Twestival Home

Our entertainment line-up for the Amsterdam Twestival is growing by the hour! We have dance performances, video displays, laser shows, poetry and much, much, more.

In addition to the DJ and artist line-up announced earlier today, we are now able to reveal the latest additions, all volunteering their time and talent to make Amsterdam Twestival a success:

In addition to UK’s Benji Boko, we have legendary UK DJ Graeme Park, with a career spanning over 20 years, 8 of them spent in residence at the Hacienda, Manchester during its glory days; Graeme has rightfully earned the reputation as the pioneer of house music and continues to be at the forefront of the dance scene today.

Female vocalist and flutist Farah Day, with a background in jazz-, classical- and world music has continuously mesmerized her audiences with her personal style, a mix of jazz-dance, funky-house, jazzy lounge and soulful-trance.

Active in the international DJ scene, Dutch DJ Lady Ace has played with the likes of Tiesto, Terry Toner and Ben Cullum to name just a few! Renowned for her variety of music styles: dance sounds, funky grooves and jazzy lounge, she’s played the Netherland’s festival scene including Wooferland and Awakenings and entertained audiences in Brazil, Bangkok and Hong Kong.

Born in Israel, Oded Nir’s music stems from the early 90’s. After years of studio and stage performance as a bass player Oded moved exclusively into producing and composing music. He is no stranger to the International music scene, performing at the Cannes Midem festival and closer to home, recently at the Amsterdam Dance Event.

As you know Amsterdam Twestival is about bringing the twitter community together, to not only raise funds for good causes but network with like-minded people and experience homegrown media, technology and music talent in one evening that’s sure to be, one hell of a party!

We are pleased to see the return of Ancilla Tilla (Wakker Dier’s Ambassador and FHM columnist) as our MC for the evening whilst we welcome a new technology sponsor to Amsterdam Twestival; Sonos who will operate a Multi-Room Music System which besides doing funky techi stuff, will live stream online and on radio from the Odeon’s basement lounge.

In addition, we are fortunate to have a number of Dutch and International DJs and artists providing music for all tastes, whom have all volunteered time out from their busy agendas to get behind the Tweet-Meet-Give message. Many of the acts will be performing sets throughout the night exclusively for Amsterdam Twestival party-goers. Don’t miss out, buy your ticket online to experience this exciting charity evening at the Odeon:
