Dutch club Trouw to close in 2015, bans photography
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 27 November 2013
Netherlands dance/weed mecca Trouw is to close in 2015, it’s been confirmed.
Team Trouw detailed the Amsterdam-based nightspot’s final “climax” year earlier this week, also revealing that, as of 1 January 2014 at 9am, the club will ban all on-site photography because, apparently: “We go the club to lose ourselves in the music, to escape our daily activities and to together form a temporary family for one. We hope that when the cameras are gone, a feeling will emerge whereby everyone can do, act and wear whatever he/she pleases. What happens in Trouw, stays in Trouw”.
Hmm. The club’s other stipulation for its last year in action is that it’ll only sell advance tickets for special events, rather than – as in the past – for regular nights too.
The bit in the statement explaining that decision reads: “Currently, we’re witnessing that a lot of popular events sell out completely in presale, which automatically excludes a lot of people. We want people to come to Trouw for the artists, the music and the freedom. Trouw is where the magic happens, and we want everyone to be completely ‘in the moment'”.
