Until then, just know we’re sending all the good vibes your way. 2025 will be your year, no matter what. And while we’re on the topic…
Martin Garrix, Please Drop Your ID with Alesso
Martin you’re awesome and we’re always here to support you. But, we’re begging you—release that “In Our Hearts” ID with Alesso already. You know the one that’s living rent-free in our heads and etched into our EDM wishlist for 2025. Since we get three wishes (it’s the rule, obviously), how about acoustic versions of “Told You So” and “High on Life” too? You’ve spoiled us with hits, brought us along the ride, and proud of you for being the No. 1 DJ in the world. But the tracks would definitely make our year. We’re keeping our hopes high. Pretty please?
Lavern’s “Told You So” Remix and a New Single?
Lavern, we see you teasing that “Told You So” remix, and honestly, it’s time to stop playing with our emotions. Ever since Martin Garrix and Jex released their latest hit, we’ve already been hooked. Now, you add a fresh take and we simply need more. It’s been in every EDM fan’s dreams, playlists, and 2025 wishlist since. Can we also talk about a new single? Spill the beans—we’re ready. Please don’t keep us waiting too long in the year to come.
Dutch House Mafia—Let’s Make it Official
Hardwell, Dannic, Dyro—hear us out. A Dutch House Mafia set. Just once. For the culture. Your solo projects? Iconic in every way, with Hardwell redefining bigroom, Dannic delivering groove-filled anthems, and Dyro pushing boundaries with hard-hitting drops. But together, legendary. A set like this would be a tribute to bigroom’s golden era, bringing back the energy that shaped many unforgettable festival moments. Make it happen in 2025, and we’ll show up front and center, guaranteed.
Lumix and Seth Hills B2B, Anyone?
Okay, picture this: Lumix and Seth Hills go B2B. Chaos. Pure energy. A total vibe. Their styles together would break sound systems and blow minds. Promoters, do us all a favor and make this a reality. We’re manifesting it for 2025 and on high priority on our EDM wishlist.
Skrillex, What Are You Up To?
Sonny, we need answers. New haircut, wiped Instagram, cryptic vibes—what’s going on? Beyond new music or projects we just hope you’re well and thriving. Skrillex, whatever you’re plotting, we’re ready for it. Just don’t keep us in suspense too long.
Zedd in Dubai? We know the perfect setting!
Zedd, it’s time to bring your magic back to Dubai and we might have found the perfect setting. Atlantis LIVE is waiting, and so are we. Martin Garrix already set the stage in 2024 with two packed shows, so why not you next? Let’s make 2025 the year of Zedd in Dubai. Wherever it may be, we’ll be there, no question.
Steve Aoki’s Dream Bakery—When?
Steve, you’ve joked about opening a bakery, and honestly, it’s genius. A Steve Aoki bakery from the master of cake throwing himself? Sign us up. It’s time to make this happen in 2025. Just let us know where? We’d be first in line.
Anyma and the Sphere Las Vegas: More, Please
Anyma’s Sphere Las Vegas set was a masterpiece. More shows in 2025? Yes, absolutely. The visuals, the sound—everything was mind-blowing. Let’s hope this becomes a regular thing. We’re already packing our bags. Vegas here we come!
David Guetta and Ellie Goulding? One Could Hope.
David, you’ve worked with the biggest names in the industry and as a legend, rightfully so. Ellie, between Calvin Harris collabs and that Anyma ID, you’ve got our attention. But hear us out: a David Guetta and Ellie Goulding track? Epic potential. The Miracle remix was fantastic, but one could hope for more. We’re excited to see what 2025 unfolds.
Amba Shepherd, Is a Full Album on the Horizon?
Amba, after the magic of your “Wild Hearts” EP, an album would make every EDM fan’s wishlist for 2025. The remix EP? Also brilliant. But we’re thinking bigger—what about a full album? It’s time for your voice to shine in a big way. Let’s manifest a 2025 release because we’re ready to hit repeat on your magic.
EDC Thailand Timetable and Map—Stat!
EDC Thailand is basically our January 2025 reset button and tops our EDM wishlist for next year. The insider info was a generous gift that revealed all the food prices, experiences, and more for the three-day festival on January 17-19. The headliners – absolutely stacked. We’re full sending this, but can we please get the timetable and map already? Knowing when and where we’ll party hard just adds to the hype. EDC Thailand, drop those details and let the countdown to one of Asia’s hottest events of the year begin. We’re ready to rave.

Can we finally get the Dubai 2025 headliner lineup, please? Meanwhile, Untold Romania is hitting its 10th year—huge congrats. A little Dubai-Romania crossover celebration would be fantastic. Let’s go big for 2025.
MDLBEAST: Can We Fast Forward to Balad Beast?
MDLBEAST, you’ve been killing it lately. Soundstorm 2024 was epic. But can we fast forward to Balad Beast in Jeddah now? Partying at a UNESCO cultural site is both unique and interesting, we’re here for it. We know it’s just a few weeks but January 30 and 31 feels so far away. We’ll bring the energy; you bring the beast.
Tomorrowland Asia—Is It Happening?
EDC is heading to Thailand, but Tomorrowland in Asia? That’s the real dream. Imagine the Tomorrowland magic in a new continent. If 2025 doesn’t bring this, we’ll keep hoping. Fingers crossed for big news.
ASOT America—We Didn’t Imagine This
Pasquale Rotella and Armin van Buuren dropped a hint about ASOT in America, and we haven’t stopped thinking about it since. We thought we imagined and had to rewatch the video just to make sure. Armin, Pasquale, we need this. A massive ASOT event stateside? It’s what trance fans deserve. Let’s turn this A State of Trance talks into reality in 2025.
UNVRS Ibiza: Residencies Incoming?
Ibiza and the world’s first hyperclub, UNVRS, is on the way, and we’re obsessed already. We know elrow has secured their spot. The real question is: who else is on the residency list? The suspense is killing us, honestly. If this is the future of clubbing, we’re so ready for it. Bring on 2025 and the next level of nightlife.
Can We Get Free Water at Festivals Already?
Free water at festivals might sound simple, but it’s an essential addition to every EDM fan’s wishlist for 2025. We’re tired, sweaty, and thirsty—hydration is a basic need, okay? Some festivals get it (EDC Las Vegas, we see you), but we need all festivals on board. Let’s make this happen in 2025. Healthy ravers are happy ravers.
Sober Daytime Raves—Yes or No?
Sober daytime raves have been popping up, and honestly, we’re curious. We’ve seen RYZE Raves do it. Are we missing out on something incredible here? Dancing in the daylight with full clarity sounds refreshing, right? Let’s see how this trend shapes up in 2025. It’s worth a shot.
More Pop-Up Raves in Cool Places
Pop-up raves in quirky spots are always a win. A hotpot restaurant rave? Yes. A library rave? Why not? Unique vibes are where it’s at. We’ve seen ZEDD pull off an exclusive rave at a New York bodega. Let’s see more of this creativity in 2025. Think outside the club.
No-Phone Raves, Anyone?
Imagine a rave where everyone actually lives the moment—no phones, no distractions, just music. Our friends at Mangata Projekt has asked just that. Sounds amazing, right? No-phone raves could totally be a thing. Let’s give it a try in 2025. Music first, always.
Scarves as Rave Trades?
Kandi, plushies, ducks, and sprouts—rave trading culture is iconic. But scarves? Stylish and practical. Should we call it now? Scarves might be the 2025 trade trend. Let’s get creative, ravers.
Inclusivity and Accessibility Always
Festivals are doing better with inclusivity, accessibility, and safety, but there’s always room for more. Tomorrowland, Insomniac, ULTRA, DEFECTED—keep it coming. Music should be for everyone, no exceptions. Let’s keep raising the bar in 2025.
