UNESCO-Welterbe Zollverein, Essen
The Stone Techno Series & Festival is a new kind of multidisciplinary experiment and brings different aspects together.

Stone Techno

Despite still being under construction, the Ruhr Area, as a polycentric and post-industrial spot of renovation and future oriented transformation, is unmatched and unique worldwide. Where chimneys used to darken the sky and whole generations of the working class spend their entire lifespan mining under the ground, re-naturation and cultivation took place - so that the former institutions of blood, sweat and tears became pillars of our homelands fascinating new existence.

In this tradition, the Stone Techno Festival is the biggest multidisciplinary project with a musical, cultural, political, scientific and social approach. Taking place at a simply breath-taking location, the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein in Essen, protagonists and lovers of contemporary electronic dance music come together to celebrate a weekend dedicated to techno culture in its purest form.

After the first Stone Techno concert at the Ruhr Museum in 2021, Stone Techno and ARTE Concert partnered for the third consecutive year, capturing a stunning selection of sets from the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein for the second edition of the Stone Techno Festival. With an increased number of live streams, this year's collaboration aims to surpass previous successes by seamlessly merging music, art, and science to captivate an even larger audience.

The 2023 edition was a masterclass in artistic curation. Veterans of the Sónar stage like Aphex Twin, Black Coffee, Richie Hawtin, DJ Holographic, and Eric Prydz returned, their presence a testament to the festival's enduring legacy. But Sónar isn't one to rest on its laurels. Alongside these established legends were a plethora of fresh faces: BICEP, Honey Dijon, Peggy Gou, and Little Simz brought a new energy, showcasing the diverse directions electronic music is taking.

The focus wasn't solely on established names.
