Tomorrowland 2025: Enter the World of Orbyz

Tomorrowland never disappoints, and this year, the festival is taking things to a whole new level with its "Orbyz" theme. Picture icy landscapes, mythical creatures, and an atmosphere that feels straight out of a sci-fi movie. With headliners like Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, and Charlotte de Witte, it’s set to be a mind-blowing experience. It’s no wonder tickets sold out in record time.

Sónar Festival: Where Music Meets Art

Taking place in Barcelona from June 12-15, 2025, Sónar is blending music, tech, and art in a way that only they can. With acts like Nathy Peluso and collaborations with Boiler Room, this one is for the true music lovers who want a little more than just a mainstage experience.

🔗 Festival Fit Alert: Sónar’s all about mixing different elements of art and sound, so we created the "Immersed in Sound" hoodie—featuring a silhouette lost in waves of color and soundwaves, inspired by the festival’s unique vibe.

What’s Trending in the EDM Scene?

Beyond the festivals, EDM is going through some major shifts. Some trends to keep an eye on this year:

1. The Return of Big Room House

Remember the golden era of mainstage anthems? It’s coming back. Big Room House is surging in popularity again, with a 188.9% increase in Splice downloads. Artists are bringing back those high-energy drops, and we’re here for it.

🔗 Festival Fit Alert: If you live for that festival energy, check out our "Basslines & Skylines" design. A fusion of cityscapes and bass waveforms—because big city lights and booming basslines are a perfect combo.

2. High BPM Madness

Hard Techno, Drum & Bass, and Psytrance are thriving. If you’ve noticed more 160+ BPM tracks dominating festival sets, you’re not alone. People are craving fast, high-energy beats, and DJs are delivering.

🔗 Festival Fit Alert: For those who love their music fast and loud, we made the "High BPM, Higher Vibes" design—a vibrant, pulsating graphic that visually represents the speed and energy of these tracks.

3. Next-Level Visuals & Immersive Experiences

Festivals and club nights are going beyond just DJ sets. Expect even more holograms, AI-powered visuals, and 360-degree sound experiences in 2025. Anyma’s ‘End of Genesys’ residency at the Las Vegas Sphere is a perfect example—think stunning visuals and futuristic storytelling through music.
