The inaugural Awakenings Summer Festival is just around the bend, presenting the rarely explored but seemingly complimentary middle ground between free-spirited camping festivals and unctuous techno events. Awakenings is long known for its trendsetting lineups and deeply immersive if not a bit zany live productions, but a three day camping festival is something that the company has targeted for years on end, according to founder Rocco Veenboer,
“As a festival organization, we are always on the move and always ask ourselves how something can be better or more beautiful. Awakenings Festival once started as a one-day festival and was expanded to two days in 2014. However, we felt that there was still much more in it.” He continues, “The fact that we are able to realize this new chapter of Awakenings in Hilvarenbeek is a dream come true.”
During the weekend of July 29 – 31, Awakenings Summer Festival stakes their tents in the south of The Netherlands, bringing a who’s who of blistering techno talent to the lakefront fiesta. From contemporary headliners like Adam Beyer, ANNA, and Charlotte De Witte, to icons of the game such as Chris Liebing, Jeff Mills, Ricardo Villalobos, and the eponymous Richie Hawtin, Awakenings events are a sure shot for juicy lineups. Those looking to explore between the lines can find radiant talents like FJAAK (live), I Hate Models, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Loco Dice, Reinier Zonneveld, and America’s very own Maceo Plex, or lose themselves in the entrancing and whimsy-infused event grounds.
