Saturday 8th

Soul Night
20:30-02:30 (Ticket only)

The intimate environment of Café Batavia will again provide the venue for what will be a second full-on night of top quality soul, deep funk, classy crossover, R&B and a whole lot more played by our superb line-up of Lost Weekend DJs.

The venue:

Café Batavia is a small and intimate venue with a private party feel. A traditional Dutch “brown café” housed in a listed art deco building dating to 1920, our venue stands opposite Amsterdam Centraal Station and is just a few doors away from the impressive Basilica of St Nicholas, which dominates the station's skyline. Café Batavia has an excellent selection of bottled, draught beers and other beverages and serves great food until 21:30 each day. We'll be taking over Café Batavia for our mini weekender, which means two rooms for music as well as the front bar.

Weekender tickets:

To ensure a cosy, intimate and private party feel, ticket numbers are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Quality over quantity is our aim.

Weekend passes are available at a cost of just 20 euros per person. This includes entry into both the Friday and Saturday soul nights. The Saturday afternoon "mid-tempo and mellow" session at Café Batavia is free for everyone.

Tickets will be in the form of wristbands, which you'll get when arriving at the venue.
