This summer, music and mission come together in a powerful way. The third annual Keep the Dream Alive Festival (KTDA) is set to stream live from July 11th to 13th, 2025, uniting the global electronic music community for three days of performances, connection, and charitable impact.
This year’s festival promises a full weekend of music from over 80 music and visual artists across the electronic music scene. From emerging DJs to legendary headliners, the event showcases diverse talents, stunning visuals, and nonstop energy, all streamed for free, and in support of a cause that matters.
“We have a wide range of visual artists, who specialize in different styles, mediums, and formats —guaranteeing a fun and engaging experience for those watching the stream. There have been a good number of neuro.studio partners enlisted to help sling top of the line pixels for your viewing pleasure, amongst a ton of other super talented visual artists from all walks of the entertainment industry.” – KTDA
Every donation made during the stream will benefit Seven Mile, a Detroit-based nonprofit that helps youth access music, art, and tech education. From the last three livestreams, KTDA has raised more than $11,000 for Seven Mile and over $500 for Beloved Asheville, supporting the relief efforts after Hurricane Helene.
This year, KTDA will also host an online charity auction launching alongside the stream, featuring exclusive donation items from artists like GRiZ, Sunsquabi, Kaptain, McWavy, Krispee Biscuits, Father Figure, Floppy Drive, Deerskin, and more.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the festival or discovering it for the first time, this is the moment to join in. Mark your calendar, follow KTDA on social platforms, share the word with your friends, and get ready to experience three unforgettable days of sound, story, and solidarity.
Because when people come together through music with a shared dream, it’s not just a festival – it’s a movement.
A Mission Worth Amplifying
Keep The Dream Alive’s mission is simple yet powerful:
“Supporting children’s music education through artistic collaboration.”
At its core, the festival exists to raise awareness and funding for children’s access to music education. KTDA creates a vibrant, inclusive digital space where artists collaborate, audiences connect, and young aspiring artists benefit.
As the organization continues to grow, the team is working toward establishing full nonprofit status and expanding its reach to more charities focused on children’s music education.
“The inception of Keep The Dream Alive Charity Stream came from founder Murphy Fuller. When GRiZ took a hiatus from music in 2023, Murphy came up with the idea of having a live streaming event to raise money for Seven Mile in Detroit, Michigan, to help continue the effort for raising money for music education in December 2023. Jacob Butler joined in helping run the stream, and since that event, has helped with running, performing under the alias Butl3r, doing visuals under the alias LessThan3 Visuals, and helping oversee bookings for the Livestream Charity event.” – KTDA
How to Join the Movement
The Keep The Dream Alive Festival is completely free to watch and open to everyone around the world.
