- Rock, New Wave, Alternative & more -

Since 2018, Club 74 Reloaded catapults you back to a time when lovers of good rock music could enjoy it several times a week in the region. Regularly, we bring the legendary discotheque back to life for you. Whether you were there back then or not – for fans of alternative music, we bring the right vibes to the dance floor and take you through the entire spectrum of 60s beat, 70s hard & prog rock, 80s new wave, 90s alternative, up to today’s indie rock.

At the center are the many Club 74 classics, flanked by long-missing treasures, harder stuff, and of course, more recent smash hits of alternative music – those tracks that saw the end of the cult discotheque unfortunately come too soon.

Always in attendance are your hosts: The DJ from Club 74 in the 90s, namely DJ Bjoern, who shaped the club sound from '91 to '99, later had successful years at busters workshop, and of course our well-known DJ Bjørn (Club 74 DJ from '02 to '04) from “Neon Club” and the precursor event “The Green Empire.”

Come by if you want to celebrate again to music off the mainstream. For those of you for whom “The Club” was a second home on weekends, this is a chance to see familiar faces again and indulge in memories framed by a decoration that brings the club back to life.

Short story about the cult discotheque Club 74:

The small place Waldems-Esch is also known as the gateway to the Golden Ground. For many, however, it has long been primarily one thing: the gateway to unusual music off the mainstream.
When the “Club 74” opened its doors on March 8, 1974, as one of many discotheques of that time, no one would have thought that this would be the beginning of a nearly 33-year-long story. Initially located in the old hall of the inn “Zur Krone,” Club 74 quickly won a colorful mixed audience. Here, everyone celebrated together: 16 to 60-year-olds, hippies, metalheads, punks, darkwavers, and many others together with students and members of the nearby US Army bases.
“The Club,” as it was briefly called, established itself from a regional to a nationwide institution. Its founder Hans (†2017), the staff, and especially the hordes of DJs, the special audience, and the expressive dance style of many “club-goers” made Club 74 a legendary place, almost magical for many. There was no dress code or fear of embarrassment on the dance floor – whether barefoot or in high heels, in the club, people celebrated, danced, and made the night into day.
Even the FAZ recognized in May 1990: “The secret center of the world is, anyway, Club 74 in Waldems-Esch.”
The move from the Western-style dance hall to the comparatively sterile-looking premises in the industrial area on the 1st Christmas holiday 1994 represented a first break for some traditionalists. Nevertheless, another 12 years of club history were written afterward, and on the wrought-iron framed dance floor, people danced their feet sore.

When Club 74 closed its doors forever on December 26, 2006, it was for many the end of an era.
