Audio Obscura Announces Highway Rave on Amsterdam’s A10

Audio Obscura is set to deliver one of the most daring and unforgettable events in electronic music history. On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the pioneering Amsterdam-based collective will take over a section of the A10 highway for a one-day-only celebration dubbed the Highway Rave, marking a highlight in the city’s official 750th anniversary festivities.

As part of Festival op de Ring, a massive 17 km-long cultural takeover that will close the A10 to traffic for a single day, Audio Obscura will host a free, ticketed event on the A10 near RAI Metro Station, transforming the urban freeway into a dancefloor beneath the open sky. Known for staging landmark events at venues like Concertgebouw, Amsterdam Central Station, and the Rijksmuseum bicycle passage, Audio Obscura is now taking its boundary-pushing ethos to the streets — literally.

This nine-hour rave promises explosive back-to-back sets from a hand-picked selection of electronic music’s most respected artists. While the lineup remains under wraps, the promise is clear: this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for dance music lovers.

CUPRA and Culture Collide

The Highway Rave is made possible thanks to a partnership with CUPRA, the dynamic automotive brand actively backing global music culture through its CUPRA Music initiative. With additional support from other cultural partners, the event remains entirely free — though attendees must reserve tickets in advance.

Limited Merch for a Historic Moment

To commemorate the occasion, Audio Obscura has joined forces with Applied Art Forms, a high-concept Amsterdam fashion label founded by Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman, to produce a limited-edition €75 t-shirt. Proceeds from the unique, numbered series will directly fund the event, blending fashion, music, and civic pride into one collectible statement.

Join the Celebration

As part of the wider Festival op de Ring, Audio Obscura proudly represents the underground electronic music scene, holding a premium location on the A10 Zuid (entrance S109) for this definitive, once-in-a-lifetime cultural moment.
