After a sold-out first edition, a return was of course inevitable! Everything you used to have on repeat, everything you went wild to during your first nights out, everything you secretly still sing along to: at Club Zer00s, we play everything that mattered when you were still downloading mp3s from LimeWire and styling your hair with a cheap flat iron. From Rihanna to Tiësto, from Britney to Sean Paul, and from Snoooooop! to Def Rhymz – at Club Zer00s they all blast from the speakers again! Come dance under our own Umbrellas and show our life-sized :dancingbanana: that you and your friends still have it!

Note: The presale for this concert starts tomorrow at 10:00 via this website. K-OTIC IS COMING TO VENLO!

Songs that instantly take you back to TMF, school parties, and singing along loudly without shame. What started at Starmaker grew into a permanent place in Dutch pop music of that era.

A new unique concept: try to find out in teams of up to six people who the culprit is. Make sure you ask the suspects the right questions! A kind of Cluedo and Escape Room in one. The game is an evening-filling event and at least one team member must have a smartphone.

It all begins in 1993 in the Amsterdam Soul Kitchen, where Benjamin Herman and DJ Graham B take the stage together. While Graham B spins records, Benjamin plays. A unique combination. Eventually, this leads to the eight-piece New Cool Collective, with which the band has played countless times in leading clubs and festivals around the world, either in the regular 8-piece lineup or as a 19-piece big band. Additionally, New Cool Collective previously collaborated with the likes of Tony Allen, Mapacha Africa, Andrew Roachford, Jules Deelder, Typhoon, Guus Meeuwis, Matt Bianco, Thierno Koité, and Georgie Fame. Meanwhile, the creative engine is running at full throttle; the passion undiminished, and New Cool Collective is working on new material. Keep an eye out! As always, the focus will be on the dance floor. The motto remains unchanged: “Get the people moving” — both physically and mentally.
