Awakenings is one of the biggest techno festivals in the world, and for three days in July it takes over Beekse Bergen near Tilburg with enormous stages, heavy sound systems and a crowd that is there for the music. The line-up follows later, but expect the big names of techno alongside harder and more underground sounds. There is plenty of camping, including a new low stimulus area for people who want a quieter place to recover.
