Wasteland is Amsterdam’s most famous fetish party, even though it technically takes place in Zaandam, a short car/bus ride from the city. It’s a spectacular night where latex, leather, and creative kink come together under one roof. The crowd is mixed, but many gay and bi (or bi-curious) men make it one of their calendar highlights.
Inside, expect themed areas, live shows, and a mix of industrial and fantasy decor. The music leans toward dark electronic beats, setting a sensual, hypnotic rhythm that fills the space. Outfits are part of the fun — think skin, straps, and anything that fits the “dress to express” rule. The visual energy alone makes it worth the ticket.
For men seeking something more private, there’s usually a men-only playroom, where things get more intense and personal. Still, the overall mood stays open and respectful. Everyone is there for the same reason — to explore without judgment.
Getting there is easy: trains from Amsterdam Centraal to Zaandam run late, and most people travel in groups. Whether you go to watch, play, or simply enjoy the spectacle, Wasteland delivers a night of freedom, fantasy, and fearless expression — a key stop on the European fetish circuit.

“Europe’s biggest fetish playground just outside Amsterdam — bold, mixed, and built for fantasy.”
