BURN ENERGY TOUR ‘25 DJ OPEN – SIGN-UP PAGE
Due date 16th of June 2025
This year, Burn doubles down on its commitment to the growth of Europe’s electronic underground with DJ Open—a bold new platform built to spotlight fresh talent. It’s designed for those artists who live and breathe the culture, who see the club not just as a stage, but as a space to challenge limits, express identity, and shape the future of sound.At its core, DJ Open is about supporting those who treat DJing as a craft, not just a trend. It’s made for artists who see the booth as a place of resistance, identity, and experimentation — the ones who shape the night instead of just following it.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take your sound further — this is it.
Apply now, step up, and bring your energy into the spotlight. Let the scene hear what it’s been missing.
