Audio Obscura-Joseph Capriati
Joseph Capriati

A leading player in the electronic music world, Audio Obscura is renowned for stretching limits by presenting cutting-edge music in far-off, magnificent, and often inaccessible settings. Once-in-a- lifetime events that highlight the uniting power of music will result. Based in Amsterdam, Audio Obscura has helped to shape the city’s cultural heritage through events at famous places like the Concertgebouw, Central Station, De Loft (ADAM Tower), the bicycle path beneath the Rijksmuseum, and most recently, the city’s Ring motorway (A10), providing the Highway Rave for Amsterdams official 750th anniversary party. 

Riding high on the buzz surrounding their highly awaited Highway Rave, a one-off celebration of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary on the city’s ring-road, Audio Obscura is happy to debut its 2025 Amsterdam Dance Event programme. Audio Obscura returns to the legendary RAWFACTORY, at G-Stars Amsterdam offices, from October 23-25 for three spectacular concerts with some of the most renowned names in electronic music.

To celebrate this moment in true Audio Obscura style, a visually striking recap video capturing the Highway Rave, as the city’s Ring (A10) motorway transformed into a euphoric open-air dancefloor, is available to watch here. The footage captures the scale, energy and ambition of an event that had the entire city talking.

October 23 – in collaboration with Hangar

ADE 2025 kicks off by joining forces with Belgian tastemakers Hangar, known for their boundary-pushing programming and striking visual identity. Expect a bold cross-border collision of atmospheres with high energy inside the RAWFACTORY.

October 24 – in collaboration with Joseph Capriati and Metamorfosi

On Friday, Audio Obscura welcomes Metamorfosi — a project rooted in transcendence and evolution. Their ADE day & night debut at RAWFACTORY will blur the line between immersive experience and club ritual, layered in shadow and sound.

October 25 – in collaboration with Innervisions

Following last year’s sold-out ADE show, Audio Obscura reunites with the iconic Innervisions for a highly anticipated return to RAWFACTORY. With a proven chemistry and overwhelming demand in 2024, this event promises to be one of the standout moments of the entire week.

With wide-reaching media attention and city-wide energy ahead of us, this announcement marks just the beginning of what is to come from Audio Obscura over ADE 2025. Full artist line-ups to follow later.
