Why are you called Breakfast Club?
A hearty breakfast buffet at sunrise right next to a dancefloor thumping to the finest beats like day or night doesn’t matter? That is what makes Breakfast Club a unique player in the game.
In an era when Amsterdam’s party scene saw itself being strictened by conventional curfews, we wanted to party just a little bit longer..
What started off as a small scale afterparty in Canvas has developed itself over the years into the leading day-time event it is today. Notorious for off-beat opening hours, our clued in crowd, exuberant ambiance, quirky programming plus free and fresh breakfast.
After ten plus years of great raves, The Hemkade 48 heralds a new chapter of delightful day-time raving.
Can I still get tickets for Breakfast Club ADE Weekender?
Our Saturday is fully sold out – but the Sunday is still on sale.
Why is the Sunday for legends?
It’s our favourite day of the year: Breakfast Club’s infamous ADE Sunday. Once the dust of
the conference has settled, the business deals have been made and all the FOMO and fuss
of the weekend have worn off, people are at their most receptive and responsive. And that’s
exactly what gives our ADE closings their phenomenal vibe.
Wherever you go clubbing, Sunday is always the preferred night for music lovers and party
professionals. But during ADE, this takes on an entirely new level. We’re so proud and
humbled that BFC’s Sunday has become the traditional gathering place for our friends,
colleagues, and most beloved artists. This is the one time of the year when, besides
connecting with our local base, we get to party with our extended family from abroad.
Why the Hemkade 48 Complex?
After a girlfriend tipped us off about a fetish party she’d attended at Hemkade, we decided to pay the place a visit. This also aligned with a hazy recollection of mine (Brent). After Dance Valley in 1997, I ended up at the Hemkade as a 17-year-old boy. I remember being completely mesmerised by the place, but also falling asleep on a couch and still remember my bewilderment when I woke up to a thumping beat. It’s memories like these that stick with you for a lifetime, and it was also what planted the seed for the initial location visit of BFC at Hemkade 48.
The Hemkade 48 is every raver’s dream location. With it’s many little hallways, nooks and crannies, it’s the perfect new location for Breakfast Club. The factory was originally built in 1947 to manufacture oil barrels. In 1994, the venue’s purpose was changed into hosting events. Since then, it has hosted a myriad of illustrious raves, like ‘Thunderdome’, ‘Multigroove’ and the infamous fetish parties ‘Wasteland’.
How can I get to the Hemkade 48 Complex?
~ For an easy and smooth travel back and forth we will be taking care of a shuttle service between the train station of Amsterdam Sloterdijk and Hemkade 48 which will cost €8,50 for a return.
~ 15-20 min by taxi (25€ regular fare) from Amsterdam Sloterdijk.
~ There’s a ferry (Hempont) going back and forth between Central Station and het HEM-terrain as well. Please navigate through Google Maps to ‘Hemkade 48’ for your smoothest route.
