Two days of electronic music, six stages, and thousands of fans defined the tenth edition of the Baum Festival.

A decade after its first edition, the Baum Festival celebrated its 10th anniversary with a program that crossed generations, styles, and backgrounds. Two days, six stages, and dozens of international and national acts marked an edition that brought together thousands of attendees at Corferias , which was transformed into a dance floor.
Among the most anticipated acts were Claptone, Dubfire, Armand Van Helden and the B2B between Sam Paganini and Len Faki, who performed between Saturday and early Sunday morning on the Stamm Stage, one of the central hubs of the festival.

Claptone was greeted by an audience that had already filled the Stamm Stage hours beforehand. His set began just after 8:30 p.m. and maintained a consistent mix, rhythm, and structure, with the audience energetically accompanying each transition. His performance marked a reunion: he was one of the first international artists at the first Baum Festival held in 2015 , and now, a decade later, he returned to the same venue that saw him consolidate his reputation with the Colombian public.
Dubfire, who also attended the first edition of Baum, took to the decks at 10 p.m. for a nearly hour-and-a-half set that combined classic elements from his catalog with more recent explorations such as Ride, Lotus , and I Feel Speed . His performance maintained a progressive tone, without any major surprises, but with the solidity of someone who knows the scene, the sound, and the space inside out.

Armand Van Helden 's appearance at midnight changed the tone of the Páramo stage. His set explored different moments in house music, with clear references to the club culture of the '90s and '00s. Bass lines and vocal breaks punctuated the hour and a half, which closed with his iconic "You Don't Know Me."
Sam Paganini and Len Faki, meeting in the early morning At 1:00 a.m., one of the most anticipated sets began: the B2B between Sam Paganini and Len Faki. For over an hour and a half, the two German producers took the audience through distinct segments of contemporary techno. Paganini's lines found their counterpart in Faki's denser layers, and the set unfolded like a tight block.
The Baum x Blackworks stage was one of the busiest throughout the day. Starting at 4:00 p.m., B444dlove, Diossa, Keith Barrera B2B Lourdes, and Skryption B2B Barbara Lago launched a sequence of performances that reflected both the current state of the national scene and its connection to global trends. Closing the stage was Adrián Mills and Cloudy in a B2B that combined genres such as acid hardcore and hardstyle.

Meanwhile, the Páramo stage featured Carl Craig 's performance at 10:30 p.m., followed by Armand Van Helden and, towards the end, Green Velvet. At Takeover x Insurgentes , Huerco S., Verraco and Pangaea maintained a more experimental approach, with a lower density of audiences but a high level of attention to sound design.
Closing with Artbat, Fatboy Slim and Indira Paganotto The second day of the Baum Festival was marked by three headline acts that brought the celebration to a close. At 10 p.m., Artbat took over the dance floor. The Ukrainian duo, known for their focus on melodic house and techno, presented a set that highlighted their sound, driven by their Upperground label.

At 11:30 p.m., it was Fatboy Slim's turn. The British artist, one of the most influential names in the history of big beat, led a session filled with references to the different eras of electronic music he has played over the decades.
Closing the Stamm stage was Indira Paganotto , a Spanish DJ and producer who has toured major festivals worldwide. Her performance focused on a blend of techno with elements of psy-trance, one of the most recognizable characteristics of her sound. This event concluded the 10th edition of the Baum Festival.
