The countdown is on! In just a few weeks, on August 30, Germany’s biggest outdoor hardstyle festival hits Zülpich once again. This year’s edition is set to be the largest in the history of Into the Madness, reuniting people from all over Germany and beyond for one day of pure, unfiltered madness!

Since 2022, Musical Madness has worked relentlessly to build Into The Madness into one of Germany’s flagship outdoor harder styles events, attracting thousands of fans to Zülpich each year – not just with killer lineups, but with next-level stage designs and goosebump-inducing endshows.

In 2025, the Seepark in Zülpich (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) will transform into a massive harder styles playground for the fourth time – with more visitors than ever before. After last year’s two-day setup, the Musical Madness crew channels all that concentrated power and festival energy into one hell of a day this year!

With a total of four stages (Mainstage, Raw, Core, and Dunes) and around 50 artists, no wish goes unfulfilled. The lineup is stacked with both well-known artists and rising stars, delivering the full spectrum of harder styles – from euphoric hardstyle sing-alongs to rawstyle energy and uptempo zaagkicks – all set in that beautiful, summer-feely lakeside festival vibe.

Catch hardstyle icons like Vertile, Sub Zero Project, and Da Tweekaz on the Mainstage. Also on the Mainstage lineup, of course: this year’s anthem maker, Aversion! And at the end of the day, experience the epic Into the Madness endshow – the moment where you and your friends will create memories that last long after the festival ends.

Brace yourself for relentless energy at the Raw stage with The Straikerz, Deezl, and Kruelty vs The Smiler.

Get pushed into the faster lane at the Core stage (hosted by Inurfase) with Dr Donk, Major Conspiracy, and Unicorn on K vs Equal2, serving up all that zaagkicks, piepkicks, and microwave sounds you can handle.

And then there’s the Dunes stage – beach vibes, euphoric melodies, and sand right under your feet, featuring Gregor Le Dahl and Alloy.

The only question that remains: at which stage(s) will you lose yourself to close out this year’s summer festival season?
