👍👍 The temple of techno. Had my fair share of parties here and would recommend everyone to visit. Be sure to stand on the midpoint or on the left of the DJ straight up against the booth. Enjoy People often mention event, venue, sound, amazing, Awakenings, good, events,

    What a place - visited during ADE for the first time. It's an old oil tanker transformed into Amsterdam's Techno Mecca. Huge space so even if it is sold out there is always space - doesn't get too hot, great sound and a lot of rooms for crazy visuals. Friendly sruff and great lockers! Pictures are from Awakenings X Afterlife (ADE 2019) CU soon!

    The best techno parties I ever had took place here. Since the venue is round, the sound has special vibes, and you get lost in the music frequencies before realizing how good are the speakers. Lights, visuals and even fireworks are well thought to keep you awake and constantly surprised. You can leave your stuff in a box at the entrance (with a code to open/close it, very very safe), bathrooms are usually clean and the bartenders fast. Love it!

    An amazing venue for electronic music parties. Great soundsystem, spacious and good airco (at least in winter when we visited).

    Historic place for techno music in the hearth of an amazing park. North west of Amsterdam central. Entrance located in the north of the venue, which doesn't make much sense as most bus/tram lines end on the south. A lot of lockers are available, awful price of 9€ for a medium one or 15€ for a large one. Mandatory to buy them as no cloaks or bags are allowed on the dance area. Bar area is fairly organised. Music is pretty loud, consider taking ear plugs. Terribly small smoking area, really not enough for all participants.

    One of the most amazing venues. Dutch people know how to make a proper party! Great venue and the most important is NEVER being overcrowded and oversold.

    The place is really nice for events. I’ve had multiple events there and it’s easily one if my favorite venues to go. There’s a nice park where you can relax, walk or jog.

    The temperature and lighting was perfect. It was easy to see the screens from the back. The staff that offered tea, coffee, and water was on point. The sound was great. Very exciting atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Tim Van den B. 2 months ago on Google • 38 reviews New
    Second time here. Beautiful venue! Sound was good. Excellent view off the stage from all sides. I didn't have to wait long at the bar, but it wasn't sold out. There are toilets on one side off the venue. Could be a problem if you're standing on the other side. There is no place to sit down. Not very friendly for people who have difficulty walking.

    Beautiful event venue! It is huge and the location is great as well. The only thing is that the sound echoes.

    An amazing life change seminar experience with the event called the Law of Attraction. There could not be a better place to be, there could not be a better place for the event to happen. Life change event at the Gashouder. 2024 is waiting for another event again. Thank you for all the people that together made it happen. Life force energy!

    Attended Awakenings Festival for the second time, and each night was an unforgettable experience. The venue's unique atmosphere, coupled with the electrifying energy of the festival, made it the best two nights of my life.

    100 percent the best location for an indoor rave, the lights are amazing and the atmosphere overall is one of the best I have seen!

  • 5/5 Nicole 1 year ago on Google
    I went here to see Paula Temple during Awakenings and it was the best experience ever! Her music in combination with the lighting was magical.

  • 4/5 Jad K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best place for techno parties in Amsterdam. I always go there whenever there is an event. 4 starts just because of the toilets planning. The venue hosted thousands of people with a handful of toilets.

    Super cool place for techno events. They have a good sound system and an epic lightshow during the shows. If you wanna attend a big party in Amsterdam, this is the place to go!

  • 5/5 Leonel Lopez Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I was there for "The Art of Drinks" event, it was in a beautiful old building with an amazing vibe. It also has great outdoor features and restaurants.

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to Awakenings to see Richie Hawtin and others. Superb venue. Not too packed. They have food and a smoking room. Sound system is banging and the lights are amazing. Also, fireworks, indoor rockets and other pyrotechnics. Can see why it's called the Temple of Techno. 👍😁
