About this festival
Upclose 2027 takes place on 15 and 16 May 2027 at Houtrak near Spaarnwoude and is a techno festival from Awakenings. Across two days, it presents a varied programme of international techno names in a natural open-air setting. Upclose has established itself as a more intimate alternative to the larger Awakenings Festival, focusing on exceptional sound quality and a close-to-the-artist atmosphere.
Set in the Houtrak recreation area near Amsterdam, the site offers spacious grounds for several stages and food areas. Its relaxed atmosphere combines high-quality music with the natural surroundings of the Dutch polder landscape. Tickets are available via the official Awakenings website.
