Sneakerheads will enjoy a dance floor where the "Sound of Rum" will come alive through the hottest DJs the city has offer: Jarreau Vandal , CinCity, Philou Louzolo and Patrick Mason will mix electronic music and the Sound of Rum like never before. The pop-up event is set to take place during one of the world's biggest electronic and dance festivals, Amsterdam Dance Event. The five-day music extravaganza draws in some of the most respected artists within the genre, making it the ideal backdrop for a partnership rooted in self-expression, dance, and music. Guests who enter will be immersed in the Caribbean heritage of BACARDÍ, as they sip on delicious rum cocktails, explore the collaboration, and do what moves them in their new pair of BACARDÍ x Filling Pieces dancing shoes.
Tjalling Simoons, Regional Brand Director of Europe at BACARDÍ Rum, commented, "Our collaboration with Filling Pieces brings to life the essence of BACARDÍ Rum and our Do What Moves You brand platform, which embodies the spirit of liberation and self-expression through dance and music. The powerful synergy between both brands aligns seamlessly and is reflected across all the partnership elements. We're looking forward to inviting everyone to not only enjoy our exceptional rum cocktails but also to put on their BACARDÍ x Filling Pieces Dancing Shoes and move to the Sound of Rum."

About BACARDÍ® Rum - The World's Most Awarded Rum
In 1862, in the city of Santiago de Cuba , founder Don Facundo Bacardi Massó revolutionised the spirits industry when he created a light-bodied rum with a particularly smooth taste - BACARDÍ. The unique taste of BACARDÍ rum inspired cocktail pioneers to invent some of the world's most famous recipes including the BACARDÍ Mojito, the BACARDÍ Daiquiri, the BACARDÍ Cuba Libre, the BACARDÍ® Piña Colada and the BACARDÍ Presidente. BACARDÍ rum is the world's most awarded spirit, with more than 1,000 awards for quality, taste, and innovation. Today, the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico is home to BACARDÍ rum where it is crafted to ensure the taste remains the same today as it did when it was first blended in 1862. www.bacardi.com
The BACARDÍ brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda . Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited.
