As if we didn’t have enough events that we were going to check out at ADE (seriously, there are hundreds and hundreds), we’ve been catching wind on how awesome the Dockyard Festival was. This is scheduled for Saturday night (also the same night as the Amsterdam Music Festival) on October 17th, aka: the night where we can’t make up our mind what the hell we want to do. The Dockyard Festival takes place in a sweet retired shipyard that is located across the Noordzee Canal behind Amsterdam Central Station. The NDSM is famous as a cultural hotspot for Amsterdam’s young creative talent, which made it the perfect place for the festival’s launch last year. Caught between water and land, between the brick warehouses, slipways and cranes, Dockyard Festival radiates a sturdy, yet derelict character. The distant sounds past hammering and welding of the builders are transformed into the music of the Djs and the wild cheering of the dancing crowd!
In 2015 Dockyard returns with a fury to the old shipyard in Noord, and promises to be another crazy event, not only during ADE, but the 2015 festival season. This year’s talent includes: as Paco Osuna, Paul Ritch, Monika Kruse, RPR Soundsystem, Dj Rush, Surgeon and many more on 5 areas for 12 solid hours for an insanely reasonable price ($37!).
If you are in Amsterdam this October, check it out!
More info from the press release:
Tickets are available for a friendly €33,50 online. Age restriction is 18+.
Come and join us in 2015 and become a part of Dockyard’s futuristic dystopia!
