ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) has completed its festival line-up for the 2025 edition, which is set to take place from January 15-18 in Groningen, in the Netherlands.

The full music line-up features 271 acts from 36 European countries to perform at ESNS25’s four-day showcase festival.

Final additions to the line-up include a number of acts from the Netherlands including Eva Vrijdag, Future Husband, Heath, Hiigo, Housepainters and more.

Previously announced performers include Spain’s Adelaida, France’s Adrien Soleiman Présente Bellejazzclub, the UK’s Antony Szmierek and Alessi Rose, Germany’s Aïta Mon Amour and Italy’s Bassolino.

The focus of the upcoming festival is Italy, with a number of acts representing the country. Acts are also selected by the European Broadcasting Union, those nominated for the MME Awards, European artists performing at Eurosonic and Dutch acts that traditionally wrap up ESNS at Noorderslag.

ESNS is a key exchange for emerging European music, and has previously featured now-international stars such as Christine and the Queens, Sam Smith, Hozier, Sigrid and Fontaines DC.

January’s edition will be the 39th, with 2026 representing the 40th anniversary of ESNS, which was founded in 1986.
