Information

The Awakenings Summer Festival 2024 is the latest iteration of a Dutch techno institution, tracing its roots back to 1997. Organized by Monumental Productions BV, Awakenings began as a series of techno parties, quickly establishing itself as a cornerstone of the Netherlands' electronic music scene. The name itself, "Awakenings," holds a unique historical reference. Originally conceived for an Easter-themed event, the organizer, Rocco Veenboer, sought a name with deeper meaning, ultimately landing on "Awakenings" in allusion to the resurrection of Jesus.

From its intimate beginnings in Amsterdam's Westergasfabriek, featuring iconic DJs like Derrick May and Richie Hawtin, Awakenings has undergone a remarkable evolution. The early 2000s saw a relocation to Rotterdam and a shift towards a dedicated summer festival format. Today, the Awakenings Summer Festival in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands, stands as a global destination for techno devotees.

The 2024 edition promises an unparalleled techno experience. Spread across three electrifying days (July 5-7), the festival boasts a lineup exceeding 125 artists, representing the diverse spectrum of techno subgenres. Renowned names like Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, and Tale of Us are poised to headline, ensuring an unforgettable experience for attendees. Beyond the music, Awakenings fosters a vibrant camping scene, where festival-goers from over 80 countries converge, creating a truly international community. The festival grounds themselves are meticulously designed to enhance the experience, featuring multiple stages with cutting-edge production and lighting that complement the driving rhythms of techno.

The Awakenings Summer Festival transcends the boundaries of a typical music event. It's a meticulously curated pilgrimage for techno enthusiasts, a platform for discovering new sounds, and a celebration of a genre that continues to push boundaries.
