💳Important info about ticket payments

We’ve been made aware that in some rare cases, ticket payments via SumUp were accidentally charged twice. This happened when payments were flagged as failed at the infodesk and you were asked to try again.

If this happened to you, please check your credit card statement and get in touch with us at [email protected] if you notice a duplicate charge. (Please provide screenshots).

We want to make sure that every case gets resolved and apologize deeply for the inconvenience.

Today you have the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Sir Octavian “okkie” Winthorpe-Mandelay – Enjoy a pleasant afternoon at evoke with Sir Octavian as he guides you through a world of sound and vibration one (or maybe two) vinyls at a time!

Timetable Change:
Unfortunately there will be no “Grillen mit Ronny” today 🥺 . 
There will, however be “Hitzefrei mit Darya“ who, on top of finding it very awkward to write about herself in 3rd person, promises to take care of you all by providing good vibes for good people. 💜

Great things are about to happen this weekend - and we hope you can join us, no matter where you are. Tune in via CCC or Twitch - courtesy of our lovely StreamTeam ❤️‍🔥

We will begin broadcasting starting around 16:00 (aka Doors Open). 
Make sure to also join the evoke channel over at the demoscene discord server!

After a hot summer day, we’ll cool down and drift into a midsummer night’s dream with Jedi behind the decks.🪩
Her smooth and organic tapestry of sound will be the perfect soundtrack to close your Friday at Evoke and fill your mind with sweet intergalactic dreams. Rave gently!

Check out our SEMINAR LINE-UP!
🪴 Together we grow! Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from your peers, ask questions and discuss our past, present and the future. Here is a peek into what’s coming:

▫️ Fractures and Resilience: Digital Subcultures in Times of Crisis
After last year’s Inclusion Panel, we are happy to welcome back the Grassroots of Digital Europe (GRADE) research collective for another open deep-dive discussion. This time, the focus is on how digital subcultures have endured and adapted in times of war and crisis — with special attention to the ongoing war against Ukraine.

▫️ Art of Coding: Lightning Talks & UNESCO Update
Three rapid-fire talks dive into the art, practice, and preservation of our digital culture. Learn how to run a solar-powered archive from your living room, why preserving the demoscene’s legacy is a challenge worth tackling, and get the latest updates on the UNESCO front.

▫️ Demo Development for the Commodore PET
It’s not easy being green! Join Bodo as he gently guides you through the architectory intricacies of his favorite pet🐕‍🦺 , including a deep-dive into brand new breakthrough graphics modes and insights on open-source tools made for demo development

Those of you currently attending WHY2025 might have noticed a recent increase in seismic activity on the camp grounds, but worry not – it’s just Cmdr.Homer playing some tunes to warm up for his set at our BassContainer stage this Saturday/Sunday night!

As a seasoned party organizer himself, he knows exactly what we need at evoke: Deep Bass Jungle and a big palette of DnB subgenres. Massive!

🔊Bass music🔊 is serious business! We know that, you know that and most importantly: Your music compo orga and Evoke veteran dipswitch knows that.

Expect nothing but the finest and filthiest grime, UK garage and niche/bassline house bangers being dropped after the last compo block. We recommend bringing your own gunfingers!🕺
