After a first wave of names that had already whetted appetites, Crazy New Year Festival has revealed the second part of its line-up, completing the bill for its very first edition. Headliners, B2Bs and rising talents: here’s the full line-up that set the Ekinox alight on 31 December 2025.
Phase 2 completes the line-up
The second wave of announcements hit hard, adding seven new names to the line-up, including a true headliner:
- Rebelion — the Netherlands-based Scottish duo, at the top of the Hardstyle/Raw bill
- RDØ — dark, melodic Uptempo
- N-XD — the rise of French hardcore (for a B2B with RDØ)
- Yoshiko — the first female artist in BKJN Bookings history
- D-Frek — a leading Frenchcore figure
- Lalou — the Swiss Hardstyle DJ, signed to Dirty Workz
- Mighty Spiritz — Hardstyle/Raw energy
“Whether you’re into Techno or Hard music, seasoned or new to it, celebrate the New Year in the CRAZIEST way possible.”
