Ongehoord
March 1 23:59-05:00, at Simplon

With their second anniversary coming up in April, ‘Ongehoord’ will have a good (yet cheap) party to celebrate. This edition will be an "experimental playground for things to come”. Which in plain English means that they won’t be sticking to one genre but mix it all up and combine techno with drum & bass and electro with dubstep (and who knows what else), all on the same dancefloor.

Price: €3. Find out everything you want to know here and buy your tickets here.
