After seeing a couple of Grateful Dead concerts in the US roughly 25 years ago, Rocco Veenboer, has been incorporating light displays with events he puts on in Amsterdam and across Europe. Now, after having enormous success with events in his native lands, he’s ready to throw one of his famed parties on US soil. Just recently Rocco was happy to announce that AWAKENINGS NYC is officially in production!
“That trip really opened up my eyes, seeing how bands like the Dead were using lights and production to amplify the musical experience. It sounds so obvious now, but at the time it was unbelievable. This pairing of amazing artists with incredible production formed the backbone of AWAKENINGS, and it still does today.” Explained Veenboer.
AWAKENINGS NYC is set to go down this Valentine’s Day, February 14th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. Keeping in mind that parties of this nature in the UK typically go until sunrise and beyond, AWAKENINGS NYC will be pumping from 10PM until 6AM.
The AWAKENINGS NYC lineup brings nothing but the best in international techno and more. Long-time beat enthusiast Adam Beyer will lead the AWAKENINGS NYC 2016 lineup with a highly sought-after B2B session is his beat partner Ida Enberg. Artists alongside them include Julia Govor B2B Kamran Sadeghi, Pan Pot and more!
Due to the international following surrounding this event, tickets may sell out fast, so don’t delay. AWAKENINGS NYC tickets will go on sale in time for holiday shopping and a PRE-SALE BEGINS DECEMBER 8th (you must register first).
