About this event
Cirque du Bounce is a one-day, one-night festival of techno, bounce and house - wrapped in the maximalist magic of circus. Think big-top colour, fire and energy, street-performer spectacle and underground rave, all sharing the same extraordinary space.
The atmosphere begins sun-drenched and playful in the afternoon, with a craft market, live art, outdoor installations and a second stage warming the crowd with house and funk.
As the sun goes down, the energy transforms - darker, harder, more visceral - until the main stage is pounding bounce techno into the early hours of the morning.

MIESØ
MIESØ, a 27-year-old DJ from The Netherlands, is a rising star in the electronic music scene, blending diverse cultural influences and a deep passion for music into every set. Born and raised in the small town of Alphen aan den Rijn, MIESØ's journey took a huge turn when she moved to Amsterdam—a place that’s been nothing short of life-changing. With Chinese-Japanese roots and Indonesian heritage, MIESØ is a true mix of cultures, bringing a unique perspective and energy to everything she does. Music has always been a part of MIESØ's life, but it wasn’t until immersing herself in Amsterdam’s vibrant rave scene that everything clicked. It was at Cynthia Spierings’ 24-hour set at Thuishaven that the spark was lit. Watching her command the crowd as a female DJ, MIESØ knew right then that this was the path she was meant to take. The feeling of seeing people lost in the music, dancing and living in the moment, became the driving force behind her own DJ journey. The passion for seeing others happy, combined with the energy and connection of the rave community, inspired MIESØ to step up and create that same feeling for others. MIESØ's music spans a wide range of sounds, from trance to hard techno and everything in between, as long as it has that upbeat energy. Her sets build intensity, weaving through moments of high energy, with drops that hit hard and unexpected twists that keep listeners on their toes. MIESØ isn’t just about playing music—she’s about creating an experience, a story that unfolds on the dancefloor, where every beat connects and every drop leaves the crowd craving more. Above all, MIESØ loves seeing people happy—whether it's watching them lose themselves in the music or simply being part of a community that celebrates freedom and connection.
