Rhythm and Alps has announced the return of Synthony to the 2025 festival as an official headliner.


Synthony played at the festival two years ago and there have been “many, many requests for their return”, Rhythm and Alps organisers said.



The fusion of 60-piece orchestra, DJs, live vocalists and immersive visuals, is now confirmed to join the celebrations in the Cardrona Valley this December 29 - 31.


Rhythm and Alps is gearing up for its biggest event yet, marking a milestone year with more than 10,000 festival goers expected to make the pilgrimage for the three-day experience.


UK heavyweights Rudim3ntal, genre-defying icon Santigold, and grime pioneer Dizzee Rascal are already in the lineup, which also includes sets from Badger, Catching Cairo, Chaos In The CBD, Corrella, Disco Dom (Dombresky), Fish56Octagon, Gentlemens Club, KANINE, Kurupt FM, Swimming Paul, and The Black Seeds.


There will also be dialled-in performances from Beccie B, Dick Johnson, Fiona & The Glow, Halfqueen, Lady Shaka, Natty Lou, Nice Girl, Pages Layn, SUUNE, and Th' Goodside.
