Awakenings Announce 20th Anniversary Line Ups – 1 Day – 4 Nights
In 2017 Awakenings will celebrate its 20th anniversary. On Saturday April 15 between 11 AM and 10 PM, as part of the upcoming indoor edition from April 13 thru 16, for the first time a day program will be organized at the Gashouder on the Westergasfabriek terrain. Moreover, Monumental Productions together with publisher Mary Go Wild will publish an anniversary book for this occasion.
Awakenings is the largest and best-known techno festival in the world. In April the threshold of 200 organized parties will be broken, representing over 2000 hours of partying. Moreover, a total number of 1.5 million visitors will have been welcomed.
On Saturday April 15 distinguished techno DJs will perform at the very first indoor day program ever. Joris Voorn, Ben Klock, Adam Beyer, Jeff Mills and Chris Liebing will take place behind the turntables. The day program doesn’t stand alone but is part of the Awakenings 20 Year Anniversary that will take place from Thursday April 13 thru Sunday April 16.
During the anniversary edition the book AWAKENINGS: 20 Years of Techno will see the light. It will be a so-called coffee table book containing the story of Awakenings from its early inception to the state of affairs now, illustrated by some fifty interviews with the greatest DJs in the world. Publisher Mary Go Wild (which earlier also published a book by the same name about 25 years of dance in the Netherlands and in 2016 launched a book about DJ Dano) has so far found among others Maceo Plex, Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Joris Voorn, Joseph Capriati, Nicole Moudaber, Adam Beyer, Secret Cinema, Pan Pot, Len Faki, Ben Klock and Alan Fitzpatrick available for the interviews. The book will number over 500 pages, be 5 cm thick and weigh about 3 kilos.
