Ottawa’s Escapade Music Festival has shared its full lineup for 2025, celebrating 15 years at the top of Canada’s electronic festival scene.
The three-day party will return to the Canadian capital this June 20-22, debuting at Ottawa’s RA Centre Grounds after previous editions at the neighboring Landsdowne Park, and packing a performance punch with a huge lineup of electronic music’s top artists.
Among the big names set to play Escapade’s 15th edition are EDM titans like The Chainsmokers, Galantis, Kaskade, Gryffin, and Kygo, bass heavyweights like Subtronics, RL Grime, Liquid Stranger, and Excision, and house music royalty in Chris Lake, Disclosure, Gorgon City, Green Velvet, and more.
Also tapped for an anticipated set is revered trance trio Above & Beyond, whose famed Anjunabeats label will celebrate 25 years in the business with a special “Anjuna25” takeover at Escapade, expected to feature label artists like Gabriel & Dresden, Alex Sonata & TheRio and Amy Wiles, among others. Subtronics’ Cyclops Recordings will also host a stage.
Additional highlights from the bass realm include the dark, enigmatic sounds of Deathpact, dubstep heavy-hitters like INFEKT and Wooli, and drum & bass favorites like Bou and Hedex, while house fans can look forward to further 4/4 stalwarts including Loco Dice, Vintage Culture, Patrick Topping, and Matroda. Check out the full lineup below.
Escapade’s move to the RA Centre Grounds will afford several changes to this year’s festival, including more room to dance at the Great Lawn Stage, a new open-air experience at the House Party Stage, and Eastern Canada’s first enclosed festival megastructure stage, according to organizers.
