6x Carnival for people who hate Carnival music

Do you cringe at the thought of listening to loud Carnival music for five days, but are you in the mood for a fun dress-up party anyway? We will tell you where the safe havens are.

Want to learn what Carnival (or Carnaval, our Eve of Lent celebration) is all about? Check our beginners’ guide!

RGB Disco 

At the Silent Disco at Stratumseind, you'll always have a channel without Carnival hits. The headphones make this club less suitable for extravagant headwear, but you can take that into account when planning your outfit. Keep an eye on the RGB Disco socials for updates!

Skank and Stuiterbal @ Dynamo

This Carnival, head to Dynamo to let loose. No Carnival music, but the complete opposite. Skank and Stuiterbal is an anti-carnival party for everyone who wants to party without doing the polonaise. On Sunday, 2 March, you can come to Dynamo for a musical mix of dance and electronic!

Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven 100 Watt

Whether you need a solid meal before heading out or want to dance all day to anti-carnival music, Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven 100 Watt has got you covered! Enjoy delicious burgers, snacks, and a wide selection of beers (for the classy carnival-goer). With a new DJ spinning the decks every day, it’s set to be another unforgettable party this year!

Herrie met Gerrie Carnavalfestival @Vibes Eindhoven

You might have heard of the iconic Herrie met Gerrie parties. They are always ready to entertain you with the freshest house music, so this year's Carnival is no different! On 1 March from 4:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. they’ll be at Mainstreet Eindhoven. Tickets for the Herrie met Gerrie Carnavalfestival are available at the door. A small price to pay to avoid carnival tunes, right?

SHAWTY Carnaval Festival

No one throws a party quite like SHAWTY! At their free three-day festival on Catharinaplein, you’re safe from all that carnival ‘hoempapa’ music. Instead, you can go wild to tech house, slide into R&B and reggaeton, and lose yourself in the best hits from the '90s to now. A sexy outfit isn’t mandatory, but it’s highly encouraged!

The Revellers Bar & Events

Shake your booty at cocktail bar The Revellers on Stratumseind! During carnival, they throw their doors wide open, push the chairs aside, and transform the bar into a full-on dance palace. Expect all music genres, from irresistible house beats to sing-alongs and classic hits everyone knows. Now you know where to be!
