The wait is over. NEON Music Festival (NMF) is back, and this year, it’s cranking up the volume.

Set to take over KL Base Sungai Besi on Friday, 11 April 2025, this electrifying event promises a night of thundering bass, mind-melting visuals, and a lineup that’ll have you dancing till dawn.

At the helm of this sonic spectacle? None other than Hardwell. The Dutch electronic maestro is making his long-awaited return to Malaysia after seven years, bringing his game-changing Big Room Techno to local shores.

With legendary hits like ‘Spaceman’, ‘Apollo’, and ‘Run Wild’, plus remixes for industry giants like Rihanna, Calvin Harris, and Coldplay, Hardwell has dominated the global festival circuit—from Tomorrowland to Coachella. If you thought KL couldn’t get any hotter, think again.

Adding to the madness is Ukrainian DJ duo ARTBAT, known for their hypnotic melodic techno and jaw-dropping visuals.

Making their regional debut, they’ll be unveiling their brand-new audio-visual experience, UPPERGROUND, ensuring festival-goers get fully immersed in their euphoric, futuristic world.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any bigger—NEON pulls a power move. For the first time ever, progressive house heavyweights DubVision, Matisse & Sadko, and Third Party are teaming up for a never-before-seen triple back-to-back set.

That’s right—three of the biggest names in the genre, on one stage, at the same time. Progressive House fans, your moment has arrived.

But the lineup doesn’t stop there. Expect pulse-pounding sets from 22Bullets b2b Marvinz1r, Blink, Chukiess & Whackboi, Dirty Signal, Honey Gee, and RXB. Whether you’re into euphoric builds, relentless drops, or deep, driving beats—this year’s NEON Music Festival has you covered.

Of course, it wouldn’t be NEON without the jaw-dropping production.

This year’s stage will be a fully immersive LED-fueled playground, decked out with next-level laser displays and a state-of-the-art sound system designed to shake you to your core.

The visuals? 360-degree sensory overload. The energy? Absolutely unhinged.

Its sister event, NEON Countdown, pulls in between 25,000 to 30,000 revelers annually. This year, they’re expecting an even bigger turnout.
