Fresh Start Releases First Wave of Artists for 2025 Edition

Charlotte de Witte, Chris Lake, Cloonee, ZHU, The Blessed Madonna, Enrico Sangiuliano, Matroda, Austin Millz, and more are set to play Fresh Start this year.

Fresh Start is the place to be if you’re looking to dance your way into the early hours of 2025 and start next year off on the right foot. This multi-day festival has won over the hearts of house and techno lovers in San Francisco over the years, with editions at The Midway SF featuring banging lineups and more. The upcoming celebration is set to take place on December 31 and January 1, and the first wave of artists announced on the lineup will surely turn heads.

The artists slated to play on New Year’s Eve offer plenty of heat to keep you warm. Charlotte de Witte will headline the night’s festivities and pack a punch with her dynamic techno tunes. Joining the KNTXT boss won’t be alone, though; she’ll be joined by a star-studded cast that includes The Blessed Madonna, Enrico Sangiuliano, ESSEL, Matroda, and Wuki. Cloonee will also be present to help guide everyone through the final sunset of the year with his incredible house grooves.

Once you’ve recovered from the party the night before, it will be time to get your body moving to start 2025 off with a hearty helping of house and more. Chris Lake is slated to play the sunset set that day and is sure to provide plenty of shuffle-worthy tunes along the way. ZHU is set to return to Fresh Start for another dynamic performance, while Disco Dom (Dombresky) will light the dancefloor on fire. Add in the sets from Austin Millz, Justin Jay, and J. Worra, and you’ve got the recipe for a proper experience at The Midway you won’t soon forget.
