Docklands Festival is back for its landmark 15th anniversary on May 31, 2025, promising nearly 24 hours of non-stop electronic music across four distinct stages. Set against the rugged charm of Münster’s industrial Hawerkamp grounds, this urban open-air festival remains a celebration of underground spirit, innovative production, and musical diversity.
This year’s lineup sees the return of Solomun, making his first appearance at Docklands since 2016, alongside a host of internationally acclaimed artists and emerging talents. Highlights include a rare b2b set from ÂME and DJ Holographic, plus performances from Gerd Janson, Juliet Sikora, Patrick Mason, Young Marco, WhoMadeWho (HYBRID DJ SET), and many more. Several live acts and back-to-back sets pepper the program, ensuring a varied and immersive experience for fans of house, techno, trance, and more.
Since its inception in 2010, Docklands has built a reputation as one of Germany’s premier electronic music festivals- recently earning the top spot in GROOVE Magazine’s 2024 Best Electronic Festival in Germany. What sets it apart isn’t just the music, it’s the intimacy. Docklands thrives on close encounters between DJs and dancers. There are no towering barriers or distant stages; just high-spec sound systems, cutting-edge stage design, and a crowd ready to connect.
The 2025 edition introduces some fresh changes: the Mainstage has been redesigned, the Kanello Stage embraces a more underground aesthetic, and the former Tree Stage is now the Rail Stage, located along an old railway line. The Rail Stage will be co-hosted by boundary-pushing collective HE.SHE.THEY. and renowned house label Kittball Records, while the Kamp Stage; known for hard techno and neo-trance continues its partnership with MINT.
