Headliners & Key Acts

The 2025 DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Awards lineup unites some of the scene’s most influential and exciting names: Dutch trance titan Armin van Buuren, a five-time poll winner and the newly crowned World’s No. 1 DJ, brings his expansive trance sound and luminous breakdowns; masked innovator Boris Brejcha delivers his trademark “high-tech minimal” style with immersive tension and elaborate production; Indira Paganotto, the rising “psymama,” injects driving psy-techno energy and forward-looking intensity; house tastemaker Jazzy adds groove, warmth and a fresh balance of diversity to the roster; while Miss Monique straddles progressive house and melodic techno, weaving emotive melodies with polished production to round out a genre-spanning night at [UNVRS].

What Makes This Edition Special

• Ibiza as host
  For the first time, the in-person awards ceremony lands in Ibiza, long considered a crucible of club culture. The move underscores DJ Mag’s ambition to anchor the poll in one of electronic music’s most historic places.
• The Award Reveal
  Before the night’s headliner performs, the winner of the 2025 poll - the World’s No. 1 DJ - will be revealed live on stage. It not only crowns the vote but immediately transitions into a performance from that artist, making the moment both a competition and a celebration.
• Genre breadth & rising talent
  From trance and psy-techno to progressive house and melodic techno, the lineup promises wide sonic variety. Meanwhile, categories like Future Star and Outstanding Contribution broaden the scope beyond just popular votes, recognizing emerging artists and those with legacy roles.
• Social impact & charity
  DJ Mag’s new partnership with Bridges for Music adds a philanthropic layer: ticket buyers will be offered an option to donate, aligning the global reach of the Top 100 poll with real investment in underserved creative communities. The campaign aims to empower young people via music education and opportunity.

Hosted by DJ and presenter Arielle Free, this promises to be not just a spectacle, but a milestone: a fusion of prestige, artistry and purpose held under Ibiza skies. For many attendees, it’s a chance to witness legends in full force, and for others, it’s about discovering the next wave of innovators.
