Darkness descends on Saint-Étienne this December as Dystopia Festival 2025 returns for its fourth and most expansive edition yet. Taking place on December 5 and 6 at the colossal Parc Expo de Saint-Étienne, this two-night celebration of hard music and cutting-edge techno will bring together over 40 genre-pushing artists across two high-powered stages. With a run time of 20 nonstop hours, Dystopia 2025 is set to become one of France’s most unrelenting and electrifying electronic events of the winter season.
Spread across 10,000 square meters of industrial space, the music festival boasts two massive stage zones—one dedicated entirely to Hard Music, the other to a dynamic spectrum of Techno. Friday night features a thunderous lineup with names like Angerfist Live, Anime, N-Vitral, Cryogenic, Hysta, and Major Conspiracy igniting the Hard Stage, while OGUZ, CARV, M4ze Pusher, and Vieze Asbak lead the charge on the Techno front. On Saturday, the energy surges again with Sub Zero Project, Adjuzt, Dual Damage, and TNT (Technoboy & Tuneboy) commanding the Hard Stage, alongside ECZODIA, Acidpach, KX CHR, and a secret headliner promised to surprise on the Techno side.
Beyond the music, Dystopia enhances the experience with a festival layout designed for both intensity and comfort. Attendees can take advantage of a chill-out zone, expansive food court, and dedicated artist meet-and-greet spaces. The venue’s immersive light show and reinforced sound systems guarantee a full-spectrum sensory assault, turning the Parc Expo into a dystopian dreamworld for two unforgettable nights.
Easily accessible from major cities like Lyon, Paris, and Grenoble, the venue is located just off exit 14 on the A72. Whether you’re a die-hard hardstyle veteran or a lover of raw techno’s darker textures, Dystopia 2025 offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in an underground culture that thrives on extremes.
With previous editions hosted in La Roche-sur-Yon, Mulhouse, and Rennes, this year’s Saint-Étienne edition promises to elevate the Dystopia experience to new levels. From 6PM to 4AM each night, expect no compromises—just pure, unrelenting sound.
