Presale tickets for SXM 2025 go on sale Nov. 14, with general tickets going on sale the following day.

Founded by Julian Prince, SXM has happened on St. Martin since 2016 and typically draws attendees from more then 35 countries. The 2025 edition of the festival will once again take place in locations around the island, including a private villa, a Sunday morning sunrise party on the beach, and the annual Panorama Party that happens on the island’s highest hilltop. The event will also offer day trips including hikes and cultural excursions.

In 2017, after the island was devastated by Hurricane Irma — which left an estimated 95% of the French side of the island destroyed — SXM organizers collected more than $38,000 for the relief effort. The event was one of the few festivals to happen in 2020 before the pandemic shut down the live events space, and after a postponed 2021 event also due to the pandemic, returned to Saint Martin in 2022.

Along with music and partying, SXM focuses on leaving a small footprint and helping replenish the area’s natural environments via initiatives that include going paperless, saving energy with LED and solar lights, and eliminating plastic waste throughout the festival.
