Maassilo

Rotterdam


With exposed pipes, graffiti-scrawled concrete pillars and metal railings, this former grain store from the early 20th century is now Rotterdam’s biggest club. Depending on the night, expect DJs to pump out everything from thumping tech-house to bass-heavy Soca music. Check the online agenda for event details.
