Monegros Desert Festival returns in 2025
After the success of its thirty-first edition of 2024, held on July 27, Monegros Desert Festival announces its long-awaited return on July 26, 2025. The iconic event will once again bring together thousands of electronic music lovers in one of the most unique settings in the world: the Monegros desert.
For 22 uninterrupted hours, an ephemeral city will emerge from nowhere, transforming the arid landscape into a center of energy and music. More than 50,000 people will join, as every year, to vibrate to the rhythm of the best DJs of the most current electronic and techno scene and live an experience that transcends the usual in festivals.
Not everyone dares to face the challenging conditions of the desert, but the authentic Monegrinos know that what awaits them goes far beyond a simple party. For one day, a volatile city is cemented in the middle of nowhere to become the epicenter of electronic music. More than 50,000 souls gather to the rhythm of the best DJs in the world, creating an atmosphere that can only be experienced in this inhospitable and legendary place.
The festival is much more than music; It is a sensory experience where the connection with the environment plays an essential role. As night falls, the desert transforms into an enigmatic setting where darkness and wind invite adventure. At dawn, the light reveals the true spirit of Monegros: each grain of sand tells a story, and each step brings you closer to the essence of this unique place.
The festival’s motto, “This is not for you,” is an invitation to embrace the unexpected. Monegros challenges the limits and each edition is a challenge for the attendees: not only because of its location, but also because of the intensity of the experience. However, those who accept the challenge, discover that there is a Monegrino waiting to awaken inside.
“There are two types of Monegrinos; those who are and those who do not yet know it. This year we are waiting for all of them, because we promise to surpass ourselves in every detail to offer you the festival of your lives”, say Cruz and Juan Arnau, founders of Monegros.
“One more year, the sand will vibrate with the bass of our desert sounds. Techno will continue to be the main attraction of the desert but we cannot forget hip hop or drum n bass along with other urban sounds such as dub and dubstep. For the second year we recover Psy Trance, with Own Spirit & our Minds, as well as house or disco that moves to privileged corners of the desert,” says Victor de la Serna, musical director of the festival.
