About WATT Rotterdam

WATT Rotterdam sits at West-Kruiskade 26-28 in the vibrant center of Rotterdam. Known as the world’s first sustainable dance club, it has hosted international DJs and a mix of electronic and alternative performances in a multi-zone venue that includes a main hall, basement levels, two rooftop spaces, and the Lulu Café. While the venue’s traditional seating isn’t fixed like a proscenium theatre, WATT offers standing areas and diverse zones to create an immersive club experience. If you’re planning a night out or a multi-act event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on capacity, layout, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining.

Note on venue history: WATT opened in 2008 and faced financial challenges in 2010, with subsequent restructuring. Today, the space remains a landmark in Rotterdam’s club scene and is integrated into broader waterfront initiatives, while continuing to attract international acts and a diverse crowd.

Below you’ll find a practical overview for securing tickets, navigating the venue, and planning your visit with easy access to transit, parking options, and nearby hotels and restaurants via trusted partner recommendations.
