This year will be the 5th anniversary of the BPM Festival, an event originally conceived as an elite EDM networking event gone all Ultra/WMC. Last year Mixmag named it one of their 10 Best International Parties, and for good reason.

This year’s lineup is even more out of control – over 20 of the worlds best electronic music labels are represented along with 150+ elite DJs, many of which were listed on Resident Advisor’s top 100!
