Charlie Sparks has quickly become a standout name in the hard techno scene. Drawing from influences UK rave culture, Charlie has become known for his high-energy, full-throttle performances and tracks like ‘Welcome to London’, ‘Tatakai’ and ‘Hooligans‘.
As part of his Summer Tour 2025, Charlie has shared his exclusive photo diary from three unforgettable shows: Awakenings Festival in Amsterdam, Techno Balkan in Gdansk, Es Gremi in Mallorca and XXL Malta.
All smiles as we walk to the artist entrance of Awakenings Festival and I remember walking the exact same forest in 2019 as a raver

The exact moment I got grease all on my hand and arm had to spend about 10 minutes behind the restaurant with a hot water bucket and sponge to get it all off haha
