Remember Beats for Love 2025
In 2025, Beats for Love concluded its 11th year in style and with a historical record – 164,000 visitors came to the Dolní Vítkovice venue over four days, which is the highest attendance in the festival’s history. There were performances by stars such as A.M.C & Koven or Axwell, but also major innovations in the design of the venue. The festival introduced the new Beats for Love Universe concept, divided into three thematic zones – LOVE, SPACE and INDUSTRIAL, connected visually by the distinctive PULSE boulevard. This year, the main Love Stage by ČSOB symbolised a heart on the palm of the hand, while the Techno Dome by Proud offered a 360-degree stage surrounded by the audience. Over 550 artists took their turn on 18 stages, and visitors enjoyed not only the music, but also the unique visual experience and atmosphere that turned the festival into an immersive event engaging all the senses.
