Save The Cave Amsterdam

FINAL UPDATE MARCH 2022:

WE DID IT!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! THE CAVE IS SAVED!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!

Your support has been overwhelming and it has been the main reason Rockclub the Cave has made it through the last two-and-a-half years. The final Covid restrictions have been lifted this week and hopefully they will never ever return. Therefore, coming April 1st (No joke!), I will close down this Gofundme page. If you feel inclined to give our beloved Cave one extra final boost: This is your last chance!

Thank you all for your continued support throughout this crazy time and I hope to see you all soon at The Cave!!
-Steven.

 

General information about this campaign:

Rockclub The Cave, the ONLY real metal bar in Amsterdam, is in danger of having to close its doors forever because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

This place has been a pillar of the metal community for 25 years this year and has welcomed countless people from all around the globe. It has also provided a stage for thousands of bands both national and international. But the Cave is much more than just a bar and a stage. It is a meeting place for likeminded individuals. It's what the locals often refer to as their second living room. They organize events, trips and social gatherings. It's the beating heart of the metal community in Amsterdam.

As everyone is well aware, the Coronavirus pandemic has hit independent businesses hard and the Cave is no different. This bar has done everything to abide by the rules to create a safe environment for all, but with all these restrictions, lockdowns and shorter opening hours, business has taken a toll. Now, as Amsterdam is preparing for what looks like the second wave of the virus, more regulations are being announced. These people have done everything in their power to stay afloat, but without your help this place can not and will not survive.

So I'm calling upon the metal community to help us save Rockclub The Cave. If you can, please  donate to our campaign and please share the hell out this message. I know these are hard times for everybody. But we are metalheads. We are a family and we stick together. It's this community that brings us together at concerts, at festivals and in places like the Cave. This is the place you'll feel right at home when travelling from afar. This is the social community centre for all those people that fall outside the mainstream. This is the place where you can just randomly bump into your favourite bands after they played a show somewhere or on their day off. This is the place that will welcome your band to play a show in the centre of Amsterdam on any day of the week. This is a place the metal community needs. We need the Cave to survive this pandemic.

We must save the Cave...and we can. Together. Because together we are legion. There are millions of us all over this planet and together, there is no stopping us. Because we are "Always Rock And Metal".

So please donate, like and share. Thank you.

This way I (Steven) never have to touch the money.
