WORLD’S BIGGEST HARD TECHNO RAVE
Our very first edition of Verknipt ArenA in 2024 was beyond our expectations! It was insane to see 40.000 unite for the love of hard techno. Together we wrote history, hosting the World’s biggest hard techno rave! But there is no stopping it now.. Next year, we’ll just do it all over again!
At Verknipt, we thrive in chaotic harmony, embracing distortion and defying the norm. We dive into sounds that push the boundaries of the underground, where we are both slaves to the rave and heralds of the future.
Verknipt Records releases a special album dedicated to world’s biggest hard techno rave on the 20th of July in the Johan Cruijff Arena.
The Verknipt ArenA album showcases both established names and rising stars, seamlessly blending their talents to create a classic hard techno album. This initiative by Verknipt aims to integrate these artists into the album and events, catering to the vibrant community of Hard Techno enthusiasts.
Special Features:
• The release of DIØN’s track “Traffic” has been selected as the Official Verknipt ArenA Anthem.
• Fantasm, who will perform a special closing set at the event, has also contributed with his track “Masterclass” to the album.
• A special Vinyl edition of the album will also be released, pre-order is now possible in our own merchandise shop here! and at Bol.com
The Johan Cruijff ArenA, previously called Amsterdam ArenA, was built between 1993 and 1996. The Johan Cruijff ArenA is originally a football stadium, but can also be made into an event venue. With strict rules around the grass, only a few events per year can be given at this venue, and Verknipt has been given the honour of this on 20 July 2024! The Amsterdam ArenA was the first football stadium in Europe with a retractable roof. It takes about 20 minutes to open or close the roof.
