The World DJ Festival (WDJF) is making its debut in Japan in 2025, marking its first international launch after becoming one of Korea's top music festivals—the event attracted close to 100,000 attendees in 2024. This year's theme is "Universe & Fantasy," promising an unforgettable experience with cutting-edge technology and collaborations from some of the world's best DJs.
While the lineup for the Japan event has not been announced at the time of writing, past instances promise some big names. Last year the event in Korea was headlined by The Chainsmokers, with previous years seeing the likes of Eric Prydz, Zedd, Nicky Romero, and Avicii to name just a handful.
Ticket sales, however, have already opened up, with early bird prices available if you want to secure a spot ahead of time. They are sold to cover admission on both days of the two-day event, so keep that in mind.
For more information, including announcements about performing artists, please keep an eye on the official event website and social media channels:
