18hrs Festival – 11th July
If you've ever not wanted a festival to
end, or struggled to find a good after
party, 18hrs Festival is here to help. Held
at Balkenhaven-terrein in Zaandam, just
ten minutes distance from Amsterdam,
18hrs brings you a vast array of techno,
deep house, and tech house beats all
night long – the outdoor stage is open
until 11pm, and the indoor warehouse
will be blasting music until 6am. Queen
of techno Monika Kruse will host the
Terminal M stage, and Spanish club
brand Elrow take over the indoor main
room with heavy based techno and
fancy dress. 44Bass, initiated by Wouter
S, will be filled with UK bass, house, and
garage, and Joey Daniel will join 18hrs
with an impressive house and techno
line-up. The Cave, hosted by the Kriss
Kross Amsterdam DJ team, is a brand
new area for this year, and will be home
to the city's finest.
