Germany’s MS Dockville returns in 2025 with a forward-thinking lineup, laying down the blueprint for another fearless exploration of electronic music at the iconic industrial riverside site. On August 15th, the festival brings together leading names and rising talents who embody the current spectrum of techno and kindred genres, bridging between deep, driving energy and shimmering digital atmospheres. This year’s curation reads like a cross-section of contemporary club culture.

Berlin’s Anja Schneider brings her signature blend of groove-fueled techno, while Anfisa Letyago’s kinetic presence delivers the heat from Naples to Hamburg. Mano Le Tough returns with his propulsive soundscapes, and DJ Tennis injects his seasoned, leftfield expertise into the weekend. BASHKKA and KASI reflect the new guard, each building anticipation for unpredictable, raw moments across the Dockville floors.

With sets from genre-blurring selectors like Sally C, TraumaMia, Esther Silex, and Kolter, the weekend pushes beyond boundaries—deep house, breakbeat, trance-laced techno, and undiscovered hybrids all find their place. Natascha Polké, Nissa Carrington, and Pretty Girl command attention with their vision, reimagining electronic rituals for the current generation. On top of the already formidable bookings, Township Rebellion, BAUGRUPPE90, and RSS Disco promise to thread the festival’s industrial backdrop with immersive sonic journeys.

Combining international icons and local risk-takers—Lou Velours, ABIBA, Love Defender, VABU—the 2025 edition expresses Dockville’s commitment to progressive programming. Expect immersive live acts from Fejká, An On Bast, and FI3BER alongside dynamic turntable tactics courtesy of EliaHaze, Cryptofauna, and Shari Who. As the docks ignite with neon and the Spree’s reflection pulses into the night, MS Dockville 2025 stands ready to chart new territory for the German festival landscape.
