On July 19, Verknipt returns to the Johan Cruijff ArenA for the second edition of Verknipt ArenA. But this isn’t just another massive hard techno rave; it’s history in the making. Verknipt ArenA is officially aiming to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest laser show, unleashing over 1,000 lasers across the stadium – more than twenty times the number used in a typical production and far surpassing the current record of 824 set in Dubai. Last year’s show, featuring 50 lasers, was already impressive – but what’s coming now is simply mind-blowing. 

What makes this night truly special is the scale and ambition behind the spectacle: at exactly 23:50, during a specially timed moment, the entire stadium will erupt in a sea of 1.000 synchronized laser beams, creating a once-in-a-lifetime audiovisual experience designed to etch Verknipt ArenA into the global record books. The full lineup features APHØTIC, Basswell, CARV, Cloudy, Cynthia Spiering, DYEN, Fantasm, Hardsok, Holy Priest, Karah, KLOFAMA, Nico Moreno, NOVAH, NYCO, NZGÜL, Onlynumbers, PALØ, Paul Elstak, Winson, XRTN. Tickets for the event are available through this link.

Following the explosive Verknipt ArenA debut in 2024, which brought together 40,000 ravers for a jaw-dropping 10-minute audiovisual show featuring custom-synced lights, lasers, and sound, Verknipt ArenA is raising the bar once again for 2025. This edition fuses a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title-breaking ambition with the brand’s signature hard techno energy. With a groundbreaking 360-degree stage design and an unprecedented number of lasers rigged throughout the stadium, the ArenA will be transformed into a fully immersive light and sound experience. In the acclaimed Road to ArenA documentary Verknipt explains more about the upcoming edition at the Johan Cruijff ArenA and future of Verknipt. 

“We are incredibly excited for this year’s ArenA Edition. Alongside a powerful line-up featuring both established and emerging techno talent, we’re pushing boundaries with our attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest laser show in the world. The idea of programming 1,000 lasers still blows our minds – especially when last year’s 50 already felt unreal. This has been months in the making, and we’re pulling out all the stops to deliver a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. We can’t wait to share this monumental night with over 40,000 fans – it’s going to be nothing short of historic.” – Organization Verknipt ArenA.

This year’s edition showcases a powerful lineup of global heavyweights and rising stars, once again affirming Verknipt’s exceptional curation and commitment to the full spectrum of hard dance genres. Expect sets from Nico Moreno, known for his heavy basslines and punchy kicks. The ArenA show will feature explosive back-to-backs like Cloudy b2b NOVAH, DYEN b2b Fantasm, CARV b2b Holy Priest, and Basswell b2b Onlynumbers, delivering nonstop energy. Cutting-edge performances from APHØTIC b3b NYCO b3b XRTN, Karah b2b KLOFAMA, and hardcore icon Paul Elstak b2b Cynthia Spiering round up the night. PALØ, NZGÜL, and Hardsok will take part in featuring the exclusive Verknipt ArenA 2025 Album Showcase during the event.
