Following two back-to-back sellouts, the third edition of Glasgow’s PRTY Festival will take over Braehead Arena for a full weekend of high-intensity rave energy. Known for transforming an ice hockey stadium into a full-scale techno arena, PRTY has quickly become one of the most talked-about festivals in the UK’s underground circuit.
Taking place over two days for the first time, this year’s festival will welcome 10,000 ravers to a lineup stacked with hard techno titans, fast-rising local names, and cutting-edge underground artists from across Europe.
Basswell, I Hate Models, and Restricted return as headliners, setting the pace for a high-BPM, no-holds-barred weekend. Joining them is Alex Farell – the Liverpool-born producer known for relentless, driving techno – and Yasmin Gardezi, one of Ireland’s fastest-rising names thanks to her high-energy, trance-influenced sets.
Also announced is dark techno favourite Pawlowski and a new generation of genre-blurring artists including Mika Heggemann, Holy Priest, and BIIA – all bringing raw, fast, and futuristic sounds to the arena.
Scotland’s own Jezza & Jod, co-founders of PRTY, return to the stage with their heavyweight club selections, alongside Aberdeen’s t e s t p r e s s and Cadzow, who continue to gain traction with their blend of techno, breaks and house.
Ireland is once again well-represented, with the euphoric hard techno of Black Traffic and groove-focused trance from Datsko. Rising European names CARV, Cleopard2000 and Fantasm join the bill, delivering everything from deep warehouse grooves to frantic peak-time energy.
The lineup also features forward-thinking names like Fenrick, PRADA2000, onlynumbers, and The Rocketman – each bringing unique takes on contemporary club sounds.
Founded in 2021 by five friends with a shared vision for no-compromise rave experiences, PRTY has grown from local party to international movement, drawing crowds from across the UK and beyond. With indoor and outdoor stages, immersive production, and a loyal community, PRTY Festival 2025 is shaping up to be its most ambitious edition yet.
