History

\n\n

The concept was founded by Karim Soliman, who wanted to change the Rotterdam techno culture and with the goal of making Rotterdam internationally famous for its techno scene. It started with illegal raves in the Kralingse bos. After that, he wanted to organize a real rave, but with the same atmosphere. The first edition was hosted in 2012 in Perron, a small but popular club in Rotterdam, with about 1,000 visitors. After this edition, the raves moved to Factory 010 (now known as Now&Wow), but this was also too small for the concept that got increasingly popular. Most parties are now hosted in the Maassilo. In 2016, Rotterdam Rave hosted the Rotterdam Rave Festival for the first time, on the Lloyd Multiplein in Rotterdam. In 2019, the Rotterdam Rave Festival location moved from the Lloyd Multiplein to the RDM grounds in Rotterdam, a long-time wish of the organisation because of the raw feeling with the port, warehouses, and the overall industrial port terrain. In 2023, Rotterdam Rave hosted a rave at the new RTM Stage of Rotterdam Ahoy for the first time.\n
