Saturday July 4 2020, almost 20 years after the first edition of the succesful dance event Sensation, the renewed concept Beyond Sensation by event organization ID&T should have taken place in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Like almost all events this summer, Beyond Sensation can’t happen this year so it will be moved to July 3rd 2021. However, ID&T wouldn’t be ID&T if no creative alternative were devised to provide the fans with an unforgettable experience anyway. The ‘Monument of Light’ show will illuminate the Johan Cruijff ArenA and will be captured in a breathtaking livestream that can be viewed from all over the world.
“With this show, we pay tribute to everyone who has kept their spirits up during the lockdown and, above all, to encourage them to celebrate life in full glory again soon. After darkness, comes light. With this fact in mind, ‘Monument of Light’ was born. The show is a creative translation of Sensation, where artistic experience and entertainment have been at the forefront for decades”, says organizer Eric Keijer.
The show starts at 11PM CEST and can be viewed from all over the world via www.sensation.com. The spectacle flows seamlessly into a special 2-hour set by Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, which fits perfectly with Sensation’s story line.
Sensation was established in 2000 by ID&T founder Duncan Stutterheim. The first edition of Sensation White took place in 2001, in which everyone came to party dressed in white. After that, Sensation Amsterdam sold out every year with more than 40.000 visitors. The unique shows and collaborations with world famous artists such as Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Swedish House Mafia made the event a major international success. Sensation celebrated successes in dozens of countries across five continents and was therefore entitled “The World’s Leading Dance Event”.
ID&T was established in 1992 and organises around 80 events a year. Part of the ID&T group are companies including b2s, ID&T Events, Q-Dance, Monumental (Awakenings), Air Events, Art of Dance and VD Events and events such as Mysteryland, Amsterdam Open Air, Milkshake, Vunzige Deuntjes, Thunderdome, Defqon.1 Weekend Festival, Awakenings, Decibel Outdoor, and Masters of Hardcore. ID&T reaches roughly 1.5 million visitors a year with her events. Part of the ID&T group are also Platinum Agency and Most Wanted DJ-Agency, the two biggest hard dance agencies in the world, and management company Headliner Entertainment.
