John Doe is a renowned nightclub located at Rembrandtplein 31, 1017 CT, Amsterdam, Netherlands, in the heart of one of the city’s most vibrant nightlife districts. Since its opening in 2015, John Doe has established itself as both a staple and innovator within Amsterdam’s electronic music scene. Housed in a space formerly occupied by Club Rain, the venue underwent extensive renovations before launching the John Doe concept, with a focus on minimal, elegant aesthetics and state-of-the-art sound design.

The club quickly earned a reputation for its forward-thinking musical programming, favoring underground house, techno, and eclectic electronic acts over mainstream commercial sounds. Its intimate capacity and focus on high-quality audio experiences have attracted discerning partygoers and fostered a strong community of local music lovers, DJs, and international tastemakers alike. Culturally, John Doe occupies a unique position: it serves as a bridge between Amsterdam's rich history of warehouse raves and the modern global club circuit, often being noted for its contribution to the city’s growing status as a hub for electronic music innovation.

Through collaborative events, label showcases, and unannounced secret guests, the venue has played host to numerous memorable nights shaped by both emerging and legendary talent. Despite occasional rumors about structural changes and industry-wide challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, John Doe has remained at its original Rembrandtplein location, continuously updating its interior and technical infrastructure to stay at the forefront of nightlife trends and audience expectations. Notable artists who have graced the DJ booth at John Doe include international stars such as Dubfire, Paco Osuna, Nicole Moudaber, and Michael Bibi; highly sought-after local talents like Luuk van Dijk, Prunk, Chris Stussy, Joey Daniel, Michel de Hey, and Chelina Manuhutu; as well as collectives and labels such as SlapFunk Records and PIV.

This eclectic roster underscores the club’s commitment to curating memorable, genre-defining experiences that keep Amsterdam at the center of the electronic music map.
