HourGlass is a night where music, visuals, and atmosphere transform with time. Every 90 minutes, the hourglass flips — a new artist takes control, a new genre is introduced, and the atmosphere matches the new genre. Each chapter feels different, each moment more intense than the last.

Hourglass

On September 6th IsBurning and Wibar are joining forces for the very first time. 



 is a desire to be absolutely free, to shine and to be who you want to be. The lgbtqia+ event hosted by Carlos Valdes once started at Trouw and they have been curating magical nights eversince.

Expect a night of no-nonsense house and techno, built on sweat, sound, and queer expression. From the heart of Amsterdam to clubs and festivals across the globe, their collective has kept the fire burning, raw, relentless, and full of love. This night is about connection. About bodies in motion. About the dancefloor as a sanctuary. The line-up will stay a secret until the day of, but you can be sure that it won't disappoint... Everyone is a Headliner!

Come as you are and we'll see you there. 

Wibar...IsBurning

Wibar...IsBurning - Leiden Pride

The campfire is still smoldering, but we’re back for round three. Saturday the 13th of September Wibar mutates into the sweatiest, trashiest, most chaotic camping party in town, for the last time. 

This time, the decks are in the hands of Wibar's own (ex-)intern collective Internal Struggles, Rollende Beats' Beukfiets, and Ponyclub's Jonny Stardust, Danny Krull and DE_PAARD. Expect a mix of ghetto house, hard groove and trance, ready to shake up the campsite.

Whether you joined our camping before or missed it (and heard the stories), this is your chance to join the weirdest camping party in town. Roll out of your sleeping bag, zip up your tent, dust yourself off and join the final edition.

Tickets start from 10,- but if you bring a foldable camping chair you’ll get in for free.

Get ready to crash and burn, round two is loading. This time we’re headlining the madness with none other than Gladde Paling, the meme-techno disruptor melting dancefloors with chaos, cartoon samples and basslines that hit like corrupted files. A hyperactive collision of techno, hardstyle, dubstep and hardcore, filtered through the lens of pure internet absurdity. No structure, no safety net. Just glitches, kicks and internet-fuelled delirium all night long.

Two years in and we’re still here, building moments on the dancefloor with all of you wonderful people. 💙

On the 20th of September we celebrate our second anniversary at Wibar. To mark the occasion, we’re inviting one of the most consistent forces in Dutch techno: Stranger. Known for his uncompromising sound and raw energy, he’s someone we’ve wanted on the lineup for a long time.

Support comes from our very own ISA SOFI and the unstoppable Vinz Sosa. We can’t wait to see you there. Celebrate with us. 🫂
