The 2025 edition of the So W’Happy Festival has just closed its doors, leaving behind a trail of decibels, smiles, and an atmosphere more unleashed than ever. True to its reputation, the festival once again established itself as the unmissable event for fans of hardstyle, frenchcore, hardcore, gabber, and drum & bass, offering an immersive and explosive experience.
Mythical Stages and a Highly Anticipated Return
This year, the So W’Happy Festival shone with its rich scenography, featuring no less than four mythical stages that vibrated with the energy of festival-goers. But the real thrill came from the much-awaited return of the secret stage, whose jealously guarded location offered precious moments of intimacy and musical discovery to the most curious attendees.
The Mainstage, a true sonic colossus, once again stole the show. With its colossal dimensions – 100 meters wide and 26 meters high – and its sound system directly inspired by Tomorrowland, it delivered a pure and powerful sound, enveloping the crowd in a palpable wave of energy. Every beat, every melody, was a technical marvel that pushed the boundaries of the festival sound experience.
A Wild Atmosphere and a Memorable Set
The overall atmosphere of the So W’Happy Festival is inseparable from its hard dance spirit. Frenetic BPMs, incisive kicks, and catchy melodies transformed the site into a massive dancefloor where the energy never dropped. Festival-goers, dressed in their most eccentric outfits, celebrated this musical culture together with contagious passion.
The highlight of this edition was undoubtedly the set by the legendary Roland Cristal. His performance was a true sonic delirium, blending unexpected vocal performances with explosive transitions. Roland Cristal, true to himself, delivered a performance that was both wacky and absolutely explosive, infused with tekno sounds, leaving the crowd in a trance with a blissful smile on their faces. A moment of pure genius that made a lasting impression and reaffirmed his place as an undisputed icon of the scene.
Saint Olivier: A Hilarious Tradition
And as tradition dictates, Saint Olivier was once again part of the party! Coinciding with the festival, this reference has become a running gag dear to festival-goers. Every evening, at a key moment, a resounding chorus could be heard chanting a vibrant “OLIVIER!“, creating a moment of shared camaraderie and laughter that is now inseparable from the So W’Happy experience.
The 2025 edition of the So W’Happy Festival once again delivered on all its promises, confirming its status as a bastion of hardstyle, frenchcore, hardcore, gabber, drum & bass and a celebration of the festive spirit. We are already looking forward to the next edition!
