Ladz is Amsterdam’s dance party for lads, scallies, gabbers, and sportswear enthusiasts — the kind of night where track pants, sneakers, and a grin get you further than a tux ever could. Hosted at Club Church, the city’s home for alternative gay nights, Ladz draws a crowd that’s playful, masculine, and full of energy.
The music is all about the harder styles of dance — fast, loud, and perfect for those who love to move. DJs mix industrial beats with high-tempo house and techno, keeping the atmosphere electric from start to finish. The main dance floor is where the magic happens, but if you need a break, there’s a relaxed lounge area and a bar with friendly, good-looking staff.
Dress code matters here — sneakers, sportswear, or something that fits the vibe. No pretentious looks, just a shared love for music, sweat, and fun. Ladz runs a few times a year and attracts both locals and visitors from across Europe. Whether you come to dance, connect, or simply admire the scene, this is one of Amsterdam’s most distinctive gay parties. Check their site or Club Church’s calendar for the next date.
