Nominees Revealed, Fan Voting Opens for 2025 Electronic Dance Music Awards

Fan voting for the 2025 Electronic Dance Music Awards is now officially open after the nominees were officially revealed.

Driven by its fan-based voting system, the MTV-style EDMA ceremony takes place at the height of Miami Music Week and dishes out unique trophies that resemble DJ decks, including a functional jog-wheel. The invite-only event is returning to its home at the Eden Roc Miami Beach on Friday, March 28th.

The EDMAs are returning in collaboration with the International Dance Music Awards (IDMAs), touted as the longest-running awards ceremony dedicated to the electronic music industry. Pioneer DJ is also a partner of this year’s EDMAs, hydrated by BODYARMOR Sports Drink.

Nabbing nominations for the prestigious Dance Song Of The Year EDMA in 2025 are David Guetta and Alesso feat. Madison Love (“Never Going Home Tonight”), MEDUZA and HAYLA (“Another World”), Dom Dolla (“girl$”), Sonny Fodera, Jazzy and D.O.D. (“Somedays”), Adam Port and Stryv feat. Malachiii (“Move”) and Justice and Tame Impala (“Neverender”).

Elsewhere in the list of nominees, EDM.com is presenting the EDMA for Breakout Artist Of The Year. Vying for that hardware are Jex, Hedex, Sara Landry, Beltran, Cassian, Disco Lines, Levity, Hamdi and Max Styler. Digital Music Pool will present 10 categories, including Remix Of The Year and Best Use Of Sample.

Those who want to attend the EDMAs this year can now register for the event, access to which will be selected by organizers at random. However, to guarantee entry to the ceremony and experience all events happening at Eden Roc, fans can purchase a three-day pass to the Winter Music Conference (WMC), which is available now with $25 off using the code EDMWMC. The pass enables access to all WMC panels and events from March 26-28, including the official Winter Music Conference Pool Party on the 27th and the exclusive EDMAs Pool Party the following day.
