The Iconic RFK Festival Grounds: A DC Hub for EDM
The festival will once again call the historic RFK Festival Grounds its home. Located at 2500 Independence Ave SE in Washington, D.C., the venue is a massive, open-air space that has proven to be an excellent location for large-scale electronic music events. Its proximity to the city center and easy access via public transportation (the Metro’s Blue, Orange, and Silver lines) make it an ideal location for both local and out-of-town attendees.
The RFK Festival Grounds offer ample space for the two main stages, the immersive art installations that Insomniac is famous for, and the various vendor and chill zones. The venue’s layout is designed to maximize sound quality and crowd flow, ensuring a comfortable and vibrant experience for all attendees. This venue is a staple in the D.C. music scene, cementing Project GLOW's place as a cornerstone of the region's EDM culture.
The First Wave Lineup Announcement: Headliners That Shine
While the full lineup is always a highly anticipated reveal, Project GLOW has already dropped a massive hint at the star power gracing the stage in 2025. The festival, known for curating a diverse mix of House, Techno, Trance, and Dubstep, has confirmed several top-tier headliners that guarantee a high-energy weekend.
The initial wave of confirmed headliners includes:
- Tiësto: A global icon and pioneer of the electronic music scene, his presence guarantees a legendary main stage set.
- Chris Lake: A powerhouse in the House music world, known for his infectious basslines and high-energy performances.

- Subtronics: A leading figure in the Bass and Dubstep genre, bringing heavy-hitting sounds to the RFK grounds.
This early lineup reveal showcases the festival's commitment to delivering a balanced musical experience, catering to fans of both melodic and harder styles of electronic music. The collaboration between Insomniac and Club GLOW ensures a roster filled with both international superstars and rising talent, often featuring artists closely associated with the Club GLOW brand and D.C.'s vibrant nightlife.
Project GLOW's Topical Authority: Insomniac and Club GLOW
The success and high production value of Project GLOW are directly attributable to the two powerhouse entities behind it: Insomniac Events and Club GLOW. This partnership is what elevates the festival above many regional events, providing a unique blend of West Coast festival expertise and East Coast nightlife legacy.
Insomniac Events, founded by CEO Pasquale Rotella, is responsible for some of the world's largest and most famous festivals, including Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). Their involvement guarantees world-class production, stunning stage designs, elaborate pyrotechnics, and the use of their signature "Headliner" culture, which emphasizes community and positive vibes.
Club GLOW is the longest-running electronic music promoter in Washington, D.C., with decades of history hosting major acts at venues like Echostage. Their deep roots in the D.C. scene and understanding of the local audience ensure that the festival is authentically connected to the city's music history. The festival is essentially a massive outdoor extension of the Club GLOW experience.
