At a moment when nightlife across the continent is facing political hurdles and economic challenges, a new generation of forward-thinking venues is proving that the clubbing spirit is very much alive.
From bunkers in Germany to reimagined warehouses in Belgium, these spaces highlight how diverse Europe’s dancefloor landscape can be. Some lean into groundbreaking sound design, others into spectacular visual production, while a few breathe new life into historic spaces. All of them, however, are pushing the culture forward.
Here are the clubs making waves right now:
1) Open Ground — Wuppertal, Germany
A former WWII bunker has been reborn as one of the most technically ambitious clubs in Europe. Outfitted with a bespoke Funktion-One rig so advanced it’s used for prototype testing, Open Ground has impressed names like dBridge, Appleblim and OK Williams. Its industrial edge is matched by genre-fluid bookings across dub, techno and amapiano, drawing an already devoted crowd.
2) Gallery Club — London, UK
From the team behind B Club, Gallery brings raw underground energy to West London. With four distinct areas, a 360° booth made of 10 tons of concrete, and a hidden Neapolitan pizzeria, the venue mixes industrial grit with cutting-edge production. International heavyweights including Seth Troxler, BLOND:ISH and Prospa have already played here, with Jeremy Underground, Traumer and Beltran up next.
3) [UNVRS] — Ibiza, Spain
The biggest Ibiza opening since Hï in 2017, [UNVRS] has transformed the old Privilege site into a futuristic “hyper club.” Arena-level production, world-class sound, and a line-up boasting Carl Cox, Eric Prydz and Jamie Jones have cemented its place as a must-visit this season.
4) AMØK — Mallorca, Spain
Shaking off Ibiza’s shadow, AMØK is reshaping Mallorca’s nightlife identity. With seven nights of programming, a split design between terrace and main room, and over 140 moving lights, it’s as much cultural hub as megaclub. From Ben Klock to James Hype, bookings show the ambition to rival any Balearic venue.
5) Tomodachi — Ibiza, Spain
Founded by Danny Miller (Real Gang), Tomodachi champions underground purity with a strict no-phones policy. Featuring a bespoke TPI TYPE.MFR system and lineups with Dana Ruh, Samuel Deep, and Tania Vulcano, it’s a dream project rooted in storytelling sets and intimate dancefloor culture.
6) Ambers’s — Manchester, UK
With a 1,000-capacity split across two rooms and a focus on inclusivity, Ambers has already become one of the UK’s boldest new clubs. A strict no-phones rule sets the tone, while the UK’s first NNNN sound system powers its second room. Juan Atkins, Skream and Ryan Elliot have already played its floors.
7) Quarters — Brighton, UK
Breathing new life into the iconic Zap/Arch space, Quarters is Brighton’s biggest opening in years. With an L-Acoustics A15 surround system, a 360° booth, and early bookings like Laurent Garnier, Jyoty and Saoirse, it’s a nod to the city’s clubbing heritage with a sharp eye on the future

8) Kompass Klub — Ghent, Belgium
After years of nomadic spaces, Kompass finally returns home to its iconic warehouse site on October 3, 2025. Known for its gritty industrial aesthetic and pounding sound, the club reclaims its place as a cult favourite for techno lovers, showing how a legend can be reborn without losing its raw edge.
