BAKU, Azerbaijan (MNTV) — Azerbaijan is set to welcome global audiences to Dream Fest 2025, a four-day international music festival taking place from July 23 to 26 in the scenic Sea Breeze area on the Caspian Sea coast, local media reported.
Organizers say the event will deliver a dynamic blend of gala performances, heartfelt tributes, and nostalgic dance nights, featuring renowned artists from Azerbaijan and abroad.
The festival is expected to draw thousands of fans with its vibrant atmosphere and star-studded programming.
The festival will open on July 23 with a high-energy concert on the main stage, spotlighting a fusion of Azerbaijani musical talent and internationally acclaimed performers.
Confirmed acts include Nicole Scherzinger, EMIN, Zulfiyya Xanbabayeva, Brandon Stone, SEVANNA, Tunzale Aghayeva, and Miri Yusif, among others.
Returning to the festival, Nicole Scherzinger—who performed at last year’s edition—will appear in custom designs by Azerbaijani fashion label AFFFAIR, helmed by Rufat Ismailov.
Organizers note that this marks the first time so many of Azerbaijan’s leading artists will perform together on a single stage.
The second evening will be dedicated to the late Muslim Magomaev, one of Azerbaijan’s most revered artists.
His iconic songs will be reimagined by contemporary performers, offering audiences a fresh interpretation of his enduring legacy.
Alongside the tribute, solo concerts will be held by celebrated artists including Alessandro Safina, EMIN, Emilia Yagubova, Elchin Azizov, Nigar Jamal, Farrux Zokirov, and Blue, adding depth and variety to the evening’s program.
Dream Fest will evoke a wave of nostalgia on its third day, celebrating timeless dance hits from the 1980s and 1990s.
Themed as “Super Star Day,” the lineup includes first-time festival appearances by Sandra, Haddaway, In-Grid, Ottawan, Aqua, Kosheen, No Mercy, Kevin McCoy (of Bad Boys Blue), and Secret Service.
EMIN will also return to the stage, joining the international artists in a night that promises retro rhythms and non-stop dancing by the Caspian shore.
The closing day of the festival, dubbed “Super Hit Day,” will feature a powerful roster of chart-topping artists, delivering a grand finale filled with energetic performances and crowd favorites.
Performers for the final night include Tyga, Jah Khalib, Ceza, Alizade, and EMIN, capping off the four-day event with a mix of hip-hop, pop, and regional favorites.
