Rapido

(21 Ratings)
The circuit comes to town

Occasional but always huge and glossy dance parties for the circuit crowd, staged a few times a year and often coinciding with special events on the Dutch calendar, whether Koningsdag (King's Day), Gay Pride or Halloween. A "pop podium, club and cultural center in one." The Rapido promoters also present FunHouse and collaborations with other clubs, with details on the website. Rapido started in 2004. "Drag is art. Drag is freedom." Check website for next event, whether at Paradiso (Weteringschans 6-8, 1017 SG), Transformatorhuis (Klönneplein 2, 1014 DD) or somewhere else.
