Awakenings

As the country's largest techno event, Awakenings is an institution in the Netherlands. The festival returns to its regular spot in Spaarnwoude (between Amsterdam and neighbouring Haarlem) to celebrate its tenth birthday on 25 June.

A techno dream
Awakenings always guarantees an international DJ line-up to get techno-lovers' pulses racing and the winning formula continues in 2011.

After party in Amsterdam
And as the sun sets and the techno buzz dies down in Spaarnwoude, the Awakenings party continues back in Amsterdam. The after party featuring yet more top names kicks off at the Paradiso at 22:00 with all three venues open until 05:00.
