What the 2025 newspapers tell
The year's theme, Orbyz, is a kingdom of ice and crystal. The Gathering issue announces it ("Orbyz is about to open!") with its Snow Lions and its crystal.
On the Wednesday before opening, a fire destroys the Mainstage. The Friday paper says it plainly: when it went to print, nobody knew yet how day one would go. It points to the app and the official channels. The Gathering did go ahead, with a second stage added.
On Saturday the tone changes: "Welcome to the Holy Grounds!". The paper thanks the crews who rebuilt a Mainstage in less than 48 hours and describes the crowd discovering the rebuilt stage.
Weekend 2 comes back to the story with "A Mainstage story", a photo report on the stage destroyed and rebuilt. The last issue, 36 pages long, also announces the birth of Steve Aoki's first son.
