“After more than a year of no Awakenings events, we are excited to be back with a new ADE event which will be our biggest indoor production ever. The fact that we can do this together with Reinier Zonneveld, a great home-grown techno artist, is great,” says Awakenings Marketing Manager, Tim Middelesch.

“In order to get the real Awakenings feeling in the Ziggo Dome, as fans are used to, we will renovate the entire Ziggo Dome. We will move the entrances and put up the widest and highest stage that has ever been.”
