Marlon Hoffstadt and Audio Obscura set to host exclusive Landmark show at Unesco world heritage site in 2025

Audio Obscura, the electronic event collective known for pairing cutting-edge music with unusual and off-limits spaces, announces it is teaming up with the iconic Marlon Hoffstadt for Kingsnight 2025. Together, they're putting on an exclusive set against the backdrop of UNESCO World Heritage site, the Van Nelle Fabriek, in Rotterdam

Marlon will return to The Netherlands on April 25, 2025, for his first performance on Dutch soil since his sold-out shows at Amsterdam Dance Event. By partnering with Audio Obscura, the event will naturally take place at a distinctive venue and attract an engaged crowd that has helped shape the soundscape of this generation, with Marlon at the forefront of it. This performance marks a significant moment in Marlon’s continued connection with his Dutch audience. Pre-sale starts on Thursday, December 12, at 12:00 CET. Audio Obscura members have early access 24 hours before the presale, information can be found below.

With his unmatched ability to blend raw emotion and euphoric energy, Marlon Hoffstadt is set to turn the Van Nelle Fabriek into the ultimate Kingsnight destination. As a visionary DJ, producer, and founder of the label Club Heartbroken, Hoffstadt has revolutionized the scene with his groundbreaking Daddycation party series, unforgettable Boiler Room performances, and an instantly sold-out solo debut at ADE 2024. Performing at this iconic UNESCO World Heritage site, Hoffstadt promises to elevate the night into a truly transformative experience, making this celebration one of the most talked-about events of the year.

“At Audio Obscura, we’re all about pushing boundaries and crafting one-of-a-kind experiences that stand out and feel truly unique,” Audio Obscura said in a statement. “Working with Marlon Hoffstadt on this Kingsnight show is a perfect fit — his raw energy, love and passion for electronic music’s culture and ability to connect with a crowd is exactly what we look for in an artist. When you bring that together with a space with the striking, industrial beauty of Van Nelle Fabriek, it becomes an experience unlike anything else.”

After making waves with their groundbreaking sold out festival debut at Van Nelle Fabriek last year, which was the first ever of its kind at the venue, Audio Obscura is returning to this monumental location once again to merge architectural and cultural heritage with electronic music. With its industrial charm and creative energy, the venue has become a beacon for innovative events from visionary brands like Audio Obscura. This show is yet another addition to Audio Obscura's legacy of transforming iconic and unconventional locations into unforgettable event spaces.
