The structure of Monumental Productions

Ownership

Awakenings was founded in 1997 by Monumental Productions B.V. in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Through this acquisition, Monumental Productions B.V., became part of Superstruct Entertainment. Superstruct Entertainment was previously an investment project of Providence Equity Partners, who sold its shares in Superstruct to the global investment firm KKR in June 2024. Monumental Productions B.V. retains the same team as before the acquisition by KKR and remains committed to its core values. Monumental Productions B.V. stands for high-quality techno music events that combine cutting-edge sound with immersive light and stage design. It’s a globally brand that represents the heart of the techno scene, bringing together top artists and passionate fans and is committed to creating safer dancefloors, with clear harm reduction policies, a code of conduct visitors have to accept when buying a ticket and a zero-tolerance approach to any form of harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, body shaming or other forms of discrimination. Monumental Productions B.V. continues to set ambitious sustainability targets. Despite changes in ownership, Awakenings remains dedicated to these principles.
