Germany’s leading bass festival Blacklist is back at the mighty Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen on October 11th 2025. An epic line up of more than 50 heavy dubstep, trap and drum & bass stars from across the globe has now been revealed to play 12 hours across four stages for 7000 ravers in an unmissable day of heavy rhythms and earth shattering bass. Tickets range from 45 – 85€ and are available from https://blacklist-festival.com/.
Oberhausen’s Blacklist Festival is unique in Germany as the only festival that caters to real bass heads. It is a tasteful and in-the-know celebration of sounds across the low end spectrum for fans in Germany but also across Europe. It has become the biggest brand for bass culture in Germany and hosts scene-leading shows of the highest caliber. It now boasts a community loyal to the core and its own unique take on bass culture that always comes to the fore.
For one day only, Blacklist transforms the Turbinenhalle into a party paradise. The huge warehouse has four floors and is packed with mind-boggling production, lights, lasers, visuals and of course super seized sound systems that deliver bass with real weight, punch and clarity.
The first wave of names includes Black Tiger Sex Machine who will be playing their first European date of the year. The Canadian trio are known for their apocalyptic, cinematic live shows and a hard-hitting fusion of electro, bass and sci-fi storytelling. Meanwhile, genre-blending producer and vocalist Sullivan King merges metalcore intensity with dubstep and EDM energy, whilst the legendary DJ Snake presents: The Outlaw – an alias showcasing the darker, heavier sound that he debuted at Lost Lands last year.
Also playing is dark and aggressive dubstep don Code: Pandorum, French bass house innovator Habstrakt, tearout riddim star Hurtbox, dubstep veteran Modestep who will deliver a DJ set of classics, plus the dark, experimental dubstep and glitchy textures of Nimda and masked drum & bass maestro Reaper, plus many more to come.
Blacklist Festival marks Germany’s most essential celebration of bass music and 2025 is already shaping up to be an epic edition.
