Elements Music Festival 2025 – Top 5 Sets
HI-LO – Air Stage – Saturday
Clearly the most riveting and memorable set of the weekend came from – HI-LO, Oliver Heldens’ techno alias. The artist transformed Elements Music Festival into a high-octane rave on Saturday with a peak, two-hour energetic performance at the Air Stage becoming the most standout set of the festival. The artist showcased his prowess on the decks as a DJ who can deliver a range of genres, as he increased each track’s BPMs in increments, which elevated his sound higher and higher. Mesmerizing dancers and keeping them hooked for the set’s two-hour entirety, this performance made it clear that his techno alias is more than just a transitory dabble in a new genre, but one that has redefined him as an artist and is here to stay.
BUNT. – Air Stage – Sunday
