Nation of Gondwana Festival 2025

The Nation of Gondwana Festival returns to Schönwalde-Glien, Grünefeld bei Berlin in summer 2025, ready to ignite the outskirts of Berlin with a wide-spectrum techno gathering. Known for its liberating open-air ethos and deep-rooted connection to the heart of Germany's rave culture, Nation of Gondwana once again assembles an adventurous lineup, intertwining heavyweight selectors with maverick live acts and future-facing favourites. Alexa D!saster, Andy Martin and the driving force of APOLONIA (4) set the energy for an ecstatic weekend, joined by Bennet (DE), the unfiltered sounds of Blasha & Allatt, and the subtle grooves from Caleesi b2b Sarah Kreis.

Legendary presence Chez Damier brings a dose of house history, while Clarisa Kimskii and Cotumo continue to push boundaries with their off-kilter rhythms. Der Dritte Raum’s live show promises another spellbinding journey, set against a backdrop of cascading forest and starlit skies. On the decks, DJ AYA, DJ MARIA., and underground mainstay DJ Nobu converge with the kinetic force of DJ SWISHA and the experimental approach of DON'T DJ.

DVS1 delivers his masterclass in techno hypnosis, while Edna Martinez and Eris Drew inject infectious global and high-vibration grooves. The floor pulses with local and rising talent—hear Fadi Mohem’s signature drive alongside selections from Felde, Gabrielle Kwarteng, and more. goldie (2) brings crate-digging curiosity, with Helena Hauff’s machine-funk and JAMera’s club cuts pushing sonics into unexpected territory. Berlin mainstays interlace with global nomads: Jesse G meets Job Jobse, while John Talabot’s arc of deep synths and Julio Paradise’s playful touch navigate leftfield nights.

Karete Bu and Katy De Jesus prep bass-heavy explorations, fused with the eclectic approaches of Natalie Robinson, Kid Simius, and LENI (DE). Genre lines blur as Lenxi and Mano Le Tough channel late night anthems, Marie Montexier and Monika Kruse shape peak moments, and Mor Elian introduces meticulously crafted textures. Alarico, Nadia Wise, NAHUEL and Newa deliver high-impact techno, oscillating from driving minimal to full-throttle rave.

The bill keeps expanding: oskø bridges electronic experimentations, Paquita Gordon conjures deep-night moods, Prom Night refines house traditions, while Punching Polly, Saoirse, Schorli, and CHOREOPHILA mix, blend and re-contextualize techno’s legacy. SHI (KE), Smoothie Operator, and krawallwitz join Soichi Terada’s inimitable live presence, Sportbrigade Sparwasser, Suse, Suze Ijó, Sven Dohse, Violetta (DE), Visky, Yen Sung, and 2 Girls 1 Club round out the cross-genre tapestry—each carving their mark across day and night. Set against the evocative landscape of Grünefeld, the 2025 edition of Nation of Gondwana channels its communal vision into three days and nights of immersive dance, communal freedom and raw electronic resonance—echoing the past and future of Germany’s open-air movement.
