Huge news in the electronic music industry has just arisen as Dutch music event promoter ID&T, (part of live entertainment platform Superstruct Entertainment) has signed a partnership agreement with Apenkooi Group. The strategic partnership will help Apenkooi accelerate its growth trajectory.
“We are very happy and proud to welcome so many talented and passionate people to our family. Not only does Apenkooi have an amazing portfolio with brands such as DGTL, STRAF_WERK and Pleinvrees, we also have been partners already in several festivals such as Amsterdam Open Air, Valhalla and By the Creek for many years.
