îLESONIQ 2025 Reveals Daily Schedules
With just two months to go, îLESONIQ has finally revealed the daily lineups for their 2025 edition and it’s stacked front-to-back. The electronic festival returns to Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 9 and 10, and this year marks its 10th anniversary. Based on the daily schedules, they’re clearly throwing down harder than ever.
Saturday, August 9
Saturday’s main action is locked into the Oasis Stage, where Steve Aoki and Kaskade hold down the evening slots, with John Summit closing things out. Maddix brings the energy in the late afternoon, while Frank Walker and Dave Summer keep things hot earlier on.
Over at the Mirage Stage, the bassheads get their fix with back-to-back-to-backs: Automhate b2b Beastboi, Dion Timmer b2b Calcium, and a late-night b2b from Sullivan King and Crankdat. Muzz and GorillAT hit the stage right before the sun sets, promising full-on chaos.
The Neon Stage stays steady with melodic house and techno vibes all day. Joris Voorn, LP Giobbi, and Cassian keep things smooth but driving. Eli Brown caps things off with a proper dark and punchy close.
Sunday, August 10
Sunday is a heavy hitter from all directions. Over on the Oasis Stage, Illenium returns to close the weekend in dramatic, feels-heavy fashion. Before him, Alesso, Mau P, and Oliver Heldens lead a solid mainstage stretch that runs from sunset till night.
On the Mirage Stage, the energy only builds. Ray Volpe b2b Kai Wachi will absolutely destroy the place, and Chase & Status will follow up with a jungle/UK bass masterclass. Sippy, Snails, and Alleycvt bring their signature crunch earlier in the day.
The Neon Stage once again provides an alternative for the deep-house crowd. Joshwa, Max Styler, and Deep Dish roll out a sun-drenched afternoon soundtrack. Layton Giordani and Sara Landry then deliver the kind of pounding, late-night techno sets that’ll test the speakers and the crowd’s stamina.
îLESONIQ’s 2025 edition is shaping up to be diverse in sound and the biggest in scale yet. Now that we’ve got set times, it’s time to start planning who you’ll rage, vibe, and decompress to. Start mapping your weekend!

Rolling Loud Announce Move To Orlando For 2026
Rolling Loud will stage its only U.S. festival of 2026 in Orlando, Florida, marking a notable shift for the long-running hip-hop event. Organizers announced that Rolling Loud Orlando will take place May 8–10 at Camping World Stadium, ending a decade-long tradition that kept the festival anchored in Miami.
The lineup has not been revealed, but the festival is promising a full week of “exclusive events and experiences” tied to the main weekend. Presale tickets go on sale Thursday, January 8, at 10 a.m. ET through Rolling Loud’s website, with prices starting at $249. A layaway option will be offered with a $9.99 deposit.
The Orlando dates come after years of Rolling Loud operating multiple U.S. festivals in cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. That approach has now been scaled back. Outside the U.S., Rolling Loud will still host events in Sydney and Melbourne on March 7 and 8, following recent global expansions that included the brand’s first festival in India last November. Organizers have already confirmed a return to India in November 2026.
Festival co-founder and co-CEO Matt Zingler said the move reflects a broader reset for the brand. In a statement shared via Billboard, Zingler explained that the goal was to bring Rolling Loud back to a summer schedule and build a single U.S. event without trade-offs. He pointed to Orlando’s accessibility and infrastructure as key reasons for the decision, adding that the festival aims to follow where hip-hop culture is headed, not where it has already been.
Rolling Loud began in Miami in 2015, founded by Florida natives Zingler and Tariq Cherif. What started as a one-day event in Wynwood quickly grew into a major destination festival, moving through larger venues before landing at Hard Rock Stadium by 2018. By the end of the decade, Rolling Loud Miami regularly drew crowds exceeding 200,000, becoming one of the city’s biggest music events and a major economic driver.
Over the years, the festival has hosted performances from artists such as Travis Scott, Future, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, Latto, and Kodak Black, while building a reputation for spotlighting rising artists alongside established stars. The brand later expanded across North America and overseas, helping solidify hip-hop’s place at the center of the global festival circuit.
News of the move to Orlando has drawn mixed reactions online, particularly from South Florida fans who viewed Rolling Loud as a fixture of Miami’s cultural calendar. The change signals a clear new chapter for the festival as it enters its second decade, with organizers betting on a leaner U.S. footprint and a broader international focus.
