From John Summit’s viral anthems to Subtronics’ explosive dubstep drops, meet Ultra Festival’s most anticipated rising acts.
Ultra Festival 2025 is showcasing the next wave of EDM talent, featuring rising stars like 
Dom Dolla, John Summit, 
Mau P, 
Miss Monique, and 
Subtronics. But who exactly are these artists, and how did they become some of dance music’s biggest new headliners? Let’s take a closer look at their rapid rise:
John Summit – Chicago’s John Summit quickly rose from local DJ to a global tech-house star. His viral breakout Deep End dominated Beatport charts in 2020, and he’s since topped US Dance charts with singles like Human. Summit also launched his own label, Off The Grid, in 2022, headlining major festivals including Coachella and Tomorrowland. Rolling Stone recently labeled him “the hottest name in dance music,” and Variety praised him as one of EDM’s fastest-rising stars. At Ultra Festival 2025, Summit will also join forces with Dom Dolla for their collaborative project Everything Always, closing the main stage on March 28.
Dom Dolla – Australia’s Dom Dolla has rapidly grown into a mainstream house powerhouse. After landing a Grammy nomination for remixing Gorillaz’s New Gold, he dropped major hits like Miracle Maker and collaborated with pop icon Nelly Furtado on Eat Your Man. From club gigs to massive festivals and Las Vegas residencies, Dom sold 150,000 tickets for an Australian tour, solidifying his status as a global force in EDM.
Mau P – Amsterdam’s Mau P blew up quickly thanks to his viral hit Drugs From Amsterdam, which topped Beatport and amassed over 100 million Spotify streams. At just 26, he scored a sold-out North American tour and support from EDM giants like Calvin Harris and Tiësto for his track Gimme That Bounce. With upcoming performances at Ultra and Coachella, Mau P is a young tech-house star on a rapid rise.
Miss Monique – Ukrainian DJ Miss Monique (Olesia Arkusha) turned her YouTube mixes into an international career, quickly becoming Europe’s most prominent female progressive house DJ. Known for her iconic green hair and energetic performances, she gained millions of online views and played major stages like Tomorrowland. Miss Monique’s melodic techno sound continues to gain popularity, firmly placing her among EDM’s rising talents.
Subtronics – Bass music artist Subtronics (Jesse Kardon) transitioned from underground dubstep favorite to global EDM headliner. His 2022 debut album Fractals hit #4 on Billboard’s Dance chart, earning him a Times Square billboard. The follow-up sold-out Fractals tour featured high-tech visuals and massive arena crowds. Known for explosive live performances—including a memorable Ultra 2023 set—and viral hits like Griztronics, Subtronics is pushing bass music further into the mainstream spotlight.
