On February 20th, we welcome one of our all time favourite DJs to Wibar. Octo Octa joins us for a very special night, supported by jannah and Foghan.


Octo Octa is an artist who plays from the heart and straight to the dancefloor. Her sets are emotional, ecstatic and deeply human, constantly moving between house, techno and breakbeat with a sense of joy and vulnerability that is unmistakably her own. As a radical queer trans woman, her work is openly autobiographical and rooted in connection, healing and celebration. Through her music and her label T4T LUV NRG, which she runs together with Eris Drew, she has helped create a platform that celebrates trans love, visibility and the magic of the dancefloor.

Her uplifting and emotional sound has been embraced on dancefloors around the world, from intimate clubs to festivals like Sónar and Dekmantel. At Wibar, she will play an extended three hour vinyl set.


Opening duties are in the hands of jannah, a Utrecht based DJ with a sharp ear for raw and underground electronics. Drawing from early house, electro, acid and techno, her sound is gritty, unpredictable and built on strong grooves, punchy basslines and stripped back rhythms that keep the floor moving.



Also on support duties is Foghan, a true vinyl connoisseur and long standing ambassador of house music culture. His selections are warm, soulful and deeply rooted in the underground, shaped by years of dedication to the scene and an uncompromising love for the music.

A full night of emotion and dancefloor connection. This one is special. Join us there!

A vinyl only night where emotion, groove and connection lead the dancefloor.

History is made when Latin energy meets Dutch cobblestones. Wibar presents the first-ever Baila Dembow event in Leiden - five hours of pure Latin urban energy that's been shaking dance floors across Europe.
This is for Leiden's diverse community - students from 115 countries, Latin diaspora, expats, and locals - comes together under one roof to experience the sound dominating global charts. From Santo Domingo's dembow to Medellín's reggaeton, we're bringing the heat that's been missing from the Key City.

THE SOUND:
Dembow rhythms that'll test your stamina. Reggaeton classics and fresh hits from Bad Bunny, Karol G, El Alfa, Rauw Alejandro, and Tokischa. Latin urban tracks that make you forget you're in the Netherlands. This is the soundtrack of a generation - raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically loud.

THE VIBE:
Wibar's industrial warehouse transformed into a Latin dance floor. Five hours of non-stop movement. A crowd that knows every word or is about to discover their new obsession.

For the homesick Latin Americans craving their sound. For international students ready to dance like they're back home. For the Dutch curious about the rhythm taking over the world. For anyone who needs perreo therapy after a long week.

No more taking the train to Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Leiden finally gets its moment.
First time. One warehouse. Unforgettable night.


Ages 18+

Movida begins on the dancefloor. A movement where rhythm connects and bodies move as one.

It's a return to why we gather in the first place. When we meet on the dancefloor, something ancient wakes up. Shoulder to shoulder, moving together, guided by rhythm. Just sound and the people you share it with. A shared pulse. A healing force. House music in its purest form.

Movida is about freedom and togetherness. Finding strength in the sound, joy in the celebration, and meaning in the collective moment.

For the first edition on March 21, we invite three selectors who understand this language deeply. Artists who play from the heart and for the room. Each with their own voice, united by a deep respect for house music’s roots and its power to bring people together. DTM Funk, Kléo, and Kevin Lo.

Come as you are. Move how you feel. Let the music do the rest. 

House music, rhythm connects, bodies move as one.

Ploegen op rotsen. Zonder weerstand geen schoonheid. Ploegendienst is nog altijd 100% anti-alles, "zeker anti-alles wat mensen zeggen dat je moet zijn." Ploegendienst is niet die band die je vorig jaar een kroeg zag afbreken, ook al lijken ze daar misschien wel op. Ploegendienst is "constante groei", "geen angst"; een constant spanningsveld. De vier leggen elkaar het vuur aan de schenen, pulken het bloed onder elkaars nagels vandaan - en al die wrijving gaf nog nooit zoveel glans als op het nieuwe album DSM-5.

Noem het hardcore, noem het punk, noem het "venijnige popmuziek". Noem het wat je wilt, het maakt niet uit. Ploegendienst gaat rücksichtslos te werk en bestaat alleen in het moment. Dat moment? Dan moet je de punkband rond Ray Fuego live aan het werk zien.

Een uitverkochte tour met de vrienden van Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, shows in de beste clubs van Nederland en België en volle festivalzomers -waaronder Pukkelpop, Pinkpop en Lowlands- zet de band definitief op de kaart.

"Ploegendienst, misschien wel de beste Nederlandse punkrepresentant van nu, met scheldkanonnades van frontman Ray Fuego en knalharde hardcore.’ - Aldus de Volkskrant na hun memorabele show in de grote zaal van Paradiso.

Goed, de band is in vorm en dat zullen ze laten zien ook.
