W Hotels Expands its Signature 'W Presents' Series with the Unveiling of the 2025 Global Tour Lineup

 Spotlighting emerging and established talent across iconic destinations, W PRESENTS makes a bold return.

BETHESDA, Md., June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- W Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, is continuing the momentum of its celebrated W PRESENTS live music series for a third consecutive year led by W Hotels Global Music Director, LP Giobbi. Staying true to its mission to fuse the worlds of music and luxury lifestyle hospitality, the 2025 lineup will feature more than 15 dynamic performances around the globe, handpicked by LP Giobbi and cementing the brand's status as a cultural tastemaker and a catalyst for entertainment-driven luxury. From W Budapest to W Maldives, and W New York – Union Square to the brand's first all-inclusive – W Punta Cana, W PRESENTS transforms each hotel into a stage – blending travel and cultural connection in sought-after destinations.

Launched in 2023 as an innovative live music showcase, W PRESENTS has quickly become an exciting platform at the intersection of music and travel. Building on the success of its first two years, the 2025 iteration will sync with major moments across the brand's global portfolio – turning W Hotels into vibrant cultural hubs where guests can discover the sounds and scenes shaping today's music landscape. Rooted in the brand's legacy as a music authority, the W PRESENTS series builds on the brand's decades-long, steadfast support for sound, style, and cultural expression.

"W PRESENTS is a powerful platform for W Hotels – a brand that's always been anchored in sound, scene, and self-expression," shares George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, W Hotels. "As music-led travel continues to surge, W Hotels remains a cultural connector, setting the stage for discovery and unforgettable experiences that blur the line between performance and place. Through groundbreaking live sets and immersive experiences, we're redefining how music and hospitality come together to create those moments that you just had to be there for."

Expanding the experience even further, this past May, W Hotels debuted its first ever, W PRESENTS Retreat at W Koh Samui, a weekend-long immersive extension of the series. Featuring a lineup of cutting-edge artists including Bonobo and Sofia Kourtesis, and curated multi-day programming, the retreat captures the brand's evolved vision of hospitality: transforming live music into a deeper, more intimate experience centered around discovery and creativity.

W PRESENTS continues to amplify underrepresented voices in music through its ongoing partnership with FEMME HOUSE – the nonprofit co-founded by LP Giobbi that creates opportunities for women, gender-expansive, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ creatives in the industry. This year, the collaboration deepens with a slate of immersive programming designed to break down barriers and build community. Select W PRESENTS tour stops will host complimentary, in-person FEMME HOUSE workshops – beginner-friendly sessions in DJing and music production that are open to guests. In addition, FEMME HOUSE artists will take the stage as featured openers, providing performance opportunities, visibility, and community support. This partnership underscores the brand's longstanding commitment to creating inclusive spaces where sound, self-expression, and storytelling converge.

"W PRESENTS is more than a stage – it's a statement. It's about centering joy, diversity, and creativity in spaces that welcome all," shares LP Giobbi, Global Music Director, W Hotels. "Through our continued collaboration with FEMME HOUSE, an organization near and dear to my heart, we're not just showcasing talent, we're helping shape a more equitable future for music. This year's lineup is especially exciting because it reflects both discovery and familiarity: we're welcoming new voices into the fold while also bringing back artists our guests already know and love. It's a celebration of connection and the transformative power of sound."

Since its inception, W PRESENTS has transformed W Hotels around the world, from W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal to W Osaka, into stages for visionary artists like Channel Tres, DJ_Dave, Neil Frances, Aluna, and more.
