In 2025, for the second consecutive year, BBC Radio 1 Dance X will take the reins, bringing an electrifying mix of house, tech, and garage sounds to the beachfront.

The lineup for this year’s launch event is stacked with talent, featuring Chloé Caillet, Chris Stussy, Danny Howard, Eliza Rose b2b Sarah Story, LP Rhythm, and Paige Tomlinson. With a backdrop of crystal-clear waters and a crowd ready to dance from sunset to sunrise, the beach party is perfect way to usher in another unforgettable edition of Hideout.

They will join an already star-studded lineup that includes Alan Fitzpatrick, Benga, Bou, Eats Everything, Hannah Laing, Kettama, Overmono (DJ), Patrick Topping, Paul Woolford, Skream, Solardo, and Special Request. Festival residents and partners such as Big Reg, Devote, MC AD, Nicola Bear, North Base, and Sisu Crew will also be on hand to keep the energy high throughout the five-day event.

Spanning across Noa, Papaya, Kalypso, Aquarius, and Euphoria, Hideout’s venues offer everything from poolside anthems to all-night raves under the stars. The party doesn’t stop at the clubs, with legendary boat parties taking the experience out onto the Adriatic Sea.

Beyond the music, Hideout delivers an action-packed summer escape. Festivalgoers can take part in high-adrenaline water sports, from jet skiing to banana boat rides, or experience the famous Zrce Beach bungee jump. For those looking to recharge, the festival offers a more laid-back side, with massages, cocktails, and a range of food vendors available right on the beachfront.
