October is always a magical month for electronic music lovers. Riding the wave of Ibiza’s famous closing parties, the Amsterdam Dance Event, and the Halloween events, the festival calendar becomes a whirlwind of sound and color across the globe. From Europe to the Americas, fans can enjoy a wide spectrum of beats, from underground techno to mainstream EDM.
The journey begins in Spain, where Madrid will host Time Warp on October 10–11, bringing icons like Charlotte de Witte, Jamie Jones, and Richie Hawtin to the stage. Just a day later, the spotlight moves to Brazil: Tomorrowland Brasil will return to São Paulo from October 10–12, promising explosive performances from ANNA, David Guetta, and Reinier Zonneveld.
In Germany, the city of Oberhausen gets ready for Blacklist on October 11, a darker and bass-heavy gathering featuring Flowidus, Holy Goof, and Koven. Almost simultaneously, the beats will echo in Santiago de Chile, where Creamfields (October 11–12) welcomes stars like Deadmau5, Miss Monique, and Timmy Trumpet.
Mid-month, the focus shifts to Las Vegas, where Unity – pomewed by Tomorrowland and Insomniac – will take place on October 17–18. The U.S. desert will vibrate with sets from Sara Landry and Subtronics. Europe returns to the spotlight on October 25 with the spectacular Amsterdam Music Festival, uniting heavyweights such as Armin van Buuren, John Summit, and Oliver Heldens in one of the continent’s most anticipated events.
As Halloween approaches, the atmosphere intensifies. In Florida, Hulaween (October 30–November 2) blends music and fantasy, headlined by Gorgon City, Illenium, and Zeds Dead. Circoloco arrives in New York (October 31–November 1), bringing the unmistakable Ibiza vibe with &ME, Bedouin, and Seth Troxler. At the same time, California transforms into a playground of lights at Escape Halloween in San Bernardino, with Alesso, Deorro, and Vintage Culture leading the charge.
Finally, the season culminates in Mexico City, where Zamna Festival (October 31–November 1) will deliver a deep and hypnotic soundscape featuring Kevin de Vries, Maz, and Soloiist.
From Madrid to Mexico, October 2025 will be remembered as a month where electronic music fans can dance under every sky, celebrating the global spirit of the scene.
