Blacklist Festival (Oberhausen, Germany) 2025

About

Blacklist Festival 2025 is set to return with full force on October 11, transforming Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany into a sanctuary of relentless techno energy and industrial vibes. Known for its raw atmosphere, heavy-hitting lineups, and deep connection to Europe’s underground scene, Blacklist has become a must-attend event for fans of hard techno, acid, and industrial-infused electronic music.

Hosted in the iconic Turbinenhalle, a former power plant turned world-renowned rave venue, Blacklist Festival brings together thousands of ravers from across the continent for a night of sonic intensity and immersive visual production. With a reputation for curating uncompromising lineups, the 2025 edition will push boundaries once again with a hand-picked selection of cutting-edge artists.

While the full lineup is yet to be released, past editions have featured standout names like I Hate Models, SNTS, Kobosil, 999999999, Paula Temple, Dax J, Clara Cuvé, and Shlømo—all artists known for pushing BPMs and testing limits with their genre-defying sets. Expect the 2025 roster to continue in this tradition, combining techno’s heaviest hitters with emerging underground talents from Germany and beyond.

The sound system at Turbinenhalle is custom-tuned for low-end frequencies and thunderous impact, ensuring every kick and synth pierces through the cavernous space. Add to this the signature Blacklist aesthetic—minimalist yet brutal visuals, strobes, smoke, and immersive lighting—and you’ve got a music festival experience that’s less about spectacle and more about raw, unfiltered intensity.

Blacklist Festival also offers more than just music; it’s a space that celebrates unity, inclusivity, and freedom of expression, rooted in a community of passionate ravers and creators. From the dancefloor to the chillout zones, the energy is intense but welcoming, designed for those who crave authenticity over mainstream.

Whether you’re a seasoned Berghain regular or a newcomer ready to dive into Europe’s darker electronic undercurrents, Blacklist Festival 2025 promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of hard techno culture.

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly—stay tuned to Blacklist’s official channels for lineup announcements and on-sale dates. October in Oberhausen is about to get loud.
