Djakarta Warehouse Project began its journey in 2008 as merely a club event that took place in Jakarta’s renowned Blowfish club called Blowfish Warehouse Project. The festival upholds one of the most consequential values that Indonesia possesses; diversity. A wide spectrum of sub-genres under the dance music category are given a platform through the multiple stages in the festival, one of them being the bird-shaped main stage called ‘Garuda Land’ inspired by the country’s coat of arms, Garuda Pancasila.
Throughout its ten editions, some of the world’s biggest acts have graced the stages of Djakarta Warehouse Project including Calvin Harris, Steve Aoki, Carl Cox, Skrillex, Tiesto, Diplo, Major Lazer, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Axwell x Ingrosso, and DJ Snake, amongst many. Starting from 2010, the festival has been held annually in the month of December as a one-day festival until it expanded into a two-day festival in 2014 and welcomed the world’s biggest paint party, Life in Color.
In 2015, Djakarta Warehouse Project was named 'Best EDM Festival 2015' by EDM Sauce. In 2016, the festival was attended by over 20,000 international visitors from 39 countries around the world over two days. The festival also hosted the Asian debut for Elrow's touring concept in Barcelona in 2017 with a special stage and colorful spectacle. That same year, hip hop acts made their debut at the festival with all members of the 88rising clan and Desiigner in attendance. In 2018, the festival made a triumphant return for its 10th Anniversary Edition on December 7, 8 & 9, 2018 at GWK Cultural Park, Bali for its first 3-day edition. A record-breaking homecoming celebration was held at JiExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, on December 13, 14 & 15, 2019, attracting over 90,000 visitors.
After two years of being held virtually until 2021 with DWPV and DWPV 2.0, 2022 witnessed the return of the much-missed offline version of Djakarta Warehouse Project, the epic return of which attracted over 34 countries in 3 days. In 2023, DWP celebrated its 15th anniversary edition at GWK Cultural Park, Bali.
This year DWP returns on December 12, 13, and 14, 2025 in Bali, Indonesia promising to deliver a spectacular experience and lineup.
