Pendulum, Mau P, Cinthie, Fadi Mohem & Baugruppe90 to play Monegros Festival

The Spanish Desert festival returns this July with a whopping lineup

On 26th July 2025, the Monegros Desert Festival once again transforms one of Spain’s most breathtaking landscapes into a party utopia. With 150+ artists, 13 stages, and a crowd of 50,000 ravers, non-stop for 32-hours.

For over three decades, Monegros has been a rite of passage for the most dedicated electronic music fans, blending world-class production with the raw beauty of the Aragonese desert. This year, organizers promise even more surprises, with new stages, collaborations, and creative concepts ensuring the festival continues to evolve.

“There are two types of Monegrinos: those who already are and those who don’t know it yet. This year, we’re waiting for all of them because we promise to outdo ourselves in every detail to bring you the festival of your lives.”

Cruz and Juan Arnau, Monegros Founders.

The festival has revealed its first 90 acts, spanning the full spectrum of techno, hard dance, house, hip-hop, and beyond. Leading the charge is Pendulum, the Australian electronic rock icons bringing their high-octane live show to the desert, marking their long-awaited return alongside their first album in over a decade.

Expect legendary techno pioneers Richie Hawtin and Laurent Garnier alongside the genre’s most exciting new forces: Nico Moreno, Oguz, I Hate Models, Vendex, Indira Paganotto, and Anthea. Vinyl wizard Héctor Oaks returns to his home crowd, while Blawan injects his signature industrial chaos into the desert.

Monegros programming ensures variety and depth across the lineup. Seth Troxler brings deep and groovy selections, while hardgroove legend Ben Sims and Berlin’s Queen of house Cinthie keep things funky. Spanish rap stars Foyone, Santa Salut, and Faena bring the heat, alongside reggae royalty Protoje. Meanwhile, trance legend DJ Tristan provides a spiritual journey under the desert stars.

For those who love a back to back, this year the festival boasts 26 B2B sets, including Adam Beyer B2B Ilario Alicante, Basswell B2B Only Numbers, and Blawan B2B SHDW. Debuting this year is the Face-2-Face DJ format, brought by viral brand 240km/h. This high-energy battle-style setup pushes DJs into a thrilling competition, elevating the art of the DJ showdown.

Some of the world’s most influential brands are hosting exclusive stage takeovers at Monegros 2025. Awakenings (Amsterdam) brings techno’s powerhouse brand, Brunch Electronik (Barcelona) delivers feel-good house and techno vibes, 24km/h (Hard Dance) offers rapid-fire BPMs and relentless energy, and Unreal (Germany) showcases the underground hard dance revolution.

This year also sees major infrastructure improvements, including new shaded areas and 80 water stations to combat the desert heat, dedicated ‘oases’ to recharge and relax, a digitalised locker system for security and convenience, and enhanced signage, restrooms, and cleaning services across the site.
