As summer draws to a close, the techno faithful prepare for a pilgrimage to Spaarnwoude, where Wooferland Festival returns to Deelplan Houtrak on September 6, 2025. This year's lineup fuses a reverence for dance music history with fresh currents in electronic sound, spotlighting genre-defining pioneers and contemporary innovators alike. On the bill, Italian legend Mauro Picotto brings his signature melodic techno anthems, while UK house duo Phats & Small deliver the kind of energy that shaped a generation.
Da Hool, the architect behind anthems central to late-90s dance floors, joins alongside Lenny Dee, whose New York-born techno is ingrained in the DNA of global rave culture. Westbam, synonymous with Berlin’s evolution, returns to Dutch soil alongside Tom Wax, Marcel Woods, and trance luminary Johan Gielen, channeling decades of festival mainstage moments. Eddie Amador’s soulful beats, Airwave’s progressive journeys, and the harder-edged selections of Luna and Pavo ensure every spectrum of sound is covered.
The homegrown Dutch scene is present and correct with Lucien Foort, Erick E, Funkerman, Jean, Alexander Koning, ROOG, Klubbheads, and Dave Leatherman, reflecting the vibrant spirit and innovation of the local underground. Dimitri, ISIS, An Gelo, JP, Rossi, Paul Sparkes, and Capricious round out a lineup that speaks to both the roots and futures of techno and house. Set among Spaarnwoude’s lush fields, Wooferland Festival serves as a convergence point for aficionados and newcomers alike, capturing the essence of communal dancefloor euphoria under open skies.
With its storied history, robust lineup, and singular setting, Wooferland is poised to celebrate club culture’s enduring resonance in 2025.
