High Tea & Melkweg present: HIGH TEA Amsterdam Indoor Festeaval 2026. On Saturday 28 March, Melkweg once again transforms into the backdrop for this one-of-a-kind indoor Drum & Bass experience. After a successful first edition, the Festeaval returns — bigger, bolder and more versatile than ever.

This second edition marks 10 years of High Tea and will be celebrated with a daytime rave from 15:00 to 23:00. Expect a fully-fledged indoor festival across six areas, featuring DJ sets, live acts, cinema, exhibitions, games and interactive surprises.

HIGH TEA Amsterdam Indoor Festeaval is more than just a party: it’s a tribute to a decade of Going Hard & Being Home. A place where community, energy and imagination collide — right in the heart of the city, right inside Melkweg.

Film

  • Cinema Programme

    • This documentary follows Iranian DJs Anoosh and Arash as they organise illegal raves and produce electronic music in Tehran while constantly risking arrest. As the pressure from authorities grows, they search for a way to escape Iran through an opportunity to perform abroad.

    • This film explores three decades of rave culture in Rotterdam, a city that became globally known in the 1990s for gabber and hardcore. Through stories from people within the scene, the documentary shows how the city and its rave community evolved while the spirit of the dancefloor remained the same.

    • Using unseen archival footage, this short film revisits the UK’s rave and club culture of the late 1980s and 1990s. It captures how dancefloors became spaces of freedom, diversity and community during a time of social and political tension.

    • This documentary dives into the birth of the rave movement in late-1980s England, where young people gathered at illegal parties in warehouses and open fields. Through archive footage and interviews with key figures, it shows how this underground movement grew into a global cultural phenomenon.

    • At Melkweg Expo, you'll dive into the world of SK8GIRLS. Skateboard culture is globally associated with freedom, creativity, and bold self-expression, values that have also defined Drum & Bass as a genre. Yet both the skate world as well as Drum & Bass remain largely male-dominated. For female and queer skaters, DJ’s and producers, this often results in limited visibility, restricted access to space, and a persistent sense of exclusion. By combining visual storytelling, interviews and creative works, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on gender inclusion, equality, and power dynamics.

    • Want a break from raving? In the Side Quest area you can participate in several activities and games. From speed dating to make new friends or rivalling your old ones during a game of DnB hitter or DnBingo, this is the place to be! Wanna join? check out the time table, go to the Side Quest area and say “Hi” to our hosts. 

    • Walk into the cinema all day, yes it is free! We curated a special programme to give you more insights in the international rave culture with stories from the UK all the way to Iran.

    • At the side quest area you can find a hotdog stand to recharge your energy. For bigger eaters, you are allowed to leave and re-enter Melkweg for a meal nearby in the city. Mind you, once you leave and re-enter Melkweg, you’ll have to go through security checks again. Food and drinks from outside are not allowed inside. This means it might take you longer to get back inside when you take a break from the event. We understand if this a little bit inconvenient for some of you, but due to renovations of the Melkweg kitchen, this is the best and easiest solution for everyone.

    • Doors open at 15:00 and stay open all day. Keep your ID card and ticket ready while you’re waiting in line. Try not to bring any bags, this will make the security check go way smoother, so everyone will be inside faster! The entry line can be long, so make sure to arrive on time to not miss your favourite artist. Going outside and re-entering the Melkweg is possible. 

    • We want everyone to have a good time and feel at home at our events. Feeling unsafe? Do not hesitate and head to the bar or security straight away and tell them you need help. The employees of the Melkweg will assist in any way possible.
