Whether you’re a seasoned festival-goer or a first-timer, Veld 2025 is set to be a summer highlight you won’t forget.

A Lineup That’ll Blow Your Mind

Veld 2025 boasts a star-studded lineup featuring some of the biggest names in electronic music. Headliners include Alesso, deadmau5, Tiësto, and Excision, alongside fan favorites like Dom Dolla, John Summit, Rezz, and Loud Luxury. The festival spans genres from house and techno to bass and trance, with acts like Cosmic Gate, Crankdat, Eli Brown, and Space Laces ensuring every stage is a vibe.

New additions like Gareth Emery on the Main Stage keep the energy fresh, while local Canadian talent such as Addy, Alkemy, and CPark bring homegrown flavor. With over 50 artists across three stages—Main Stage, Bass Stage, and the revamped Sirkus Stage—there’s something for every EDM lover. Check the full lineup and daily schedules on the Veld website to plan your must-see sets.

More Than Just Music

Veld is a full-on sensory experience. The Main Stage dazzles with cutting-edge sound and lighting, while the Sirkus Stage, upgraded with 30% more LED screens and a shaded truss, immerses you in house and tech house vibes. The Bass Stage cranks up the low-end intensity with 33% more subwoofer power and enhanced lasers for dubstep and trap fans. Interactive art installations, a variety of food vendors, and curated after-parties at venues like Rebel and DPRTMNT keep the party going late into the night.

Practical perks make Veld a breeze: the festival is cashless (tap-enabled cards only), and locker rentals come with universal phone chargers for single-day or weekend use. The Veld app offers set times, a site map, and scheduling tools to keep you on track. Plus, themed days—Neon Dream on Friday, Metallic Mood on Saturday, and Wild Side on Sunday—invite you to dress up and vibe with the crowd.

Why Veld 2025 is a Must

Since its debut in 2012, Veld has grown into a cornerstone of Canada’s festival scene, named after deadmau5’s track “The Veldt” and the open fields of Downsview Park. Past lineups have featured icons like Martin Garrix, Marshmello, and Steve Aoki, earning Veld a reputation for top-tier production and unforgettable moments. This year’s upgrades, from enhanced stages to a stacked lineup, make it bigger than ever.
