Awakenings EXO Is Coming to Colombia

Awakenings is continuing its international expansion with a new destination for its EXO concept. The Dutch techno institution will bring Awakenings EXO to Bogotá, Colombia on December 4th 2026, marking the latest move beyond its European home.

Set to take place at Coliseo MedPlus, Awakenings EXO Colombia is scheduled to run non-stop from 5PM until 5AM. The event’s lineup and ticket information have yet to be announced, leaving much to be revealed.

The EXO Journey: From New York to Bogotá

For over two decades, Awakenings has established itself as one of the most recognizable names in techno with a string of launches beyond its flagship festival in the Netherlands. In 2025, the concept made headlines with its expansion into the United States and an event at The Brooklyn Mirage. Instead of recreating Awakenings exactly as it exists in the Netherlands, the format flexed its ability to adapt to any venue and host city.

The upcoming Bogotá edition continues this approach. Colombia provides an entirely new setting in which Awakenings can suffice the global appetite for electronic music.

Meanwhile, Awakenings’ upcoming calendar focuses in on ADE – Amsterdam Dance Event – scheduled for October 21-25 at SugarFactory. Awakenings first relocated to the venue for ADE 2025, and individual events this year will be built around artists and concepts, including Drumcode, Joris Voorn, Adriatique and Prophecy. Full event information and tickets are available here.

A Big Year for Colombia’s EDM Scene

This announcement comes off the heels of Baum Festival – a Bogotá festival in its 11th edition that reportedly drew over 50,000 attendees. The bill included Nina Kraviz, Elderbrook, Mall Grab and Joseph Capriati, with Disclosure and Underworld claiming Baum’s headlining slots.

Awakenings EXO’s arrival feels like a natural next step for the brand and Colombia’s existing EDM infrastructure.
