Audio Obscura PRAISE Honey Dijon ADE 2025

Audio Obscura makes history at ADE 2025 with the premiere of PRAISE, uniting Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir inside De Nieuwe Kerk.

On Friday October 24th, during Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 and in honour of Amsterdam 750, Audio Obscura takes a new step in its tradition of groundbreaking shows, presenting the world premiere of PRAISE – Honey Dijon x ZO! Gospel Choir at De Nieuwe Kerk.
Pre-registration for tickets to this unique event is now open via Audio Obscura’s official pre-registration page: audio-obscura.com.
The event marks the first time in its more than 600-year history that the historic national monument will be transformed into a venue for electronic music, with Audio Obscura the only organisation trusted to undertake the task. With previous events like the now-legendary Highway Rave and its party in the bicycle tunnel under the famed Rijksmuseum, Audio Obscura has already demonstrated how electronic music can take on a new dimension in unexpected places. The choice of De Nieuew Kerk fits seamlessly into this tradition and marks another milestone in Amsterdam’s cultural tradition.
The unique location provides the perfect setting to host the world premiere of a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between internationally acclaimed DJ Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir, one of the Netherlands’ leading vocal ensembles. The choir is known for its energetic renditions of soul, R&B and gospel, and has previously collaborated with artists such as Diana Ross, Kamasi Washington and Gregory Porter.
Honey Dijon is considered one of the most influential voices in electronic music worldwide. Born and raised in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, she became an icon thanks to her inimitable blend of house, techno, and disco. Besides her status as a beloved DJ and producer, she is known for her outspoken engagement with fashion, art, and activism. She has performed at the world’s biggest clubs and festivals, and continues to champion diversity and inclusivity within the music scene.
The evening opens with DJ Juliana X, who blends her Brazilian background and Rotterdam roots into an energetic mix of Chicago house, Detroit techno, and unexpected influences such as eurodance and acid. She is followed by Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir, who take the audience on a captivating journey of music, choreography, and dance. Expect an hour of pure energy where gospel and electronic music amplify one another, culminating in a collective experience like no other.
The Nieuwe Kerk as the backdrop: a historic monument in the heart of Amsterdam, the Nieuwe Kerk has played a central role in the city for over six centuries. Consecrated in 1409, this national monument is known as the place where kings and queens are inaugurated and where national mourning and wedding ceremonies take place. It also serves as a cultural venue for leading exhibitions and concerts. Never before has electronic music been performed there, making this performance by Honey Dijon and the ZO! Gospel Choir not only a first for ADE but also a new chapter in the rich history of De Nieuwe Kerk.

Tiësto Returns to London For Silverworks Island Open-Air Show

Tiësto has officially announced his return to London on Sunday, July 12, 2026, for his first major headline performance in the capital in eight years.

Eight years since his last major headline performance in the capital, Tiësto returns to London for a landmark open-air show at Silverworks Island on Sunday 12th July, revisiting the sound that first established him as a global force.

For a generation of fans, those early records defined arenas, soundtracked sunrises, and helped shape the emotional core of modern electronic music. For Tiësto, it’s where the story began, long before Vegas residencies, Olympic ceremonies, and global chart dominance. This summer at Silverworks Island, he comes full circle.

Renowned as one of electronic music’s most influential and inventive figures, Tiësto has spent three decades evolving alongside the culture he helped propel. His impact extends far beyond clubland: over 40 million albums sold, eight Billboard Hot 100 hits, more than 30 billion streams, and a GRAMMY® Award. Few artists have shaped dance music on such a scale.

His Silverworks Island performance offers a rare opportunity to experience a deeper cut of his catalogue in a large-scale outdoor setting. For long-time fans, it’s a powerful full-circle moment. For newer audiences, it reveals another dimension of an artist whose evolution continues to shape dance music culture.

Set against the industrial backdrop of London’s Docklands, Silverworks Island provides the perfect open-air setting for a night that bridges past and present.

 

Tickets for TIËSTO at Silverworks Island will go on sale exclusively to pre-sale sign-ups at 11am on Thursday 12th March.
