo Charlie Sparks x Parfait. The festival also welcomes back favorites like KETTAMA and introduces rising stars such as AZYR and Funk Tribu.

In a groundbreaking initiative, Terminal V is dedicating 'The Secret Stage' to spotlight over 30 emerging Scottish artists. This intimate platform, accommodating approximately 150 attendees, offers festival-goers the opportunity to discover local talents like Brad Herbert, Chromatic, and Eva. This move underscores Terminal V's commitment to nurturing Scotland's burgeoning electronic music scene and providing a launchpad for homegrown artists.

Enhancements for the 2025 festival include the transformation of the Hangar Stage into a massive 6,000-capacity, 360-degree arena. This innovative design allows attendees to surround the DJs, creating an immersive and intimate atmosphere. Additionally, the introduction of a stage hosted by FACE2FACE, a prominent European techno brand, promises unique 'face-to-face' sets that encourage artists to explore new sonic territories.

Tickets for Terminal V 2025 are available through the official festival website, with options for weekend passes and VIP upgrades. Given the festival's history of selling out rapidly, early purchase is highly recommended. Attendees can anticipate not only stellar musical performances but also state-of-the-art sound systems, immersive visual productions, and a community of like-minded music lovers. Terminal V 2025 is poised to deliver an unforgettable experience, celebrating the best of techno and electronic music in the heart of Scotland.
