The following party review is based on the personal opinion of Peter an avid party goer who lives in Amsterdam. Liquid Kiddy is a reasonably new addition to the Amsterdam party scene. Sporting the somewhat adolescent slogan “We’re cumming!”, it provides a mix of different party flavours under one roof. Since this edition coincided with…
The below review was written by Peter an avid party goer living in Amsterdam about the Rapido King’s Day Edition 2019 which took place at Paradiso on 28th of April 2019. The opinions expressed in this review are his and his alone. Rapido, my favorite hedonistic cesspit. Where I mentioned before that Funhouse is my…
The below review was written by Peter an avid party goer living in Amsterdam about the Spielraum King’s Day Edition 2019 which took place at Radion on 27th of April 2019. The opinions expressed in this review are his and his alone. Spielraum has become quite a phenomenon in less than two years of existence.…
The X-Ams party concept was started last year as a techno spinoff of Funhouse. This year the organisers gave the party some dearly needed TLC by moving it to Radion. As the people behind Spielraum had already discovered two years ago, Radion is the kind of gritty concrete wonderland where you could almost believe that…
Funhouse is very special to me since it got me started on my party career two years ago. I vividly remember the moment my dear friend M and me entered the venue with some trepidation: this whole idea of dancing half naked in a place which many people (none of which had ever been there) ensured me was filled with vain muscle queens gave me some trepidation. About five seconds after entering the party we looked at each other with a big grin and with a loud YES the shirts were gone. Between us we have probably missed two editions since.
De School has quite a reputation in Amsterdam as the place to go if you’re serious about your love for techno. Although not predominantly gay it’s very open-minded. Bimonthly they organize a 48-hour party called “Het Weekend” and this event has evolved into one with an 80% gay attendance.
Bear Necessity is a medium-sized gay party aimed at beary types and their admirers. Regardless it attracts a crowd of all ages, sizes and shapes, with the majority being somewhat more mature than at most parties. The lovely thing is that the guys here look like normal, albeit somewhat kinky, people and bellies ranging from flat to round are all being shown with equal pride, as they should. This gives the party a body-positive vibe and makes people generally relaxed, friendly and approachable.
The following review was written about the Backdoor 4th Anniversary Party by Bobby an editor of Tom of Amsterdam. This was our first time attending the Backdoor party. We went with a group of people not knowing exactly what to expect. Luckily we were pleasantly surprised as the night progressed. Entering the venue, Melkweg, was…
After living a five-minute bike ride from Spellbound for two years it was time to pay this party a long-due visit. The social media presence of Spellbound always struck me as tastefully cheerful and attitude-free and that turned out to be a pretty accurate impression.
Since Amsterdam didn’t really have any gay NYE parties, this year we decided to try something new and travel down to the H.I.M NYE party in Antwerpen. We decided to use the opportunity to do a bit of site seeing since Antwerpen is also just a beautiful city. During the Christmas season they also host…
