The Netherlands braces itself for a unique breed of techno experience this month. Awakenings Upclose, a new addition to the Awakenings festival family, takes place on May 18th and 19th at Houtrak (Spaarnwoude-Park). This two-day event promises a return to the festival's roots, focusing on an intimate connection between music lovers and the artists who soundrack their nights.
A Shift in Focus
Awakenings has carved a niche for itself as a titan of the techno scene, renowned for its grand productions and star-studded lineups. Awakenings Upclose departs from this tradition. Here, the spotlight isn't on the biggest names, but on the exploration of techno's diverse soundscape. The festival aims to be a journey through the genre's well-trodden paths and uncharted territories.
Unparalleled Sound and Unexpected Collaborations
Awakenings prioritizes sound quality, and Upclose promises to be no exception.
