Renowned for its breathtaking production and immersive storytelling, Transmission Festival is slated to return on April 12, 2025, once again bringing an unparalleled trance spectacle to the GelreDome Stadium in Arnhem, The Netherlands.
As the only European edition of Transmission in 2025, the highly-anticipated event solidifies its place as one of the most sought-after trance festivals in the world. With another stellar initial lineup under its belt, featuring Cosmic Gate, Craig Connelly, Daxson, Digital Culture, Driftmoon, Gouryella, Markus Schulz, and Paul van Dyk, music lovers can expect a journey through the very essence of trance – and there are still more artists yet to be announced.
Headlining the festival is Ferry Corsten’s Gouryella, marking the 25th-anniversary celebration of the legendary project that helped define the genre. Joining him is the iconic Paul van Dyk, whose timeless anthems shaped trance’s golden era, alongside Markus Schulz, whose progressive soundscapes will fill the GelreDome’s massive indoor arena.
Cosmic Gate will deliver a fusion of evolution and nostalgia, while Digital Culture, the powerhouse duo of Richard Durand and RAM, will showcase their signature techno-trance fusion. Craig Connelly, known for his #1 albums and chart-dominating tracks, will bring his emotive, high-energy sound, and rising UK star Daxson will represent the genre’s bright future with his fresh take on trance. Returning from a standout 2024 Transmission performance, Driftmoon is set to guide fans through a “vintage pure trance” journey, honoring the timeless sounds that laid the foundation for today’s scene.
Staying true to its legacy of immersive, cinematic experiences, Transmission 2025 will transform the GelreDome into a dreamlike realm, powered by cutting-edge technology, mind-blowing special effects, and masterfully designed stage production. The 9-hour festival – taking place from 2 PM to 11 PM – will craft a nighttime spectacle during the day, with each set preceded by a custom-designed intro, creating a seamless flow of energy that builds throughout the event. The GelreDome’s state-of-the-art facilities serve as the perfect backdrop for Vision Impossible’s world-class visual storytelling, ensuring an awe-inspiring experience for attendees.
