On July 4th, we welcome a true Dutch dance music icon to Wibar: Michel de Hey.

For more than three decades, Michel has been a driving force within house and techno. From underground warehouses to the world's most respected clubs and festivals, he has built a reputation on versatility, experience and an instinctive understanding of the dancefloor. Whether he's digging deep into warm house grooves or pushing into rolling peak-time techno, his sets are always guided by energy, flow and a genuine love for the music.

Alongside his work as a DJ, Michel has spent years shaping the scene through his labels EC Records and HEY! Records, radio shows and countless collaborations, helping generations of dancers discover new sounds along the way.

Support comes from Leiden's own Cera and FIXY resident Renceau.

Bad Bunny, Karol G, El Alfa, Daddy Yankee and the whole sound that keeps our dancefloors moving until sunrise.

Playtime is over… This summer we’re closing our doors. 🦆

But not forever. We’ll be back in September, fresh, clean and maybe even slightly changed. 👀

Before we leave you with a Wibar sized hole in your life, we want to go out with a bang. Join us for our Wibar Closing Party on July 25th and send us off properly before summer fully kicks in.

For the occasion we’ve invited Naomi and Vasco to take care of the main room all night long, both stepping up for extended three hour sets.

Berlin based Naomi has been making serious moves over the last years with energetic and groove driven house sets. From Panorama Bar to Radion beyond, she moves with ease and keeps her focus firmly on the floor.

Vasco comes in from Utrecht with a deep record bag and a clear instinct for where a night should go. Expect house in all its shades, from warm and soulful to rougher, more percussive moments, always guided by a strong feel for the room.

Meanwhile upstairs, our friends from Ponyclub and Rollende Beats are taking over with their resident DJs for one final upstairs session before summer.

See you on the dancefloor one more time. 🫂

ANTICIPATE

We’ve risen from the ashes. On September 4th Wibar returns for the official season opening. 🔥

Hopefully you’ve kept the fire burning while we’ve been gone, but soon the summer is coming to an end and it’s time to step back into the warehouse. From September onwards we’re back in full force and we can't wait to welcome you back.

To ignite the new season properly we’re bringing in electro pioneer Detroit In Effect, flying in straight from Detroit with the kind of raw machine funk that helped shape dance music as we know it. Joining him for a special b2b is Dutch underground icon Serge, a true architect of the scene whose work with Clone Records has connected generations of dancers, diggers and artists across the globe.

Opening the night is crewfavourite jannah, delivering exactly the kind of sharp, uncompromising energy needed to set things in motion.

Time to get back in the club. See you on the dancefloor.

Jullie hebben het gevraagd, wij hebben geluisterd. Op 5 september doen we het nét even anders: een dageditie van The Laundry Club.

Verwacht een lange dag vol euforie, unreleased heaters, kwaliteits house maar vooral de vertrouwde Laundry energie! Wil je tussendoor even opladen? Dan kun je in De Binnenplaats lekker chillen en heerlijke houtgestookte pizza’s halen, zodat je met een goed gevulde maag weer terug de dansvloer op kan.

Onze residents en founders Coby Grey b2b Afternoon Delight trappen het af zoals alleen zij dat kunnen. Daarna is het de beurt aan Kara Okay, onze headliner, die vroeg op de dag al een heerlijk lange set komt draaien vol euforische sounds en ongelofelijk veel unreleased eigen materiaal.

Vervolgens verwelkomen we Lenny del Skon, hij reist af vanuit het zuiden en won de talent show van DGTL waarna hij in de legendarische Crane mocht draaien. Ook Flow State is erbij, een bekende naam uit de buurt met een rugtas vol unreleased platen die worden platgedraaid door o.a. Kettama, Benwal en Lammer.

AIS sluit de dag af. Wederom een groot talent uit de buurt die komt met snelle, bouncy energie om de dansvloer nog één laatste keer helemaal los te trekken.

5 september. Overdag. Laundry op de dansvloer, pizza’s in De Binnenplaats.

On September 5th, we celebrate Leiden Pride with Wibar ...IsBurning. 🫂

For over a decade, IsBurning has been creating spaces where freedom, connection and self-expression come first. Born in Amsterdam’s queer underground, they’ve built dancefloors known for bringing people together through music, community and shared experience.

This night is about celebrating exactly that. A space where everyone is welcome, where no-nonsene house en techno carry us through the night and where the dancefloor belongs to all of us. The line-up will stay a secret until the day of, but you can be sure that it won't dissapoint...

Come as you are. Let’s party babes. ❤️‍🔥

Wibar ...IsBurning - Leiden Pride

Hun duo-show was vorig jaar een van die avonden die nog lang bleef nazinderen, en we zijn dan ook bijzonder blij dat ze terugkeren naar Leiden.

 laat Erik de Jong al ruim 20 jaar een onmiskenbare indruk achter bij het Nederlandse publiek. Door zijn vele hits, zoals “Ik wil alleen maar zwemmen”, “Bagagedrager” en “Kom Terug”, groeide Spinvis uit tot een alom geliefd figuur, die nog steeds keer op keer weet te verwonderen met zijn muziek. Eigenzinnig en veelzijdig, muzikaal en poëtisch.

De Belgische zangeres, celliste, componist en theatermaker 

volgde een klassieke opleiding tot celliste en speelde in onder andere het Riciotti Ensemble, Het Gelders Orkest en I Fiamminghi. Al sinds 2003 speelt ze samen met 

Ze vonden elkaar in hun vergelijkbare blik op fantasie en werkelijkheid en hun brede muzikale smaak. Hun samenwerking resulteert in een intieme en sfeervolle voorstelling die je niet wilt missen.

Na de show kun je blijven plakken voor de

 een van zijn iconische dj-sets zal draaien.

Vorig jaar waren we weken van tevoren uitverkocht. Zorg dat je snel je kaartje bemachtigt. We zien jullie daar!

LIVE IN DE LOODS | Spinvis & Saartje Van Camp

On September 12th INDIE GLORIA returns to Wibar for another night filled with indie and alternative bangers. This time they're joined by a very special guest: Spinvis.

Known for his unique songwriting and unmistakable sound, Erik de Jong has spent more than two decades building a world entirely his own. Less known, but equally beloved by those in the know, are his DJ sets. Eclectic, surprising and impossible to pin down, they move effortlessly between forgotten gems, indie classics, leftfield pop and unexpected dancefloor moments.

Together with the INDIE GLORIA crew, he'll take over our booth for a night where genres blur and curiosity is rewarded. Expect everything from timeless singalongs to fresh discoveries, danceable indie, post-punk, new wave and plenty of records you won't hear anywhere else.

Whether you're a longtime Spinvis fan, an INDIE GLORIA regular, or simply looking for an alternative dancefloor, this is one you won't want to miss.

On September 18th, Wibar Invites returns with an artist we’ve been wanting to host for a long time. Someone whose music, energy and vision feels deeply connected to everything we love about dance music. We’re incredibly excited to welcome Narciss to Leiden. ✨

Narciss creates music that lives somewhere between pain and pleasure, turning emotion into pure release on the dancefloor. Their sound moves effortlessly between euphoric melodies, heavy low end and moments of pure catharsis, always carrying an intensity that resonates far beyond the club itself. Through their constantly evolving artistic journey built around transformation and self expression, Narciss has become one of the most exciting and distinctive voices in electronic music right now.

Joining them are two artists we’re equally proud to have on this line up.

36framez has become a familiar face in nightlife through their photography and  presence, but behind the lens sits one of the most exciting emerging selectors out there right now. Strictly vinyl, deeply passionate and armed with a record bag full of house and unexpected gems built for pure freedom on the dancefloor.

Opening the night is Leiden’s own DJ Spektrum, a true vinyl enthusiast whose sets pull inspiration from late 90s and early 00s. Expect sharp selections, unexpected twists and exactly the kind of energy we love to kick off the night with.

A line up we genuinely love from start to finish. September 18th. See you there. 🖤

The immaculate Narciss finally makes their way to Leiden!
