In one of the most unexpected moves in recent music event history, the intellectual property and branding rights of Fyre Festival have officially been sold on eBay for $245,000. The listing, created by convicted festival founder Billy McFarland, included the trademarks, domain names, logos, and social media accounts of the infamous festival brand. The auction attracted 42 bidders and closed on July 11 with a final bid of $245,300. According to reports, the sale was part of McFarland’s effort to pay back some of the $26 million he still owes to investors and victims following his 2018 fraud conviction. The buyer’s identity has not been made public, nor have any details been revealed about what they plan to do with the brand. The original Fyre Festival, launched in 2017, was marketed as a luxury music experience in the Bahamas, complete with beachfront villas, gourmet meals, and major headliners. What actually unfolded was a chaotic and poorly organized event that left attendees stranded, fed minimal food, and forced to sleep in disaster-relief tents. The fallout led to lawsuits, documentaries, and McFarland’s prison sentence. In early 2025, McFarland attempted to revive the brand with a second Fyre Festival announced for Mexico’s Isla Mujeres. That plan quietly collapsed as no permits were secured, and local officials confirmed they had no knowledge of the event. The sale of the Fyre name raises questions about its future. Will the buyer attempt another festival? Use the brand for merchandise? Or simply leverage the name’s cultural notoriety? While the Fyre Festival brand still carries massive name recognition, it is also a symbol of mismanagement and broken trust within the music and event world. For the electronic music community and festival scene, the sale is a reminder of how powerful and volatile branding can be. Whether this leads to a creative reimagining or remains just another strange chapter in Fyre’s legacy remains to be seen.

Then came Anyma, bringing his signature fusion of emotive techno and digital art to life in front of a packed, wide-eyed crowd. Anyma opening his set at UNVRS Ibiza Anyma B2B Adriatique But the true magic unfolded when Adriatique and Anyma returned to the booth for a surprise B2B, playing together until the early morning hours.

In a surprise move that bridges big-room euphoria with cinematic depth, Dutch legend Tiësto and Italian melodic techno duo Mathame have joined forces on a powerful new release titled "Everlight." Dropping on June 27, 2025, via Tiësto’s Musical Freedom label, the track marks the first official collaboration between two titans of the global electronic scene and it delivers on all fronts. “Everlight” is a masterclass in restrained emotion and slow-burning energy. It opens with shimmering synths and delicate arpeggios, building gradually into a euphoric, melodic drop that captures both Tiësto’s festival-driven instincts and Mathame’s signature atmospheric sound. The result is a track that feels equally at home on massive main stages and in introspective after-hours sets. Fans first got a taste of the collaboration when the artists teased it during their performances at AMF 2023, where a vocal version briefly surfaced. While “Everlight” has been released as an instrumental, its depth and structure leave nothing lacking. In fact, the absence of vocals allows the melody to shine even brighter, letting listeners get fully lost in the journey. Across Reddit and dance music forums, fans have been praising the track as one of Tiësto’s best in recent years, with many noting how well his melodic roots blend with Mathame’s more emotional, cinematic style. One user called it “an absolute banger,” while others say it’s “a summer anthem in the making.” The official visualizer further elevates the listening experience, combining surreal landscapes and cosmic elements that perfectly match the track’s dreamlike quality. More than just a song, “Everlight” is a moment an elegant, forward-thinking collaboration that represents where melodic electronic music is headed in 2025. As both artists continue to evolve their sound, this track is proof that beauty, depth, and power can coexist on the dancefloor. Whether you’re catching it live at a festival or playing it on repeat with headphones, “Everlight” is a glowing highlight of this summer’s electronic music landscape.

After years of global expansion and unforgettable shows across Europe, South America, and the Middle East, Tomorrowland is finally heading to China. The iconic Belgian festival has officially announced its debut event in Shanghai, marking a historic first for both the brand and the Chinese electronic music scene. Titled “The Magic of Tomorrowland,” the event is set to take place on November 22, 2025, at the Hero Dome, an indoor venue located along Shanghai’s scenic Bund waterfront. Unlike its massive outdoor editions in Belgium or Brazil, this will be Tomorrowland’s first-ever fully immersive indoor show, tailored to fit the venue while still offering the world-class visuals, storytelling, and production the brand is known for. This isn’t just a one-off concert it’s a full experience. “The Magic of Tomorrowland” promises to deliver an indoor spectacle built from the ground up to reflect the brand’s core identity: surreal stage design, next-level lighting, and a sonic journey curated by global dance music legends. This move into China isn’t just about one event. Tomorrowland has partnered with Hero Esports, INS Land, and Budweiser to bring the experience to life. More importantly, it represents a strategic long-term play in Asia. The newly announced partnership between Tomorrowland’s artist agency, One World Artists, and INS Land will also work to promote cultural exchange—bringing top Chinese electronic music talent to international stages, and bringing more global DJs to China. Fans can expect a carefully curated lineup combining Tomorrowland's signature international headliners with China’s rising stars. While the official lineup and ticket details are expected to drop in September 2025, early pre-registration has already opened through local Chinese platforms, including WeChat. With its 2025 debut in Shanghai, Tomorrowland is making a bold statement: this is just the beginning of its journey in Asia. Following the November event in China, the brand has also teased plans to host its first-ever Thailand edition in 2026, further expanding its reach across the continent. Back in Belgium, the flagship festival returns this July under the 2025 theme “Orbyz,” spanning two massive weekends. But for the fans in Asia and for the global dance music community “The Magic of Tomorrowland” in Shanghai will mark a new chapter in how the festival brings its universe to new corners of the world.

Belgian techno queen Charlotte de Witte is set to make Tomorrowland history this year by doing something no artist has done before opening and closing the Mainstage on the same day. On Saturday, July 19, as part of Tomorrowland’s 19th edition themed ‘LIFE: Orbyz’, Charlotte will kick off the day with a rare Daybreak set at noon, bringing her signature blend of dark, pulsating techno to set the tone early. Then, after a day packed with music across stages, she’ll return to close the Mainstage, delivering what’s expected to be a powerful finale to remember. For Charlotte, this moment is full-circle. In 2011, she opened the Mainstage after winning a DJ contest a set that marked the beginning of her global rise. In 2022, she became the first female and techno act to close it. Now, in 2025, she’s doing both in one day. “This year, I’ll be playing on the Mainstage not once, but twice,” Charlotte shared. “It feels like a 360 moment. I really look forward to seeing everyone there twice.” This performance marks a milestone not only for Charlotte de Witte but for techno’s continued rise onto the biggest global festival stages.

For years, The Hamptons have been synonymous with beachside elegance, celebrity-studded parties, and classic summer soundtracks filled with indie bands and acoustic sets. But this season, something different is pulsing through Montauk—and it's coming from the decks of some of the biggest names in electronic music. Adriatique at Surf Lodge for July 4th weekend The Surf Lodge, long known for its bohemian-chic vibe and waterfront sunsets, is now emerging as a serious player in the global electronic scene. A place once defined by folk-pop and coastal jazz is now hosting top-tier techno and house acts—and the shift is undeniable. This summer’s lineup reads like a mini Ibiza: Michael Bibi, Chloé Caillet, Dombresky, Hugel, Adriatique, Green Velvet, Cloonee, and even disco-leaning acts like Francis Mercier have all been booked to play intimate yet electric sets on Surf Lodge’s outdoor stage. These aren't background DJ sets. These are headline performances, drawing in both die-hard fans and unsuspecting beachgoers alike. Why the shift? The appetite for dance music has grown globally—and now, even the laid-back Hamptons crowd wants a taste of deeper beats and hypnotic grooves. The Surf Lodge, never one to shy away from reinvention, has leaned in hard. With support from trendsetting publications like NYLON and musical partnerships that reach into Europe’s club culture, the venue is quickly becoming a North American summer stop for serious electronic talent. More than just a vibe shift, it’s a cultural reset. The rise of techno and house at Surf Lodge signals a broader evolution: Montauk isn’t just for margaritas and mellow guitars anymore. It’s now part of the global circuit—where sunsets meet sound systems, and barefoot dancing on wooden decks becomes the new ritual. In a world where nightlife constantly reinvents itself, Surf Lodge is proving that even the most idyllic beach towns can go deep—and dance even deeper.
