True it was already indoor at Asta for 250, forgot about that one. Massive that you've been there! I wasn't following it as much yet back then and only read about it the day after and I was gutted! Still gutted I missed that one actually. It was practically in my back yard (only 15min drifing from my house). Was it also free entrance or just a small fee like at 400? Of course the size was much smaller and with its popularity nowadays no longer possible.

Btw, Asta closed it's doors about 2 years ago. Well, it's still called Asta and it has the same characteristic letters on the building, but there's a casino in it now :( It's where I saw Menno for the first time (playing after Tiësto) in 2006 and where I became a fan of him instantly. Sweet memories :)


It was totally free to get in until 00:00.
Was really a fantastic night and just felt like one big family there.

Shame to hear about Asta. Is it still the same owners, or did it sell to other party and then they decided to change it a casino?

I think it has other owners now. It actually already closed in 2009 (wow didn't realize it's been that long already) and it has been empty till 2013, with being squatted in 2010. It's actually only been a club from 1996-1998 and 2003-2009. From 1921-1938 it was a theatre and it's been a cinema till 1996. One of the co-owners of the club also bought Club <O> in The Hague (where Armin <O>nly was born), which is also closed down unfortunately.
