Full Circle Antwerp 2025 is calling and we’re looking for DJs who know how to take a crowd on a journey. This contest is for the lovers of raw energy and relentless BPMs. We’re looking for DJs who bring the heat in drum 'n' bass, hard techno or hardcore.

From all submissions, six finalists will be chosen to perform at the live finale event on Friday, October 10 in Kavka Oudaan on. From there, three winners (one per genre) will secure a slot on the official Full Circle Antwerp 2025 line-up:

• Drum 'n' bass: Closing slot on Saturday, November 8 at Club Vaag (hosted by Bad Habitz)
• Hard techno: Opening slot on Monday, November 10 at Club Vaag (hosted by Hard Harder Hardst)
• Gabber & hardcore: Opening slot on Saturday, November 8 at IKON (hosted by Corespiracy)

Before the final showdown, all selected finalists are invited to free masterclasses on Wednesday September 24 at Plug The Jack, hosted by performing artists from the FCA25 festival. The workshops are mandatory and happen during the day. Practical details to follow soon.

Winners not only get to play on the FCA25 line-up, but also receive a €80 Plug The Jack voucher to help sharpen their craft.
