The uniqueness of the concept is also emphasized by the lineup itself. Dimitri Vegas has collaborated with Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer, the film-oriented visionary KSHMR is known for his ability to connect electronic music with distinctive production, R3HAB has worked on projects with Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, Ava Max, and ZAYN, and MORTEN, a pioneer of the Future Rave style, is among the DJs whose tracks are regularly played by Martin Garrix, Tiësto, and Armin van Buuren.
The Sound Chapter is not a one-time event, but a new long-term series that will present various forms of electronic music in the coming years. Each annual edition will offer its own musical focus, visual identity, and atmosphere. While the first chapter belongs to energetic festival EDM, future editions may feature, for example, trance, drum & bass, or other electronic genres.
A common denominator for all editions will be a large arena format, top-notch audiovisual production, and the concept of a unique evening dedicated to a specific musical direction.
The inaugural edition will feature a combination of four world DJs who regularly perform at the biggest festivals on the planet, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and EDC Las Vegas. Each of them represents a different approach to modern electronic music – from festival anthems to oriental melodies to the progressive sound of a new generation.
The emergence of the new series comes at a time when electronic music is experiencing extraordinary growth worldwide. According to the annual report by the International Music Summit, its market reached a record value of $15.1 billion in 2025, and electronic music is now among the most listened-to genres in most key global markets.
