The sonic narratives of MARKUS SCHULZ will unfold across the GelreDome’s massive indoor arena, where his progressive trance flair takes center stage. COSMIC GATE, virtuosos of evolution while honoring trance’s essence, promise an electrifying set, while the powerful techno-trance fusion of DIGITAL CULTURE – the collaborative project of genre mainstays RICHARD DURAND and RAM – will command the dancefloor with their distinctive sound. CRAIG CONNELLY, whose three #1 selling albums and prolific catalog of Beatport chart-toppers have earned him a place among trance’s elite, will also bring his touch to the GelreDome stage. Rising British talent DAXSON represents the genre’s future with his contemporary interpretation of trance sounds. Fresh from his spectacular appearance at Transmission 2024 in Prague, DRIFTMOON is slated to return with a specially curated “vintage pure trance” set – a nostalgic journey through the genre’s most influential era, promising to showcase an array of the timeless sounds that shaped the genre.
