Audio Obscura Festival returns to Rotterdam with a large-scale electronic music programme inside the Van Nelle Factory. The UNESCO World Heritage Site becomes a multi-area club setting, bringing together established international names, rising selectors and Dutch talent across four stages.
The Frame programme features Chris Stussy, DJ Heartstring, Folamour and Olive F, alongside DJ Gigola back-to-back with Chloé Caillet. Fabric welcomes Honey Dijon, Max Dean, Prospa and a back-to-back set from Obskür and Luuk van Dijk.
Outside, the Yard by Stëlz presents Fabio Santos, Hidde van Wee, Idemi and several back-to-back combinations. The Boilerhouse completes the festival with Jelly, Juliana X, Nala Brown, OG Karin and Surusinghe.
With house, electronic club music and fast-moving DJ sets spread across the former factory complex, the festival pairs a strong international line-up with one of Rotterdam’s most distinctive industrial locations.

Description
Van Nelle Fabriek works brilliantly as a music venue because it already feels like a stage: a huge industrial landmark of concrete, steel and glass, with long sightlines, high ceilings, and that unmistakable “Rotterdam icon” atmosphere. It’s set up for events at scale, with multiple spaces that can be configured for anything. From an intimate set to a full-on festival crowd, plus modern audio-visual facilities and the option to fully darken rooms for a proper club feel.
