ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) Completes 2025 Lineup With 19 New Artists

ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag), which acts as a key four-day showcase for emerging European music, has announced the lineup for its 2025 edition. You can see the expanded bill below.

On Tuesday (Dec. 10), organizers shared the full lineup for next year’s festival, which features 19 newly added artists. Recent additions include Istanbul-Rotterdam pop artist Min Taka and Amsterdam trio Housepainters, plus Sudden Lights, an indie-rock band from Latvia. 

Delegate passes, tickets and timetable information are now all available via the official ESNS website. Three-day passes start at €100 ($104.98), while individual day tickets can be found for €55 ($57.74).

Taking place at venues across the city of Groningen, the Netherlands, between Jan. 15-18, the event will host 271 acts from 36 European countries, alongside its innovation and sustainability-focused industry conferences. The festival’s positioning in January allows it to act as a springboard for new music for the year.

Other previously announced acts include the Billboard 100-charting Jordan Adetunji, alongside other key U.K. emerging artists including Alessi Rose, Antony Szmierek, and Jacob Alon. Further European names include Slovenian rockers Astrid & The Scandals and viral Finnish singer-songwriter Joalin.

As part of its European Talent Exchange program, ESNS annually invites festival bookers and promoters from across the continent to witness a slew of new talent, and start amassing their lineups for the following summer. Since its inception in 2003, the initiative has helped 2292 artists to earn major festival bookings across the continent. 

ESNS 2024 saw performances from the Mercury Prize-nominated CMAT, as well as Lynks, Clarissa Connelly, and Eddington Again. Previous iterations of the event have bore witness to early shows from global stars such as Dua Lipa and Fontaines D.C. to Sigrid.
