DOT Party: Throwback Thursday

Workday done? So are you. Clock out — it’s Throwback Thursday!

Undo that blouse button, fire off your last email and ditch work mode entirely. We’re the Thursday night where past and present collide. For colleagues who care more about moves than meeting notes. For friends who already think Thursday deserves champagne. For you — because life’s too short for lukewarm wine and bad conversations.

At Throwback Thursday, we blast the best hits from the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s through the speakers, from Dutch urban anthems to eurohouse classics, guilty pleasures and tracks you didn’t even know you still remembered.

At midnight, we pull the plug so you can look at least somewhat presentable at work tomorrow. Or not. A ticket costs less than a couple of beers. Cheaper than a long lunch, better than therapy.

Cheers to the now. Dance to the past.

DOT Concert: Andrei Irimia - European tour

“A night where sound and emotion meet in their purest form.”

Returning to Groningen after his appearance at Eurosonic Festival, Andrei Irimia presents an intimate solo piano concert opening his new European tour. This journey will continue through some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, including Barcelona’s Palau de la Música Catalana and the iconic Berlin Philharmonic.

In this solo performance, Andrei Irimia invites the audience into the core of his unmistakable neoclassical universe. His music moves delicately between silence and intensity, unfolding with minimalist precision, emotional depth, and a quiet cinematic quality. Each note becomes a personal confession, one that is fragile, sincere, and profoundly human.

At the piano, Andrei Irimia creates a space for contemplation and inner stillness. More than a concert, this is a shared moment of introspection, an immersive journey that lingers long after the final note fades into silence.

Tickets: 22,00 ex service fee
Doors open: 19:30
