Awakenings New Years
30 Dec 2025 - 1 Jan 2026
Awakenings New Year’s 2025 will light up Amsterdam’s SugarFactory with three explosive events across 30 December to 1 January, uniting the global techno community for an unforgettable year-end celebration. Set against the industrial backdrop of Awakenings’ new home, the festival promises an unparalleled blend of sonic precision, visual brilliance, and euphoric energy — a fitting finale to a year defined by rhythm and innovation.
The first chapter begins on December 30 (By Day), where the dancefloor ignites with performances from Joseph Capriati, East End Dubs, Gordo, Joëlla Jackson, and Jamback. Expect a masterful fusion of deep, driving grooves and sunlit techno energy — the perfect prelude to what lies ahead.
As the clock ticks toward midnight, December 31 (By Night) delivers the festival’s most electrifying lineup yet. Icons like Joris Voorn, Pan-Pot, Speedy J, Grace Dahl, and Megan Leber will take command, crafting an immersive sonic journey that captures the spirit of Awakenings: bold, intense, and endlessly hypnotic. The night promises a crescendo of bass, light, and emotion as thousands welcome 2026 beneath the glow of SugarFactory’s pulsating visuals.
The celebration continues into the new year with January 1 (By Day), a rejuvenating fusion of forward-thinking sounds featuring DJ Gigola, Eva Vrijdag, LB aka Labat, Lucky Done Gone, Saidah, Lammer, and Malugi. This final act offers a vibrant closing chapter — warm, playful, and alive with the sounds of tomorrow’s techno scene.
With its state-of-the-art production, world-class artists, and legendary crowd, Awakenings New Year’s 2025 will once again prove why it stands at the forefront of global electronic music culture. Over three days and nights, the SugarFactory will become a cathedral of sound — where the faithful gather, the lights pulse in sync with every beat, and the new year begins in perfect rhythm.
