The Sugar Factory is the perfect place to dive into dance, live music, live art, poetry, theater and cabaret . The Factory is located next to the Leidse plein, the centre of Amsterdam night life, and this club is an absolute must for everyone who loves art and disco until dawn. Founded by well known characters from the Amsterdam Clubbing scene, it offers a varied program with a different theme, an inspiring guest and great daring, varied inspiring music each night.

The Sugar Factory organises this multidisciplinary program for an entire week. Here’s a peak into the agenda of the most important evenings:

• The monthly DJ DiscoCult evening is the Sugar Factory’s own dance night, hosted and organized by a combination of 4 famous personalities; two DJ’s, one VJ/photographer/artist and one host . They join their innovative forces to create a unique sound, that is famous for its mixes of Dance, daring rebellious tracks and avantgarde DJ music style.
• On Monday you can discover the swing beats of the Konrad Koselleck Big Band. Every month they invite one or more solo artists and musicians to join them on stage. The Big Band them selves compose new arrangements for their specific guests, which have included Sven Ratzke. Ellen ten Damme and classical musician Calron McFadden.
• Every third Monday of the month, groove the funky Soul music of the Clipsters.
• There is also the monthly Etnisch Hysterisch with dance tracks from gypsies, Indians, the Balkan, Arabs, Latinos, and lots of other exotic, sometimes overlooked areas of the world.
• A Jam session on Monday with famous saxophonist Candy Dulfer.
