SonneMondSterne XXVII (Saalburg-Ebersdorf, Germany) 2025

Every August, an unforgettable transformation takes place on the shimmering shores of Bleilochtalsperre: SonneMondSterne Festival—Germany’s iconic celebration of electronic music—returns for its 27th edition from August 8–10, 2025 in Saalburg-Ebersdorf. Set across open-air beach stages, forest paths, and massive hangars, SMS XXVII invites thousands of ravers to experience 48 hours of non-stop beats, surrounded by water, lights, and a sense of freedom that defines the European summer festival spirit.

This year’s lineup is nothing short of colossal. Friday night kicks off with hypnotic live shows and blistering DJ sets from names like Anyma, Boris Brejcha, Angerfist, Brutalismus 3000, KI/KI, Funk Tribu, and I Hate Models, alongside breakout talents such as Clara Cuvé, Friction, Marlon Hoffstadt, and Nusha. Meanwhile, Saturday will ignite with powerhouse acts including Charlotte de Witte, Paul Kalkbrenner, Scooter, Reinier Zonneveld (LIVE), and Ben Böhmer (LIVE)—with support from melodic craftsmen like Fideles, bass-driven duos Camo & Krooked, and genre disruptors like Kobosil, CLTX, and Stella Bossi.

With over 150 acts across two days, the festival seamlessly blends techno, house, drum & bass, hardstyle, trance, and pop-infused electronica, creating a truly inclusive sonic adventure. Add in beachside stages, boat parties, and sunrise raves, and it’s clear why SMS is a must for global dance music lovers.

But it’s not just about the music. SMS is known for its next-level production, visual installations, and communal energy. Whether you’re camping lakeside with friends or dancing into the dawn at the main stage, the atmosphere here is electric, welcoming, and intensely euphoric.

SonneMondSterne XXVII is more than a weekend getaway—it’s an immersive world of rhythm and celebration, where your favorite artists meet your future favorites, and every moment is a beat worth remembering.
