The most talked-about night belonged to David Guetta’s The Monolith Experience—a breathtaking fusion of towering visuals, pulsating production, and time-defining beats that transformed the crowd into one electrified heartbeat.

The magic peaked when Nora Fatehi made a show-stopping appearance, joining Guetta on stage in a sizzling, surprise collaboration that crackled with chemistry and left the audience buzzing—a true highlight, blending global star power with local fire.

The stage ignited when Nora Fatehi and David Guetta teased their global anthem Fire Starter—featuring Ciara—at Sunburn 2025, debuting a special remix live under the Mumbai sky.

Pulsing beats, explosive visuals, and Nora’s magnetic energy fused perfectly with Guetta’s iconic sound, creating a moment that felt both electric and historic. More than a performance, it was a cultural crossover—Nora shining as a global force, blending worlds with grace and fire. The unreleased track already set the festival ablaze.

David Guetta masterfully blended nostalgia and fire—spinning timeless anthems like *Titanium*, *Without You*, and *Play Hard* into explosive drops that ignited the crowd. Reimagined remixes of *FE!N*, *Where The Hell Is My Husband*, and *Forever Young* kept the energy sky-high, each beat syncing with a sea of lights, voices, and raised hands. On the Beyond Infinity stage, he didn’t just play music—he conducted pure, collective euphoria. 🌌🔊

Sunburn 2025 closed with a masterpiece as Axwell brought the Mumbai crowd to its feet in a finale of pure progressive house magic. His set—pulsing with anthems like *Don’t You Worry Child*, *More Than You Know*, and *Sun Is Shining*—fused emotional depth with soaring beats, turning the festival into one unified moment of joy. A triumphant end, bathed in light, sound, and shared euphoria. 🌅🎶

Axwell’s closing set was more than a performance—it was a journey.From the first chord of Sun Is Shining to the final crescendo of Don’t You Worry Child, he masterfully built waves of emotion, blending melodic house with deep, driving grooves that resonated across Infinity Bay.

The crowd moved as one, voices rising under the stars, turning each anthem into a collective embrace.In that moment, music wasn’t just heard—it was felt. A perfect end to a historic festival.

“Thank you for the magic tonight. I don’t want this to end but it has to sooner or later,” he said, drawing a wave of applause and an unmistakable emotional response from the audience, Axwell.

For a festival traditionally synonymous with high-energy EDM, Hawtin’s brand of minimalist, high-concept techno was always going to be the “intellectual” outlier. On December 19, 2025, at the industrial-leaning Infinity Bay in Sewri, that risk paid off.

Hawtin didn’t just play a set; he conducted a masterclass. While other stages leaned into pyrotechnics and sing-along anthems, Hawtin’s stage was a study in hypnotic restraint. His performance was surgical—building tension through microscopic rhythmic shifts that turned the seaside venue into an immersive, dark warehouse experience.

Fans described the set as a “sensory trip” that prioritized flow over frequent drops, successfully bringing an underground sensibility to the massive festival scale.

Above & Beyond’s Day 3 set at Sunburn Mumbai 2025 was more than just a performance; it was a homecoming. Their ability to deliver anthemic waves of trance that felt both intimate and monumental proved that even as the EDM landscape shifts toward harder techno, their message of ‘sentiment and feelings’ remains a powerful, unifying force.

Above & Beyond’s performance was deeply symbolic; the trio named their label Anjunabeats 25 years ago after Goa’s Anjuna beach, and they headlined the very first Sunburn in 2007.

The set was a masterclass in their “signature trance-infused narrative,” blending soul-stirring melodies with powerful songwriting.* Key Tracks: Fans were treated to an “emotional journey” featuring anthems like:* “Sun & Moon” * “Start A Fire” * “Carry Me Home” * “Thing Called Love” * “We’re All We Need”

Sara Landry’s India debut at Sunburn 2025 in Mumbai was a defining moment for the festival, transforming the Infinity Bay, Sewri venue into a massive, dark “pulsating monument of sound”. Headlining Day 1 on December 19, 2025, she delivered an uncompromising set of “witchy warehouse techno” that signaled a major cultural shift toward harder, high-tempo sounds in India’s electronic music scene.

The ‘Beyond Infinity’ mainstage was reimagined to match her dark aesthetic, creating an immersive, industrial atmosphere. Large screens projected imagery of Landry alongside occult-inspired visuals like crescent moons, enhancing the “witchy” vibe of the set.
“Thank you, Mumbai. You guys are amazing, I’m so glad to be here and playing for you guys” Sara.

Sara’s set surged with powerhouse tracks—Girlboss, Pressure, Play With Me, Heaven, and Legacy—each dropping with precision and raw energy.Seamless, exclusive edits and razor-sharp transitions elevated the momentum, building waves of sound that pulsed through the crowd.

Layla Benitez’s performance at Sunburn Festival 2025 in Mumbai was highly regarded as a standout “nuanced artistry” contribution to the festival’s diverse musical tapestry. Performing at the debut Mumbai edition held at Infinity Bay, Sewri, she was praised for bridging the gap between underground sounds and the massive festival stage.

Her set was characterized by a blend of deep house, tribal rhythms, and atmospheric grooves, which added a sophisticated layer to the high-energy weekend. Her performance as an “essential building block” of the festival, contributing to a “living, breathing musical ecosystem” alongside headliners like Axwell and Above & Beyond.
Layla expressed that playing at Sunburn was a long-held dream, describing the experience as one of intense emotion and connection with the Indian audience.

As part of a star-studded lineup at Infinity Bay, Sewri, the Italian melodic techno duo delivered a set that stood out for its emotional depth and visual storytelling.

Unlike their typical club shows, Mathame tailored their Sunburn set to be more high-octane and “energetic” to match the massive festival atmosphere.
Mathame openly embraced Artificial Intelligence as a “brilliant companion” in their creative process, using it to raise the quality bar and find new ideas for their India performance.

Vini Vici’s performance at Sunburn Festival 2025 in Mumbai was widely reviewed as a high-octane, “hard-hitting” set that successfully anchored the festival’s trance and psytrance offerings.
