B2B sets took center stage throughout 2025, becoming one of the most defining elements of the global electronic music landscape.
Across major festivals and club stages, these collaborations began to take shape.
They also appeared at destination venues, where artists from different genres, touring circuits, and creative backgrounds finally shared the same stage.
As a result, the B2B format, even B3B, evolved from a rare surprise into a carefully curated highlight on many of the year’s biggest lineups.
High-profile names such as Martin Garrix, Marshmello, Anyma, Solomun, DJ Snake, Skrillex, ISOxo, Zedd, Knock2, R3HAB, KSHMR, Oliver Heldens, Armin van Buuren, and Maddix all took part in notable collaborations.
These appearances spanned events like Ultra Music Festival Miami, Electric Forest, Escape Psycho Circus, Niteharts Festival, and Amsterdam Dance Event, as well as club and destination shows at UNVRS Ibiza and open-air locations across Europe.
Anyma and Solomun B2B Sets
Anyma and Solomun crossed paths multiple times during 2025, including confirmed sets at Ultra Music Festival Miami and Tomorrowland.
These appearances placed the duo on two of the year’s most visible stages.
Musically, the pairing reflected a natural overlap between Anyma’s melodic techno direction and Solomun’s long-established Diynamic sound.
Beyond festival stages, their connection extended into industry events and after-parties, including a widely discussed private afters in Los Angeles.
The collaboration did not stop on stage.
It later reached the studio with the release of “Till I Die” on Diynamic, expanding their B2B into a broader creative partnership.
Crankdat B2B Levity B2B Tape B
At Electric Forest 2025 in Rothbury, Michigan, Crankdat, Levity, and Tape B delivered one of the weekend’s most talked-about B3B sets.
Shortly after the festival, full recordings circulated widely online, fueling attention around the performance.
Later in the year, the connection between Crankdat and Levity continued with the release of their joint remix of “Let’s Get It Started.”
Tape B’s involvement completed the bass-heavy trio, aligning the set closely with Electric Forest’s heavier side.
DJ Snake and Marshmello B2B Sets
DJ Snake and Marshmello joined forces at Escape Psycho Circus 2025 during Halloween weekend in San Bernardino.
The pairing stood out because their solo careers rarely intersect on stage, despite both operating at the top level of global festivals.
Rather than experimenting with unreleased material, the set focused on familiar records from both catalogs.
As a result, the performance leaned on recognition and crowd energy, making it one of the most unexpected collaborations of the year.
HΛLØ (DubVision B2B Third Party B2B Matisse & Sadko)
HΛLØ officially debuted as a named project during Amsterdam Dance Event 2025.
The collaboration united DubVision, Third Party, and Matisse & Sadko, who had already shared multiple B3B appearances earlier in the year.
By presenting the project under a single name, the trio clarified that HΛLØ was more than a one-off experiment.
With a confirmed large-scale show at Ziggo Dome in 2026, the project established itself as an ongoing progressive house collaboration.
ISOxo and Skrillex B2B Sets
ISOxo and Skrillex delivered a B2B set at Niteharts Festival 2025 in San Diego, built on an existing musical relationship rather than a spontaneous pairing.
The performance blended Skrillex’s recent catalog with tracks closely tied to ISOxo’s live sets.
Their shared release “fuzE” served as a clear connection point, anchoring the set in music already familiar to fans of both artists.
This continuity helped the collaboration feel cohesive and intentional.

KI/KI B2B Marlon Hoffstadt
KI/KI and Marlon Hoffstadt met on a beach in Belgium for a B2B sets that stayed true to both artists’ established sounds.
She leaned into acid techno, trance, and early rave influences, while Hoffstadt focused on modern trance and club records.
The open-air setting matched their musical direction, allowing the collaboration to feel natural without forcing either artist outside their usual lane.
KSHMR B2B R3HAB
KSHMR and R3HAB teamed up at Escape Psycho Circus 2025, building on their prior studio connection through the track “Karate.”
During the set, KSHMR emphasized his melodic and big-room catalog, while R3HAB added club-driven and crossover selections.
Instead of debuting new joint material, the performance highlighted established tracks from both artists, reinforcing their compatibility on stage.
Martin Garrix B2B Marshmello
Martin Garrix and Marshmello shared a rare B2B set at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2025.
The venue itself added weight to the collaboration, as Red Rocks is typically reserved for solo headline shows.
Throughout the performance, both artists focused on well-known releases from their individual catalogs.
The appearance remained a standalone moment rather than the start of a broader run of shared sets.
Oliver Heldens B3B Armin van Buuren B3B Maddix
At Ultra Music Festival Miami 2025, Oliver Heldens, Armin van Buuren, and Maddix delivered a genre-spanning B3B performance.
Heldens opened the flow with familiar Heldeep staples.
Armin followed by diving into his ASOT-driven trance selections.
Maddix then pushed the energy higher with tracks drawn from his Revealed and Extatic releases.
Together, the trio created a set that balanced house, trance, and big-room energy while staying true to their individual identities.
Zedd and Knock2 B2B sets
They came together at Niteharts Festival 2025, highlighting a contrast between two different generations of electronic music.
Zedd played globally recognized releases from across his career, while Knock2 introduced high-impact club tracks tied to his rapid rise.
Rather than blending styles into a new direction, the set stood out because of the clear contrast between their catalogs.
Axwell B2B Steve Angello B2B Sebastian Ingrosso
At Tomorrowland 2025, Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso reunited for a rare B3B DJ set.
Presented explicitly as a back-to-back-to-back performance, the set emphasized live DJing rather than a branded Swedish House Mafia show.
Positioned on the Crystal Garden stage, the appearance blended solo material with familiar SHM records.
It stood as a legacy-driven moment rooted in history rather than new releases.
Looking Ahead After a Landmark Year
Across 2025, DJ B2B and B3B sets became a regular and anticipated part of major lineups.
Appearances from Anyma B2B Solomun, ISOxo B2B Skrillex, DJ Snake B2B Marshmello, KSHMR B2B R3HAB, KI/KI B2B Marlon Hoffstadt, Zedd B2B Knock2, and the HΛLØ project showed how the format has evolved.
As attention now shifts toward 2026, fans are already watching for which long-discussed collaborations will finally reach the stage.
With B2B culture firmly established, the question is no longer if these pairings will happen, but which ones will define the next chapter.
