Come be one of the first daredevils to see this year's DÂK. Venture up on the roof  and explore new horizons during our legendary opening party.

We'll  get the summery vibes started with Holandaluz who'll play some crazy  psychedelic flamenco. And as the sun sinks into the skyline of Rotterdam  we'll have a b2b2b of DJs behind the decks to ease you into the night.

Quer dançar? 💃 We all know Brazil is home to some of the most danceable genres in the world, so we're dedicating a night to all the country has  to offer.

Grab your dancing partner by the waist (real tight) and enjoy tunes by DJ Pyrana & DJ CANUTO.

If you're in for an unforgettable experience; drop all your saturday errands and make sure you're on the roof by 16.00. Roda da Holanda will be doing a special 'roda da samba': an absolute feel-good experience in which you'll be amongst the musicians.

& Stick around for another live treat from MÂDE by seasoned DÂK visitor Mose; Brazilian music reinterpreted by Rotterdammers from all over.

Who are you bringing to sway with?

🕺🏽Step into  the living room (on steroids) of our DÂK chef Jona. We’re having a  Guayla Habesha; an Eritrean get-together with all the trimmings: music  and some goooood food. Together with North Sea Round Town we’re inviting Eriband up on the roof. A band sprouted from jamsessions organized by Stichting Mano . Enjoy their tunes while chowing down on a special Eritrean dish with the injera and shiro made by Jona’s mom. 🍲

Who knew tuesday could be the best day of your week!? Every tuesday our best local DJs will appear behind the turntable during the DÂK Jukebox Summer Sessions.

We got something for everyone! The ultimate end to your (working) day! 🕺🏽

These four friends with a passion for synthesizers and drum  machines are bringing a whirlwind of certified bangers to the roof.

Need a breath of fresh air after  being holed up in your office all day: DǍK is the place to go.

Y’all know  the crowd that flocks to a Yardbird party: beautiful people who know how  to get down to the best hiphop, r&b and soul. The tickets for this  classic night in our own rooftop yard sold out within the hour, but  we’ll have limited tickets at the door on the day itself. Polish your  tooth gem, brush up your Steve Martin, and see you at the door.🔥

No one’s free until we are all free. Together with Noss Noss we’re therefore  organizing a fundraiser for Palestine. To move this freely is a privilege, and it asks of us to use that freedom here to recognize the grave injustices elsewhere. The proceeds from this evening will be donated to a Palestinian cause. The music will be curated by Noss Noss,  focusing on the art of mixing - bringing people from different cultures together and celebrating the Arabic diaspora.

We’ll also have Radio Palmera on deck in case you were  missing some Latin rhythms.

And then we go home, completing another great year of DÂK. Unless you want to help us build down, gnagnagna😘
