Cue the Men in Black neuralyzers, because if you told us Will Smith would be headlining an EDM festival in 2025, we’d swear we were imagining things.
The Academy Award-winning actor is set to headline Spain’s Dreambeach Festival, which is scheduled for August 7-10 at the scenic Villaricos Beach. While he’s no stranger to performing—his ’90s rap hits with DJ Jazzy Jeff still hold cultural weight—his presence at a festival dominated by electronic artists raises eyebrows.
Smith is headlining Dreambeach alongside Steve Aoki and Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello. The festival’s 2025 lineup also includes Nicky Romero, Subtronics, Sub Focus, Space Laces, Dimension, Showtek and EDM.com Class of 2023 artist Indira Paganotto, among others.
Smith today also revealed his first album in 20 years, Based on a True Story, which is due out in March via SLANG Recordings. The album is likely to feature electronic music after he spent time in Ibiza “working on new music, drawing inspiration from the dance scene on the island” in the summer of 2024.
Tickets to Dreambeach 2025 are available now. You can check out the full lineup below and find more information on the festival’s website.
