Overview

The fourth edition of Stone Techno took place from July 4 to 6, 2025, at the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein in Essen. Over 100 acts on the Mixing Plant and Grand Hall floors, three days and three nights of Techno, House, and Ambient between industrial monument and experimental club culture.

In 2025, Stone Techno continued its rise within the European techno scene. The program ranged from classic Industrial Techno in the Grand Hall to atmospheric open-air sets on the Mixing Plant, complemented by performances from international live acts and DJs. Over the three days, the day and night programs were distributed as usual between 12 p.m. and 7 a.m.

The festival was once again largely sold out in 2025, with attendance from Germany and abroad increasing further compared to previous years. Stone Techno has definitively established itself as a fixture alongside Time Warp and Awakenings in the electronic summer festival calendar. The edition was partly recorded and documented on arte CONCERT.
