The first acts are revealed, and one thing is certain: this year’s edition of Shutdown Festival is already shaping up to be an unforgettable highlight this year.
On August 9, 2025, over 50 artists will once again awaken the Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant in Austria. 15,000 visitors, five stages, and twelve hours of pure Hard Dance energy, from midday to midnight. With the announcement of the first 13 artists, anticipation is reaching new heights.
One of the hottest Raw Hardstyle duos of the moment, DUAL DAMAGE, will perform for the first time at Shutdown Festival and directly on the Mainstage. The two Dutchmen have experienced a meteoric rise: in a very short time, they have produced numerous hits and toured across Europe and North America.
Another highlight is the highly-requested American artist LIL TEXAS. With his energetic performances, unmistakable Uptempo sound, and signature look, his name is truly a reflection of his style – he will make the Toxic Arena shake.
A takeover by the Raw Hardstyle label Gearbox has also been announced: The first two acts, THE STRAIKERZ and SO JUICE, have already been revealed, with more artists to follow soon. The first line-up is rounded off with other big names like COONE, NOISEFLOW, BARBER, PSYKO PUNKZ and many more.
