Terminal V, Scotland’s leading electronic music festival, will return to Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Centre next month on 19-20 April 2025 with a huge lineup that’s as bold as it is diverse and is packed with international DJ talent. This year’s edition will not only feature some of the biggest names in global techno but also shine a spotlight on 30+ emerging Scottish artists, cementing Terminal V’s commitment to nurturing grassroots talent.
In a groundbreaking move, Terminal V is now dedicating significant stage time to homegrown talent, offering a vital platform for over 30 rising stars like Brad Herbert, Case, Chromatic, Eva, James McArthur, Jardine Jenn Gunn, Ryan Untitled, TLO and more. These artists will take over the intimate Secret Stage, a hidden gem designed for approximately 150 attendees, perfect for those eager to discover the next big names in electronic music and techno that Scotland has to offer. This initiative underscores Terminal V’s mission to invest in the future of Scotland’s music scene while celebrating its talented community.
New for this year, the Hangar Stage has been transformed, having been converted into a vast 6,000-capacity, 360 degree behemoth that allows dancers to surround the DJs and get up close and personal with the artists. There is also the introduction of a stage hosted by FACE2FACE, the European techno brand that hosts events headlined by cutting edge talents and featuring special ‘face-to-face’ sets that bring out the best in each other’s sound. These stages all sit alongside the Greenhouse and The Terminal, making this one of the best places for techno in the UK and beyond. What’s more, a healthy dose of top Scottish talent including Jude Bradshaw, Celeste, Dominique, DV60, Lazlo, DJ Susie and Gallo will be ready and waiting to open the main stages.
The up and coming artists are revealed as momentum builds for the festival in April, the full lineup itself is a testament to techno’s global appeal with the likes of 999999999, Adrián Mills, ALT8, Azyr, Cloudy, Deborah De Luca, Funk Tribu, Kettama, Blawan X Helena Hauff, Charlie Sparks X Parfait Clouds, Dax J, Fish56Octagon, Patrick Mason and more will feature.
