He went from beatboxing as a nine-year-old, to crafting electronic dance music at sixteen, and finally evolving into a playfully eccentric indie-pop werido in his early twenties. Thor Kissing has done it all. His live shows are just as offbeat as his appearance, sending you home with a feeling that’s nearly impossible to put into words.

Within this whirlwind of synthesis, you discover essence in contradiction, beauty in imperfection, and unity in duality. For fans of Tame Impala, Melody's Echo Chamber and Beach House.

We zijn terug! Ben je al klaar voor weer een goed potje rammen met weer een dikke line-up?!

Al meer dan 20 jaar brengt deze levende legende zijn muziek ten gehore aan het grote publiek. Jaarlijks terug te zien op de grote festivals, maar ook op knusse feestjes is hij als een zoogdier in het water: 

De noeste kicks van Renoise Sine lieten menig voetjes van de vloer gaan… En guess what?

Met Pandemonium (meerdere malen), Play! Festival, Cynergize en nog veel meer vinkjes van hun bucketlist, vonden wij

Laboratorium returns to Wibar on November 22nd. 🧬

We’re diving straight back into it with a line-up that brings together three stand-out DJs: Amoral, Julia Maria and Mystral. Each with their own distinctive sound, yet all sharing the same drive for raw energy and connection on the dancefloor.

Amoral’s sets move through techno and house with dynamic, melodic rhythm, a journey through the pulsating heart of electronic music. Julia Maria delivers hard-hitting, driving techno that’s powerful from start to finish. Mystral brings fast and sexy grooves, inspired by 90s techno and built for intensity.

Een Absurde Toestand: Een Reis door het Onverwachte

In een wereld die soms voelt als een raadsel, nodigen we je uit voor een manifestatie die anders is dan anders. "Een Absurde Toestand" is geen gewoon evenement; het is een kans om de wereld eens vanuit een ander oogpunt te bekijken. Op 28 november 2025 veranderen we de Wibar in Leiden in een plek waar kunstenaars en bezoekers samen de grenzen van wat we kennen, verkennen. Waarschijnlijk zonder specifieke dieren, op de mens na.

Van ongebruikelijke lezingen tot verrassende theaterstukken, "Een Absurde Toestand" geeft kunstenaars de ruimte om de gewone manier van denken uit te dagen en je gedachten te prikkelen. Met bijdragen van Jan-Dirk van der Burg, Zarbi Zibou, Réne Oskam, Marlies Verschueren, Tessa de Swart en Joost Buis, Roggeveen|Olijerhoek, Flavia Faas, Tom Hofland, Rosa Poell, Geert Keuter, Deboska en nog veel anderen wordt deze avond een ervaring die je bij blijft. 

De Wibar, aan de Willem Barentszstraat 39 in Leiden, is de plek waar het allemaal gebeurt. Laat je niet tegenhouden door wat je denkt te weten; kom en ontdek de wereld op een nieuwe manier. Want weten wij veel wat er te gebeuren staat.

Een Absurde Toestand

When the lights dim and the confusion settles, the absurd takes over. Welcome to

Het is weer zover: tijd voor onze 4e KerstSwing op 20 december in de Wibar! 

Kaboem & Ratata de Herdertjes bij Nachte zijn de eerste die achter de draaitafel staan. Deze herders lieten in 2011 al de KerstSwing in het oude LVC beven, draaiden al twee keer eerder voor jullie én gaan deze keer weer een feestelijke explosie van beats en kerstvreugde geven. Dus geen stille nacht, maar een swingende sterrenhemel.

Dan is het tijd voor SantaPete & The Dark Snowman. De een brengt de cadeaus, de ander smelt de boel los. Bekend van vorige avonden, maar nu voor het eerst bij ons op het kerstprogramma én dat belooft wat. Hun sets zijn onvoorspelbaar, aanstekelijk en altijd feest. Verwacht mooie parels, dansbare verrassingen en een sfeer die je niet snel vergeet. 

En dan de laatste: Nocturnal Dragnet. Draait niet in het licht, maar laat je dansen in de schaduw. Bekend in de internationale goth-scene. Met jarenlange ervaring op alternatieve feesten wereldwijd staat hij garant voor een duistere, dansbare mix van goth rock, postpunk, new wave en underground parels—altijd stijlvol en verrassend. 

De VJ’s Petronella en Henry ondersteunen de muziek met hun leuke en vaak humoristische visuals. Zij schilderen met pixels. Soms herken je iets. Soms niet. Dat is precies de bedoeling. 

Je mag je voor deze avond natuurlijk in volle kersttooi hijsen, maar neem vooral jezelf mee,…..want alles mag, als je maar beweegt. En natuurlijk niet te vergeten: het is bijna de langste nacht van het jaar. Vanaf hier wordt het weer lichter. Maar eerst: dansen in het donker, verdwalen in de rookmachine tot het licht wordt.

De deuren gaan om 21:00 open, met dank aan onze helden aan de deur—vrijwilligers André, Alphons en Jacqueline—die jullie welkom heten. Maar pas op! Ze scannen sneller dan jij je jas terugvindt om 03:00.
