SBC Summit 2025 is gearing up for an unforgettable start as chart-topping DJs Joel Corry and Imanbek are set to headline the highly anticipated Opening Party at Lisbon’s Urban Beach on Tuesday, 16 September.
Big Beats to Open SBC Summit 2025
Thousands of professionals from across the betting and iGaming sectors will come together for a lively evening of networking and entertainment at one of Lisbon’s most vibrant beachside venues.
Joel Corry, known for his dynamic fusion of dance, UK garage, and pop, has racked up more than 4 billion streams worldwide. His chart-topping tracks like “Head & Heart” (with MNEK) and “Sorry” have made him a household name, and he’s worked with major artists such as Charli XCX, RAYE, David Guetta, and Tom Grennan. Corry’s debut album Another Friday Night became the best-selling UK dance album of 2023. He’s also brought his energy to massive global festivals like Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and EDC Las Vegas.
Sharing the stage is Grammy-winning producer and DJ Imanbek. His breakout remix of “Roses” climbed to #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has earned over 2 billion streams on Spotify. From humble beginnings in a small Kazakhstani town to collaborations with stars like Usher, Sean Paul, Marshmello, Rita Ora, and Busta Rhymes, Imanbek’s meteoric rise continues to capture global attention.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to kick off SBC Summit 2025 with such incredible talent,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC. “Having Joel Corry and Imanbek headline our Opening Party at Urban Beach is the perfect way to celebrate what promises to be our most ambitious Summit to date. It’s all about bringing our industry together for world-class networking in an unforgettable setting.”
