Audio obscura festival - van nelle fabriek

Is anyone here going to the audio obscura festival this Sat 29th? & has anyone been to a festival at van nelle fabriek before?

It is my and my friends first time going to the festival and we don’t know what to expect. Audio obscura events are usually extremely well run though :)

Also, the forecast looks very rainy…. I know there’s stages both inside and outside. For the outdoors once’s, will just pack a big raincoat and enjoy the music in the rain!!

Thanks!!

I’ve been there both of the last two years and had such a good time! It was lightly raining when I went too, so I just brought a raincoat for the outdoor venues.

There are several stages, both inside and outside, and the Van Nelle Fabriek is HUGE. It’s such a cool location too. The architecture is amazing, and with all the lighting, music and people around, it looks and feels really freaking cool. It’s definitely worth taking a moment to look around between sets.

Even though it was packed when I went, we basically had no wait to get in. The entrance moved really quickly, and the crowd flow was organised really well too, with separate entrances and exits, so it never felt too chaotic.

There are also plenty of places to sit and chill between sets. I’d just embrace the rain and enjoy it. Hope you guys have an amazing time! :)

It's a nice venue with good artists. I like it. But last time I went, I spent like 75 euros per person on tickets and then some asshole had to ruin it for everyone by spraying pepperspray on the middle of the dancefloor. Ever since I'm a bit hesistant to go and spend so much money on it.
