About

Under the starlit skies of Sozopol, Bulgaria, EXE Beach Festival 2025 is preparing to ignite Cacao Beach once again with its bold return on July 25–27 and August 1–3. As one of the most cherished open-air events in the region, this music festival merges sun-drenched shores, early morning beats, and a thrilling sense of underground unity. Set against the backdrop of Bulgaria’s Black Sea coastline, the event stretches over two full weekends, each night running from 22:00 to 07:00, making it a proper sunrise celebration for electronic music lovers.

This year marks a major milestone: the beginning of a new decade for EXE. The collaboration with the legendary Cacao Beach Club elevates the festival’s reputation, bringing its signature high-energy production and carefully curated lineups to an international level. The 2025 edition showcases a massive roster of global and regional talent. Among the heavyweights: techno pioneer Chris Liebing, dynamic selector Anetha, the charismatic Patrick Mason, industrial favorite Sara Landry, and boundary-pusher Maceo Plex. Also featured are Joseph Capriati, Enzo Siragusa, ALT8, Caravel, Beltran, and Fleur Shore — all names that define the pulse of contemporary club culture.

Five intense nights across two weekends offer distinct vibes and sonic narratives. Local icons like Pavel Petrov, Son of Son, Pepou, Bagerziev, and the electrifying duo Balthazar & JackRock add a unique Balkan flavor to the experience, bridging the global and local scenes with finesse. Each stage is meticulously designed with immersive lighting, bold visual concepts, and beach-integrated setups that let the sea breeze blend with every bass drop.

EXE’s identity goes beyond the music. It’s about the emotional release of dancing barefoot at sunrise, the freedom of losing yourself in rhythm beside strangers-turned-friends, and the magic of electronic culture amplified by nature. As the sun breaks over the Black Sea and the beat still thumps, it becomes clear: EXE Beach Festival 2025 isn’t just an event — it’s a rite of passage for any true fan of the scene.
