AMF 2025 just delivered its most future-facing lineup to date—and it’s set to take over the Johan Cruijff ArenA on October 25, 2025, with 40,000 fans dancing inside the world’s biggest nightclub. From trance titans to techno trailblazers, this year’s edition strikes a bold balance between global legends and underground heroes, all framed by AMF’s breathtaking stage design.
AfroSalto’s Festival Debut Sets the Tone for AMF 2025
AfroSalto will kick off AMF 2025 with an exclusive pre-show set for early access ticket holders only. This marks the festival debut of Afrojack and Gregor Salto’s new collaborative project, formed in late 2024. AfroSalto merges Afrojack’s mainstage sound with Salto’s expertise in Latin and global dance music traditions. Together, they focus on afrohouse, a genre defined by rhythm-forward energy and organic percussion.
Their remix of Kapo’s “Ohnana” introduced the project’s dynamic blend of emotion and groove. The debut single, “All Good Things (Come To An End),” reworks Nelly Furtado’s 2006 hit with afrohouse textures. The track, made with Miami-based DJ Mednas, keeps the original’s core but adds fresh cultural weight. Salto and Afrojack aim to push afrohouse into the global spotlight through festival-scale productions. Their sound highlights cross-continental influences while staying grounded in club authenticity. With this set, AfroSalto brings a bold new energy to AMF’s evolving identity.
Here Comes KI/KI, Sara Landry, and Miss Monique
The full 2025 lineup features ten artists, blending established headliners with new voices reshaping electronic music’s global future. Mainstage giants like Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, and Oliver Heldens return alongside breakout stars John Summit and MORTEN. Yet it’s the three debut performances—KI/KI, Sara Landry, and Miss Monique—that signal AMF’s clearest evolution.
KI/KI brings a raw, acid-soaked techno sound that helped revive Amsterdam’s underground and challenge expectations of modern rave music. Her use of analog hardware and trance-laced energy makes her AMF debut both authentic and deserved. Sara Landry delivers relentless hard techno with cathartic speed, connecting deeply with a younger audience drawn to higher BPMs and emotional extremes. Her performance promises to shift AMF into harder, darker sonic territory without losing connection to musical roots. Miss Monique, globally celebrated and one of the most streamed female DJs, adds warmth and drive through her progressive house sound. Her arrival completes the trio, bringing melodic energy and broad digital reach to the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
Together, these three women represent more than musical talent—they represent the sound of what comes next for AMF.
AMF 2025: More Than a Lineup, A Redefinition of the Mainstage
No AMF feels complete without its legendary mainstays, and 2025 proudly brings two of the most celebrated names back. Armin van Buuren returns to add another chapter to his enduring AMF legacy with a performance rooted in trance and emotion. Hardwell makes his long-awaited comeback, eight years after his last AMF appearance, marking a powerful return to the ArenA stage. He’s performed five unforgettable sets at AMF before, and this sixth one promises to be his most iconic.
MORTEN, fresh from a series of successful summer anthems, brings his signature mix of future rave and melodic bass. Sub Zero Project will close the night with a high-voltage hardstyle set that pushes energy levels into the early morning. John Summit, known for his playful charisma and crossover anthems, continues to blur lines between tech-house cool and global popularity. Together, these artists create a lineup that connects dance music’s past, present, and explosive future inside the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
Now in its twelfth edition, AMF remains the flagship event of Amsterdam Dance Event, defining Saturday night for 40,000 fans. The stadium transforms into a colossal nightclub, featuring immersive visuals, monumental staging, and unforgettable sound design.
