The Verknipt Festival 2025 Lineup is Hard Techno Heaven

Rebekah, Nico Moreno, Novah, Clawz, and Pawlowski are but a few of the DJs gracing the Verknipt Festival 2025 lineup.

Hard techno is all the rage post pandemic, and no other event promoter has grown as synonymous with the trend as Verknipt. After organizing what they declared the “biggest hard techno event ever” last year, the Dutch brand is under pressure to raise the bar on their annual festival. The lineup for Verknipt Festival 2025 is finally here, and it does not disappoint.

Set to take place in the Strijkviertel recreation area in Utrecht, Netherlands on June 7-8, Verknipt Festival will feature a bevy of hard techno headliners. Day one will see genre figurehead Nico Moreno perform, not to mention his contemporaries like Novah, Kruelty, Nikolina and Neon Graveyard — with the lattermost two artists playing back to back.

The following day, such Verknipt staples as Fantasm, Onlynumbers, Clawz, and Pawlowski will take the stage. Not only that, but Belgian industrial techno DJ Cancel will perform back to back with Rebekah, an artist who initially specialized in the heritage hard techno style but evolved in step with it as it came to incorporate more elements of hard dance after the pandemic.

The Verknipt Festival 2025 lineup does not exclusively cater to fans of hard techno, to be sure. The promoter — who did not start out as a techno-specific brand — promised “new stages, new sounds, same quality” in an Instagram post sharing the lineup. In a separate promotional video, Novah can be heard saying, “I think it’s super important to bring more genres into Verknipt. People will love it.”

Tickets to Verknipt Festival 2025 are currently on sale for €105.55 plus a €4.50 fee. Purchase yours and find additional information on the Verknipt website.
