Escapade Music Festival 2025 to Feature RL Grime, Disclosure, Kygo and More
15 years of Escapade magic will come to life this summer as the festival returns to Ottawa with a lineup that's sure to light up Canada's capital.
Organizers today revealed a massive lineup to meet the moment of its 15th anniversary. Heading to Escapade in June are RL Grime, Kygo, Disclosure, The Chainsmokers, Excision, Kaskade, Gryffin, Jessica Audiffred and Liquid Stranger, among others.
Fans can also look forward to stage takeovers from Subtronics' Cyclops Recordings and Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats, the latter of whom will be presenting a special "Anjuna25" edition in celebration of the iconic label's 25th anniversary. Check out the full lineup below.

The lineup isn't the only thing to be excited about. Escapade is making big waves for the festival's 15th anniversary by moving to a new location at the RA Centre Grounds, just five minutes from its former home of Lansdowne Park.
"While we've had amazing years at Lansdowne Park, upcoming changes, including construction at Aberdeen, make it impossible to produce the festival you know and love there," organizers said last week. "With limited space, we would have had to remove our 3rd stage, which we absolutely couldn’t do."
The move brings a cascade of exciting firsts and upgrades, promising an experience unlike any other in the festival’s history.
The Great Lawn Stage will be "bigger and better" with more room to dance, and the House Party Stage has moved outdoors to offer an open-air party fueled by four-on-the-floor beats. Elsewhere, the MEGASTRUCTURE Stage, a groundbreaking first for Eastern Canada, offers a "fully immersive experience" complete with a VIP platform for premium views.
Elsewhere, the Festival Village will debut a larger "Chill Zone" with a Ferris Wheel, expanded food options and interactive activations. The event will also feature more bathrooms and water stations this year.
Escapade returns to Ottawa from June 20-22, 2025. You can purchase tickets here.
