KABUL à GoGo is a celebrated nightclub located in the
Netherlands, known for its vibrant atmosphere, eclectic programming, and deep cultural significance within the local and international nightlife scene. Originally opened in the late 1990s, KABUL à GoGo quickly established itself as an avant-garde hub for music lovers, artists, and creatives seeking an alternative to mainstream club experiences. The venue distinguished itself with its commitment to inclusivity and diversity, frequently hosting themed nights that spanned genres from indie rock and electronic music to world beats and experimental performances.
Its name, evocative of global wanderlust and subcultural curiosity, mirrored the club's rotation of musical influences and the international clientele it attracted. Over the years, KABUL à GoGo moved once from its
initial underground location in a repurposed warehouse on the outskirts of
Amsterdam to a larger, more centrally located space in the heart of the city's nightlife district. This shift allowed for expanded capacity and improved sound and lighting systems, cementing its reputation as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists.
The club’s independent ethos also made it a critical launching pad for emerging talent, nurturing local artists and DJs while regularly booking prominent international acts. Beyond music, KABUL à GoGo played a significant role in supporting social causes and creative initiatives, becoming a symbol of progressive nightlife culture in the
Netherlands. Its storied history and ever-evolving programming have ensured its continued relevance, even as other iconic venues have faded over time.
Notable artists who have graced the stage at KABUL à GoGo include international luminaries such as
Maceo Plex,
Peggy Gou,
The Avalanches, and
Hot Chip, alongside acclaimed Dutch talents like
Carista,
David Vunk,
Young Marco, and
Lyzza. The club has also played host to unforgettable performances by
Gilles Peterson,
Helena Hauff, and
Palms Trax, as well as offering residency nights to local collectives like Rush Hour and Dekmantel, further solidifying its legacy as a dynamic force in the
Netherlands’ nightlife and music culture.
