Beyond Wonderland 2025 had it all this year; top-name artists, a parade, unbelievable stage design, and hidden activities throughout the venue. Whether you attended this year’s event or just want to know what it was like, we have all the details.
Stages
Upon entering Beyond Wonderland, you were greeted by the iconic Beyond Wonderland arch and the Caterpillar’s Garden stage. This stage had a wide variety of artists from Wax Motif to Netsky to Odd Mob. Whenever you walked by, you were enthralled with the visual setup of the tent. The music had you moving and grooving as you got closer to the stage.
Behind the Caterpillar’s Garden was home to the techno crews, The Looking Glass. A new stage design meant to look like shards of glass made you feel like mirrors surrounding you. You could get lost here for hours dancing to the tunes of Boyz Noise and Deborah De Luca.
Continuing into the festival grounds, you would come upon the high-powered, high-energy vibes of the Cheshire Woods. This stage felt like you were in a Roman theater while the BPMs were cranked to the max by hardstyle legends like Darren Styles and Da Tweekaz.
Following the path would lead you to the main stage, the Queen’s Domain. Queen’s Domain was graced by some of the biggest names in EDM; Seven Lions, Illenium, Exicision, and Levity. The lasers were pushed to the absolute limit this year, blowing your mind every time they went off.
The final stage was Mad Hatter’s Castle, home to the bassheads for the weekend. Located on the race track and equipped with pyrotechnics, you could feel the heat as soon as you felt the bass. Legends like Zeds Dead, Wooli, and Kai Wachi came to play, leaving the crowd needing a neck brace.
Hidden Treasures
In addition to the amazing stages and music, Beyond Wonderland had so much more to offer, if you know where to look. In the VIP section at Queen’s Domain, there was a kandi trading outpost where you could trade kandi and trinkets. On each side of the festival, there were Ooka Hookah setups. Near Mad Hatter’s Castle there was a chill area where you could sit, listen to relaxing music, play poker with kandi, or have a “tea party.”
My favorite hidden treasure was the Mad Tea Party area. Hidden between the Looking Glass stage and the rest of the festival grounds, this area featured a huge tea party with interactive characters. The Beatbox artcar was here as well as a massive flower, a bar, food, and a photo op with a giant throne. If you missed this hidden spot, you should find it next year.
If you missed this year’s Beyond Wonderland or are already getting ready for 2026, tickets are now on sale. I look forward to going down the rabbit hole with you once again in 2026!
