Get ready for a truly unforgettable experience! On Saturday, June 21, 2025, Audio Obscura will take over a stretch of Amsterdam’s famous A10 highway for the Highway Rave — a one-of-a-kind event to celebrate the city’s 750th anniversary. As part of the larger Festival op de Ring, this is going to be the most unique party Amsterdam has ever seen.
The rave will take place on the A10 by RAI Metro Station, transforming the iconic highway into a massive dance floor. With a backdrop of raw concrete and the energy of tens of thousands of ravers, this is an event unlike anything Amsterdam has seen before.
A Rave for Amsterdam’s 750th
For years, Audio Obscura has been a pioneer in Amsterdam’s legendary electronic music scene, known for hosting unforgettable shows in iconic locations like the Concertgebouw, Rijksmuseum, and Amsterdam Central Station. Now, they’re bringing that same innovation to the A10 for a historic, one-day-only celebration of the city’s cultural legacy.
The Highway Rave will feature a stacked lineup of artists, playing back-to-back sets for 9 hours straight. Expect high-energy beats and an atmosphere that can only come from a truly unique location like the A10. This is the type of event that will be talked about for years to come, a moment in time that only happens once.
CUPRA Joins the Ride
The main partner for the Highway Rave is CUPRA, the car brand known for its support of music culture through their CUPRA Music initiative. CUPRA is all about pushing the boundaries of creativity, and their partnership with Audio Obscura is a perfect fit for this bold, larger-than-life event. Thanks to CUPRA and other generous partners, this free, ticketed event is made possible, so everyone can join in the celebration of Amsterdam’s history.
Limited-Edition Merch for a Cause
In addition to the rave, Audio Obscura has teamed up with Applied Art Forms, a fashion label founded by Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman, to create a limited-edition t-shirt. Only a few will be available, and all the proceeds from the €75 shirts will go directly toward supporting the event. It’s a chance to own a piece of the Highway Rave and help make this historic moment happen.
