Hard techno heavyweight Verknipt is preparing to light up Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff ArenA like never before. On July 19, 2025, the crew will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest laser show ever staged, setting up a jaw-dropping 1,000 lasers across the 40,000-capacity stadium.

For context, last year’s debut Verknipt ArenA event featured just 50 lasers. That was already enough to leave the crowd stunned. This year, they’re taking it far beyond. The current world record stands at 824 lasers, set in Dubai, and Verknipt plans to leave that number in the dust.

Organizers confirmed the laser display is scheduled for 11:50 P.M. sharp, marking a highlight of the night’s all-out production. They said in a statement;

The idea of programming 1,000 lasers still blows our minds — especially when last year’s 50 already felt unreal. We’ve been working on this for months and want to give people something they’ll talk about for years.

Full Throttle Lineup For a 360° Stage

Beyond the lasers, the event’s lineup reads like a who’s who of hard techno. Expect pounding sets from:

  • Nico Moreno, known for his relentless energy.
  • Winson, XRTN, and Karah, all known for their heavy and hypnotic style.
  • Powerful back-to-back (b2b) performances, including:
    • Basswell b2b Onlynumbers,
    • CARV b2b Holy Priest,
    • Paul Elstak b2b Cynthia Spiering.

Each name adds a different flavor to the soundscape, building up to what promises to be one of the most intense techno nights of the year.

Beyond The Stage: Verknipt Launches Pulse Platform

Last month, Verknipt introduced Pulse, a new platform aimed at highlighting emerging talent and modern trends in hard techno. Pulse events focus on fresh names, giving lesser-known artists a bigger stage. The next Pulse party is already on the calendar for September 7, 2025, promising more forward-looking programming in the months ahead.
