Nooduitgang | DAY RAVE

Nooduitgang | DAY RAVE

Three areas, more techno than ever, and a name that translates to ‘emergency exit’?! Nooduitgang celebrates its sixth birthday in style in Haarlem on Saturday, 16 March, with hard techno’s finest. Count on APØTHIC, Cynthia Spiering, Dissolver, Grace Dahl, and many more to get things steamy in Patronaat and the newly reopened hotspot Club3.

Give Soul Indoor 2024

Give Soul Indoor 2024

If hard techno is too hard for you, head to Rotterdam this weekend. Give Soul is groovy, bouncy, and playful all in one. CinCity, Hitty, Philou Louzolo, Unruly Phoenix, and many other top-notch selectors kick off Maassilo’s festival season in style. Genres bend, blend, and go from house to disco, but the main focus is always to warm your soul with the catchiest tunes. 

Duikboot Lente Festival 2024

sob., 23 mar, 14:00 • Breepark, NL

Duikboot Lente Festival 2024

Dive into spring with Duikboot in Breda, where Breepark is the backdrop for a full-on outdoor festival in March! One of the DJs to definitely catch is Kolter, who always brings the grooviest, proper house tunes with him. Besides the German DJ, Benny Rodrigues, De Sluwe Vos, and Joëlla Jackson bring their A-game to warm and gooey house tracks next to many of the familiar faces in the hard techno scene. We always leave festivals with new friends, but Duikboot takes it a step further with a speed dating stage! If that isn’t a good enough reason to go… 

Masters of Hardcore 2024 - Time Heist

sob., 30 mar, 14:00 • Brabanthallen, NL

Masters of Hardcore 2024 - Time Heist

Legendary and iconic, the feast of the OGs: Masters of Hardcore is described as many things, but it is beyond doubt best experienced in person. The ‘Time Heist’ edition in the enormous Brabanthallen sees all old-school hardcore DJs and most talented kids on the block blast their music on March 30. To name a few: Angerfist (live), Anime (live), Bulletproof, Major Conspiracy, Miss K8 (live), and many more fill the bill. See what we mean? 

AWAKENINGS | Easter 2024

29–30 mar • Gashouder Westergasfabriek, NL

AWAKENINGS | Easter 2024

Another Dutch classic is Awakenings, officially opening its festival season with its Easter weekend edition each year. This year, names like 8Kays, Camelphat, Kevin de Vries, and Miss Monique soundtrack the Friday night, while Amber Broos, DJ Rush, Joseph Capriati, Juliet Fox, and more play on Awakenings’ Saturday. The iconic Gashouder Westergasfabriek is once again where you need to be if you love a good day rave.

Move quickly, one of their three shows is already sold-out!

Woodstock Opening 2024

pt., 29 mar, 17:00 • Woodstock 69, NL

Woodstock Opening 2024 

As per tradition, Woodstock Bloemendaal’s residents and head honcho, Steef, open the beach festival season at Bloemendaal in style. The first edition of the 31st (!) season is wholly sold out, and tickets are highly sought after, which further underlines how special these dance events are on the Dutch coast. The lineup remains a secret for now, but if there’s anything Woodstock stands for, it’s good vibes management overall. 

DGTL Amsterdam 2024

29–31 mar • NDSM, NL

DGTL Amsterdam 2024

Just like the Awakenings Easter Festival, the start of DGTL Festival means that the season of dancing outdoors and happier times is finally upon us. Take the free ferry up North to the NDSM wharf, where DGTL is home for three big, big days. The lineup is almost too extensive to dive into. Still, highlights include Avalon Emerson, Blawan & Freddy K, Elias Mazian & Isabella, HAAi, Lola Edo, Paramida, Twiena, Yazzus, and uncountable many more larger-than-life DJs.

Paaspop 2024

29 mar–1 kwi • De Molenheide, NL

Paaspop 2024 

Paaspop is different from any other festival in The Netherlands and certainly doesn’t stop at just pop music. Count on many ‘party’ areas that show why Brabant is the best at blasting confetti and fireworks, or head over to the hip-hop, hard techno, hard rock, and even comedy stages if you’re looking for something meatier. Names to look out for in the program are Chase & Status (live), De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Editors, Malugi, Nusantara Beat, and the mother of all bop-makers: Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
