The legendary Monegros Desert Festival returns on Saturday, July 26, 2025, transforming the Aragon, Spain desert into a temporary technopolis of music and freedom. With over 150 artists across 13 stages, the 32nd edition of this 22-hour rave will bring together 50,000 fans for an electrifying celebration of electronic music and underground culture.
A Lineup Packed with Global Icons
This year’s Monegros lineup boasts a powerhouse selection of techno, house, drum & bass, hip-hop, dub, reggae, psytrance, and more. Pendulum Live, Richie Hawtin, Boris Brejcha, Laurent Garnier, Indira Paganotto, Joseph Capriati, Adam Beyer, Len Faki, SPFDJ, and Mind Against are among the top-tier acts gracing the desert stages. Hard techno fans can look forward to high-energy sets from Nico Moreno, I Hate Models, and Andres Campo, while house lovers will get their fix with Enzo Siragusa, Cinthie, and Layla Benitez.
Beyond electronic beats, the festival embraces diverse sounds, featuring hip-hop lyricist Foyone, reggae sensation Protoje, and psytrance master DJ Tristan. With more artists yet to be announced, Monegros is shaping up to be an unmissable sonic adventure.
A Temporary Technopolis: The City of Rave
Monegros is not just a festival—it’s an ephemeral city, a technopolis that rises from the desert once a year to unite thousands of ravers under one sky. Each edition, this futuristic dance hub is meticulously crafted with advanced lighting systems, immersive soundscapes, and awe-inspiring stage designs that blend seamlessly into the rugged beauty of the Spanish desert. The festival is a masterclass in engineering, innovation, and artistic vision, offering a completely immersive experience that defies expectations.
At the heart of the technopolis are 13 carefully curated stages, each with its own identity, artistic theme, and genre focus. The stages are designed to transport attendees into different worlds—whether it’s an industrial warehouse setup, a futuristic neon-lit haven, or a tribal, bass-heavy retreat. With state-of-the-art technology, visual installations, 3D projections, and pyrotechnic displays, Monegros ensures that the environment is as breathtaking as the music itself.
This year, organizers have taken the concept even further, introducing new shaded areas, 80 water stations, and designated oases for ravers to recharge before diving back into the action. A digitalized locker system and improved venue signage also enhance convenience and accessibility, making the experience smoother for attendees navigating the massive festival grounds.
Stage Takeovers from European Dance Powerhouses
Monegros has joined forces with top-tier event brands to elevate the experience. Awakenings, Brunch Electronik, 240km/h, and Unreal Germany will each host specially curated stages, ensuring that the festival remains at the forefront of electronic music culture.
Exclusive Back-to-Back Sets and Face-2-Face Battles
Monegros is known for its B2B sets, and 2025 is no exception. Expect 26 B2B showdowns, including Adam Beyer b2b Ilario Alicante, Blawan b2b SHDW, and a Chris, Aaron, and Julian Liberator 30-year celebration. Additionally, a brand-new Face-2-Face DJ format—pioneered by 240km/h—will add an element of competition to the decks, bringing high-energy duels to the dancefloor.
The Monegros Challenge: “This Is Not for You”
Monegros isn’t for the faint-hearted. The festival’s slogan, “This Is Not for You,” challenges attendees to embrace the extreme conditions and lose themselves in the music. With scorching desert temperatures, surreal landscapes, and non-stop beats, Monegros is an immersive test of endurance and passion.
“There are two types of Monegrinos: those who already are and those who don’t know it yet.”
