Solar Weekend (Roermond, Netherlands) 2025

About

Every summer, a burst of color and creativity takes over the shores of Roermond — and in 2025, Solar Weekend returns from July 31 to August 3 with four days of music, art, chaos, and pure expression. Set along the serene waters of the Maasplassen in the Netherlands, this music festival isn’t just about sound — it’s a full-spectrum experience where visual arts, performance, and play collide with electronic beats and live energy.

Originally launched as a creative concept festival, Solar Weekend has grown into one of the Netherlands’ most dynamic multi-genre events. From techno to hip-hop, house to drum & bass, the lineup showcases a wide range of talent across an array of themed stages. This year’s artist roster includes standouts like Boys Noize, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Netsky, Ronnie Flex, David Vunk, Joey Daniel, Lucky Done Gone, and Philou Louzolo, along with dozens of rising acts and unexpected b2b sets. Each zone, from high-energy dance floors to quirky chillout spots, is designed to match both your musical cravings and your wildest moods.

But Solar Weekend isn’t just about who’s playing — it’s about how the world around you transforms. Each edition revolves around a central theme, reflected in everything from stage design and interactive installations to the costumes, street theatre, and immersive activities. Think water battles, paint zones, karaoke jungles, fairground rides, and art collectives building entire villages from scratch. It’s an evolving playground where no two hours — or corners — look the same.

The festival grounds, located just outside Roermond, provide the perfect balance between nature and creativity. With camping areas offering lakeside views and late-night zones for the after-after party, Solar creates a world that feels alive at all times of day and night. Whether you’re grooving to underground techno at the water stage or singing your lungs out in a surreal karaoke battle, there’s no script here — only experience.

At Solar Weekend 2025, you’re not just a spectator — you’re part of the show. So bring your weirdest costume, your loudest laugh, and your most open mind. This isn’t just a festival. It’s a reality flip waiting to happen.
