Insomniac has confirmed the lineup for the return of Dreamstate San Francisco this spring.
After skipping a Northern California edition in 2024, the powerhouse promoter’s trance-specific festival will head to Daly City’s historic Cow Palace Arena on April 4-5, 2025.
A move to the 12,000-capacity venue and an expansion to two days and two stages means the 2025 event will feature five times as many performances as its last edition in San Francisco, packed with the scene’s leading selectors across trance, progressive house, techno, and more.
Immediate standouts on Dreamstate San Francisco’s 2025 lineup include trance heroes like A State of Trance boss Armin van Buuren, German genre veteran Markus Schulz, Irish master Solarstone, and Italian favorites Giuseppe Ottaviani and Mauro Picotto, Eric Prydz’s iconic Pryda alias, and anticipated sets from surging next-gen stars, Ben Hemsley and Trance Wax.
Further genre stalwarts like Anjunabeats staple Amy Wiles, Eurotrance favorite Billy Gillies, progressive trance players Nifra, Solarstone, and Ilan Bluestone, and BBC Radio 1 DJ Jordan Suckley will also perform, alongside even more big names touting a variety of trance-adjacent sounds.
Dreamstate’s markedly diverse lineup this year also features plenty of acts on the harder side of trance and hard house like Hannah Laing, Maddix, and Yoji Biomehanika, while fans can catch even more premier progressive house from Cristoph and Yotto, dip into psytrance with Simon Patterson, or check out top techno artists like Argy and Marie Vaunt. Check out the full lineup below.
Tickets for Dreamstate San Francisco 2025 will go on sale this Friday, December 6, at 12PM PT. For more information or to make your purchase, visit dreamstateusa.com.
