Audio Obscura Announces 9-Hour Rave on Amsterdam’s A10 Highway
Have you ever heard of electronic music street parties like Rave The Planet Parade in Berlin or the Paris Techno Parade in France? Well, the Netherlands, and more specifically, Amsterdam, is about to take the concept of a “street party” to the next level with Audio Obscura that will host a 9-hour rave on the A10 Zuid highway.
On Saturday, June 21st, Amsterdam’s A10 Ring Road will be transformed into a 15-kilometer-long, car-free festival in celebration of the city’s 750th anniversary, with Festival Op de Ring. With 25 program elements spread across three zones along the highway, the event promises a vibrant mix of music, art, activities, and local entrepreneurs – all coming together on the longest day of the year.
Among the most spectacular highlights is Audio Obscura’s Highway Rave, where the Dutch event collective, known for pushing the boundaries of raving into unconventional spaces, will host the largest stage of the day. From the tunnel beneath the Rijksmuseum to the passage under Amsterdam Central Station and even the G-Star headquarters during ADE in 2022, Audio Obscura has built a reputation for transforming unexpected locations into unforgettable dance floors.
The full line-up is still under wraps but will be revealed in the coming weeks. However, looking at past Audio Obscura events, names like Benwal, Chris Stussy, Lucky Done Gone, Joris Voorn, and Moody Mehran have all graced the decks, so it’s safe to expect a carefully curated roster of talented DJs for the Highway Rave.
The attendance to the Highway Rave is free for those who pre-register, with tickets becoming available on Wednesday, May 21st at 10:00 CEST. More information can be found on Audio Obscuras website, or by clicking here.
Audio Obscuras upcoming takeover of the A10 will undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a unique celebration of history, community and how music has the power to bring people together in the most unexpected places. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, a seasoned raver or just curious, this is not the event to miss.
