Radion

What is it?

Nestled in Amsterdam’s Nieuw-West area, Radion is an industrial-looking rave venue inside a former dental centre. And, yes, before you ask, the pounding techno it plays will shake your teeth.

Is it worth visiting?

Like techno? Then Radion is the place to be. The genre is arguably the sound of Amsterdam, and Radion is the centre of this scene for many ravers. The club also has a 24-hour licence, so if you really fancy dancing until it’s almost time for lunch, you’re more than welcome. 

To sum it up: if you’re hunting for an intense, high-octane, techno-fuelled night out, Radion will be just what the doctor ordered.

Should I get a ticket in advance?

Get a ticket before you go. Radion often runs early bird offers, so it’s worth picking something up with plenty of time before the night. You can easily book these online.

Accessibility-wise, Radion is a large venue with several stairwells, making it a tough place to move around for people in wheelchairs.

Where’s good to eat near Radion?

Between midday and 10pm from Tuesday to Friday, Radion has a vegan cafe where you can grab some green treats. Beyond that, the club sits in an out-of-the-way part of Amsterdam, meaning you’re better to eat something in town before heading out. One of the closer spots is Lokaal van de Stad, a beautiful canal-side café with a wide-ranging menu.
