Goodbye Loophole

EDIT: We reach our goal!!! Thank you so much to everyone who donated! We will keep the campaign running and open for more donations. We are currently gathering to find solutions and alternatives and every extra euro we get will be used towards that end. More updates coming soon!

Hi everyone. We are devastated to announce that as of yesterday, Loophole at Boddinstr. 60 has been shut down.

Officially, we are being closed down for lacking the sufficient permits to continue to host concerts. We did not consider giving open access to culture and local band an opportunity to perform illegal. Additionally the exponential rent increases and repeated attempts from our neighbours to get us out of our space have put huge pressure on us. These include but are not limited to: threatening messages, police raids, and vandalism.

We are devastated to lose our space but we would like to remember these amazing, wild and yet challenging 13 years. We are so grateful for the community we have managed to create and for all the people who have participated in our collective and made this place what it was. Thank you all for your support though the years, and for keeping this insane dream alive. Special attention should be given to Jan for being the most trusting, supportive, and caring leader.

There is a little hope for the future, we will keep you updated about that. Just know that we are not yet ready to let go of what we have built.

If anyone has a lead about potential spaces where we could relocate, please get in touch.

This is to help us cover all the expenses that come with having to leave on short notice such as rent, legal fees, and moving costs.
