In a time when ticket prices soar, beats rush rather than captivate, and space to dance is undervalued over ticket revenue, we feel that, yes, it can be different.

We therefore bring you: VM Open

A sun-kissed haven, an intimate gathering suffused with positivity and the promise of something truly special. Here, at the beautiful city beach of De VerbroederIJ in Amsterdam Noord, we invite you to experience a day like no other.

Join us on Saturday, August 10th, for a true sense of community and a celebration of quality dance music in its purest form. No gimmicks, no frills—just the undeniable allure of sounds that speak to the soul.

📅 Saturday August 10th (add to calendar)
🕒 14:00 – 00:00
📍 De VerbroederIJ, Johan van Hasseltweg 21, Amsterdam

Note: to foster community spirit, we will keep this event under the radar. To stay up-to-date on all event communication, join our WhatsApp group.
