Thuishaven is a renowned nightclub and festival hub located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere and influential role in the Dutch electronic music scene. Since its inception in 2013, Thuishaven has become synonymous with immersive, circus-like events that blur the lines between festival and club culture, attracting a diverse and devoted crowd year-round. Originally started as a winter festival series in a former industrial site in the Westpoort district, it quickly expanded into a permanent venue featuring heated circus tents, open-air stages, and whimsical decorations reminiscent of a traveling carnival.

Over the years, the venue’s infrastructure has grown significantly, transforming from a modest pop-up into a sprawling, semi-permanent playground equipped with cutting-edge sound systems, artistic installations, and sustainable practices. Thuishaven’s reputation is built on its commitment to inclusivity, community spirit, and curating lineups that showcase both rising Dutch talents and acclaimed international acts. The club has played a pivotal role in shaping Amsterdam’s nightlife culture, providing a platform for experimentation and fostering collaborations between local collectives and global labels.

Its unique blend of artistry, music, and community engagement has earned it a cult following, making it a must-visit destination for electronic music aficionados. Thuishaven has maintained its original location, but its physical footprint and amenities have steadily evolved, introducing new stages and weatherproof areas to accommodate the growing audience and shifting the experience from a seasonal event to a year-round celebration of music and creativity. Notable artists who have performed at Thuishaven include international names such as Boris Brejcha, Reinier Zonneveld, Adriatique, and Stephan Bodzin, as well as prominent local acts like Prunk, Michel de Hey, Benny Rodrigues, Joris Voorn, and Secret Cinema, solidifying its reputation as a mainstay of Amsterdam’s electronic music landscape.
