The Three Realms

Prepare yourself for a spellbinding lineup beneath the ancient trees of Wicked Oaks. The trinity of Freaky Deaky, Summoning, and ILLfest unite to unleash a magical celebration of music and art.

Freaky Deaky Stage

Known for its legendary Halloween presence, Freaky Deaky reimagines its eerie theatrics for a woodland setting - delivering haunting visuals, immersive storytelling, and stacked sunset and headliner sets all weekend long. This realm is a playground for dance music fans who crave spellbinding production and high-energy vibes.

Progressive icon Eric Prydz will take listeners on a hypnotic journey through sound and light, while Kaskade's sunset set promises a golden-hour soundtrack steeped in emotion and elevation. Bob Moses delivers a driving club set that blends indie charm with electronic pulse, and Martin Garrix brings undeniable mainstage electricity.

Fans can also expect the radiant energy of LP Giobbi, the melodic-meets-massive stylings of Gryffin, and Cloonee, who'll command the decks with his infectious tech house groove at sundown.

Summoning Stage

The darkest domain of Wicked Oaks, Summoning is curated by Svdden Death and unleashes the heaviest lineup of the weekend. Known for pushing the boundaries of bass music with his VOYD persona, Svdden Death delivers a cryptic and crushing experience for true bassheads. From subterranean energy to mythic, grim-toned stage design, this arena of sound delivers an unparalleled sensory journey and the kind of ominous vibes fans live for.

In the darker domain, VOYD emerges with a performance equal parts ritual and bass reckoning, joined by a thunderous NGHTMRE B2B Kompany and legendary sound architect Flux Pavilion. Sunday's Svdden Death B2B YVM3 B2B NIMDA is set to unleash an unrelenting force of heavy dub and dark theatrics, with emotional bass titan Kai Wachi adding a visceral, cinematic punch.

Illfest Stage

The most visually immersive realm, ILLfest transforms its stage into a living gallery, merging sound and street art in real time. World-class muralists will paint massive installations live across the weekend, while genre-bending sets move seamlessly from lush grooves to mind-warping bass. It's the ideal setting for those who value creativity as much as music.

On the more colorful and groove-laced end of the spectrum, Surf Mesa brings airy, feel-good vibes to the forest canopy, while Tony Romera's forward-thinking house cuts and SOSA's peak-time minimalism push the dancefloor into overdrive. Techno tastemaker Luuk Van Dijk rounds out the eclectic curation with his signature blend of deep textures and infectious rhythm.
