Please, take us back there! 

Last weekend, on May 18 and 19, Awakenings introduced a new festival, Upclose. Unlike previous Awakenings events, Upclose was designed to be more intimate, creating the perfect rave conditions for dancing all weekend long.

What a weekend it was! We were energized by the incredible weather and the exhilarating music that kept us dancing non-stop. The lineup was so amazing it made us wish we could be in multiple places at once to catch all the performances. We experienced a variety of stages with artists like Marlon Hoffstadt, Carista, Yanamaste, Fjaak, and Riccardo Villalobos on the first day, and Vera Grace, Justine Perry, Marrøn & Rene Wise, Freddy K & The Lady Machine, 99999999, and of course, Nina Kraviz on the second day. The only challenge was trying to catch all these incredible acts!

This was the perfect weekend to kick off the summer festival season. We always feel grateful and privileged to dance with Awakenings, and this event was no exception.

Who’s ready to dance with us at the Awakenings Summer Festival on July 5, 6, and 7?
