Audioriver Festival continues to announce artists set to perform on the main stage. The lineup now includes the duo Chase & Status. The drum & bass superstars will bring their show to Łódź, an exclusive experience presented this year only at a few select festivals like Coachella and… Audioriver.

Chase & Status is arguably the biggest drum & bass project in the history of the genre. They have been active for over two decades, gaining popularity right from their full-length debut. Three singles from their first album, More Than a Lot, reached number one on the UK Dance Singles Chart. The group was quickly invited to contribute to Rihanna’s Rated R album and later appeared on her next two records, Talk That Talk and Unapologetic. Their signature sound, blending drum & bass with dubstep, also caught the attention of Snoop Dogg, who used one of their beats. RM from BTS invited them to collaborate on his solo project as well.

Despite their early brush with the global mainstream, Chase & Status remained deeply connected to the UK scene, consistently engaging with its underground. They worked with local artists and rappers, exploring different shades of drum & bass, from dancehall to liquid and UK garage. Their albums have featured legends like Shy FX, rising grime stars like Novelist, and singers such as Craig David.

In recent years, their popularity has exploded beyond the UK. Their incredible live performances at festivals and clubs worldwide, an iconic Boiler Room set, and hit singles like Baddadan (featuring Bou and Flowdan), Disconnect (with Becky Hill), and Liquor & Cigarettes (with Hedex) have made them one of the most talked-about names in electronic music. In 2024, they won the BRIT Award for Best Producers of the Year.

Chase & Status will perform at Audioriver Festival 2025, taking place in Łódź from July 11-13. They join a stellar lineup that already includes Adriatique, Ben Böhmer, Charlotte de Witte, Gesaffelstein, I Hate Models, Sara Landry, Tiësto, VTSS b2b Job Jobse, and many more.

Tickets are still available at discounted prices until February 25. Currently, a two-day pass costs 660 PLN, while a three-day pass is 800 PLN. Tickets can only be purchased through biletomat.pl and eBilet. More details can be found at audioriver.pl/tickets.

The festival is co-organized by Łódzkie Centrum Wydarzeń.

We’re unveiling more names for this year’s lineup! Among the artists heading to Łódź for Audioriver 2025 are MALL GRAB, the Australian visionary of dance music who sells out clubs no matter where he plays, and WHOMADEWHO, a Danish synth-pop group recognized as one of the best live acts in electronic music. The band was recently awarded Best Live Performer 2024 in Beatport’s poll—the world’s largest distributor of electronic music.

Mall Grab is currently one of the most in-demand DJs and producers. The Australian artist has made waves with his genre-blending approach. Starting as a house artist known for nostalgic and mysterious sounds, he now fearlessly experiments with techno, electro, and even trance, creating euphoric and infectiously joyful atmospheres. His track “Iluv”, released with Effy, was one of last summer’s anthems.

WhoMadeWho formed in 2003 and became part of the synth-pop wave of the time—drawing influences from disco, funk, house, and punk. Their unique blend of synth-driven and club-ready music has made them regular guests at Audioriver, performing live renditions of their ever-growing discography. Unlike some of their equally eclectic peers, they have remained incredibly productive and long-lasting.

Another addition to the lineup is YOTTO, long associated with Anjunabeats, known for his beautiful and majestic house music. A true veteran and one of the biggest names in the genre, DAMIAN LAZARUS—a festival regular and fan favorite—will also return. The party will take a turn towards warm and joyful disco vibes with TOY TONICS KREW, represented by GEE LANE and KAPOTE.

The lineup also welcomes BLACK SUN EMPIRE, pioneers of Dutch neurofunk, who will perform with MC LOWQUI. The highly sought-after duo DJ HEARTSTRING is bringing back the sounds of trance and eurodance, while DJ MARKY, a turntable virtuoso and scratch master known for fusing samba with drum & bass, will perform alongside SP:MC. Representing the local Łódź scene is RADICALL, who has just released a ’90s-inspired project on the newly established Willow Street label.

For the Kosmos stage, we’re thrilled to announce the first confirmed acts: .Vril, who will play a live set fresh off the release of his stellar album Saturn is a Supercomputer, and SEPT, who will perform with YANAMASTE, one of the most exciting names on the contemporary Georgian electronic scene.

Fans of harder sounds will be excited for the arrival of OGUZ, a Turkish-Dutch DJ and producer known for his intense sets. Similarly hard-hitting, though in a different style, are PYTHIUS and MERIKAN, who specialize in technical, aggressively energetic drum & bass and neurofunk that borders on metal. Dark, heavy sounds will also be brought by TESSERACTS, whose style spans dubstep and halftime.

All these artists are joining an already star-studded lineup for Audioriver 2025. The festival will feature some of the biggest names in electronic music, including Tiësto—one of the most legendary DJs of all time, Chase & Status, the duo that brought drum & bass to the mainstream, Charlotte de Witte, the world’s top techno DJ according to DJ Mag’s ranking, and Gesaffelstein, the electro producer known for collaborations with Lady Gaga and Kanye West.

Tickets are still available! A two-day pass (Friday & Saturday) costs 660 PLN, while a three-day pass (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) costs 800 PLN. Single-day tickets are priced at 360 PLN for Friday and Saturday, and 210 PLN for Sunday. Tickets can only be purchased via eBilet and Biletomat.pl. For more details, visit audioriver.pl/tickets.
