Superstruct Dissolves Subsidiary in Charge of Dutch Mega Festival DGTL

DGTL will continue through different Superstruct business channels, but other festivals will be disbanded

Superstruct Entertainment, the UK-based global event promoter, has nixed the Netherlands’ Apenkooi Events. This company oversaw dance music festival brands such as DGTL, STRAF\_WERK, Pleinvrees, Amsterdam Open Air, and The Gardens of Babylon.

What’s next:

  • DGTL and The Gardens of Babylon will still be held.

  • DGTL will become part of Awakenings, another major dance promoter centered in Europe.

  • The Gardens of Babylon will operate through the overall Superstruct organization.

  • The remaining Apenkooi events will be shuttered.

What they said:

  • Superstruct via IQ Magazine: “A decision has been made to discontinue Apenkooi Events as part of a portfolio optimisation process. The brands DGTL and Gardens of Babylon will continue to operate. Going forward, DGTL will operate under the Awakenings umbrella, with a focus on efficiency and alignment across production, management, bookings, and marketing. Gardens of Babylon will continue as a brand within the wider organisation. We regularly review our portfolio to determine where to focus our resources and investments. This is a normal and continuous part of doing business.”
