The full festival takes place over a nine-day period, with the Youth Beatz Fringe taking place across every ward area the region, culminating in the two main event days on Saturday June 28 and Sunday June 29 at Park Farm.
The main event days will be attended by 20,000 people per day, and Youth Beatz 2025 will continue to deliver a wide range of activities, musical performances from emerging young talent from across Dumfries and Galloway, as well as welcoming chart-topping DJ, producer Jax Jones.

Scottish crowds always bring the most fun and I know that it will be the same this Summer. Bring your dancing shoes because its going to be great!”
