Stage 01 of 03Fri–Sun · 20:00–04:00

HAL

Peak-time techno under the crane rails.

The largest Fenix hall: steel trusses, a poured concrete floor, and the rig hung from the rails that once moved cargo to the quay. Four-to-the-floor from 20:00, the headliners after midnight, house lights at 04:00.

KOLMA 00:30

Stage 02 of 03Fri–Sat 21:00 · Sun 20:00 · until 04:00

SILO

Live, strange, and in the round.

A circular grain store with speakers on every wall. Live sets, modular rigs, a choir, and the things without a genre yet. In the afternoon it becomes the listening room: seats, low light, one record at a time.

Fri 12
Mareld, live 23:00
Sat 13
Eskel, live 23:30
Sun 14
Halcyon Unit, live 23:00
Stage 03 of 03Fri–Sun · 20:00–06:00

DOK

Bass, breaks, and a slow sunrise.

The quayside hall, its loading doors open to the Maas. Broken beats until 04:00, then the closing sets: two more hours for Night Owl pass holders, ending as the river gets light.

Fri 12
Lior Ama 04:00–06:00
Sat 13
Yusuf Okon b2b Lune 04:00–06:00
Sun 14
Elke Moor 04:00–06:00
