Awakenings Upclose, from the team behind legendary techno festival Awakenings, makes its debut on 18 and 19 May 2024 at Houtrak (Spaarnwoude-park) in Amsterdam, and promises to explore musical landscapes ‘beyond the established techno spectrum’.
Featuring no less than 16 back-to-back sets, including Colin Benders x Speedy J, ROD x Stranger, Gigi FM x Kanding Ray, Perc x Wallis and Amoral x Beste Hira, as well as progressive techno sets from the likes of Donato Dozzy, FJAAK, Overmono and Marlon Hoffstadt, Awakenings Upclose will celebrate both established and emerging artists – indeed, some 25 artists on the lineup will be making their Awakenings debut.
Harder techno enthusiasts will also be catered for by the likes of 999999999, Rebekah, AnD, I Hate Models and Azyr, while Joris Voorn is promising to offer a ‘trip to the galaxy’ and Nina Kraviz will deliver a rare house set.
The moment has arrived. The reinvention of the Holy Ground is coming together. Six brand new, intimate stages are waiting for you to explore, hosted by over 80 artists, featuring unparalleled B2B sessions and immersive sets.

‘Experience artists and your fellow techno heads more upclose than ever before at Awakenings. Awakenings Upclose stands as a testament to Awakenings’ roots of techno and the modern-day interpretation that is born from those very same roots.’
