Austin’s ILLFest Drops Bass-Heavy 2025 Lineup

ILLFest has dropped a banging bass lineup for the Austin festival’s 2025 edition.

The three-day party from Texas festival giant Disco Presents is back for its seventh year this May 30-June 1, returning to the Travis County Expo Center with more than 80 murals and other street art installations—and over 50 of the biggest names in bass music and beyond.

Headline performances at this year’s ILLFest include a first-ever B2B from new-school bass stars Tape B and PEEKABOO, as well as solo performances from dubstep favorite Wooli and experimental bass maestro Liquid Stranger.

They’ll be joined by even more boundary-pushing bass talent in surging experimental bass artist ALLEYCVT, riddim favorite HOL!, drum & bass icon Netsky, enigmatic masked producer Deathpact, and fan-favorite dubstep act Ray Volpe, along with special guest appearances from Texas rappers BigXthaPlug and That Mexican OT.

Elsewhere on the lineup are several of the low-end scene’s brightest emerging stars, such as Benda, Calcium, Eater, and LYNY, plus further drum & bass royalty in Andromedik, Delta Heavy, and Borne, trap favorites Nikita, the Wicked and One True God, and UK bass frontrunners Gentlemens Club and Taiki Nulight. Check out the full lineup below.

Organizers have also unveiled a new 360-degree stage and announced that famed bass party outfit Brownies & Lemonade will host a separate DNBNL stage takeover at this year’s ILLFest, featuring a headline DJ set from renowned graffiti artist Greg Mike and a D&B-heavy lineup of TBA artists.
