Hemkade 48 Concerts 2024

I have been to this event location twice now with verknipt. The experience was amazing. The first time there was nearly no queue to get in and the second time I was only in the queue for max 30 minutes. Lockers were managed good and the bar aswell. The venue looks sick and has an amazing sound system.

Japan light festival celebrated in this place on 8-10 Dec, the place was very congested for big crowd, not parking friendly.

The location for Defected 2023, a well curated space, with adequate rest rooms and lockers, easily available throughout the gig, but an aweful coupon system for drinks, which means you get to queuevup twice, and end up with a pocket full off worthless chips you paid for in the hope of getting more drunk than you did...

Visited Hemkade for a Boiler Room event recently. The venue itself is great and has a good vibe for techno events, but bars should really accept cards and also serve normal and alcoholic beverages together (we were told to go to the other end of the bar for a bottle of water which meant waiting in a new cue). Also, if you're going to work with drink tokens, at least make buying large amounts cheaper instead of keeping the same price/token for large amounts of tokens.

The concert was amazing, however the venue is very expensive and would not allow you to drink water from the tap. You were required to buy their overly-expensive water bottles without a lid.
