- Rock, New Wave, Alternative & more -

Since 2018, Club 74 Reloaded catapults you back to a time when lovers of good rock music could enjoy themselves regionally several times a week. 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 tunes 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-lost treasures, harder stuff, and of course also more current smash hits of alternative music - those tracks that the end of the cult discotheque sadly came to first.

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

Come by if you want to enjoy music off the mainstream once again. For those of you for whom "The Club" was a second home on weekends, this is the opportunity to see familiar faces again and to reminisce, framed by decorations that bring the club back to life.

You can find up-to-date information about the parties here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/club74reloaded. There you can exchange ideas (& tickets) and feel free to express (music) wishes…

It’s best to secure your tickets in advance. At the box office, they cost €12.

Short story about the cult discotheque Club 74:

The small place Waldems-Esch is also called the Gateway to the Golden Ground. For many, however, for a long time it was 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 era, no one would have thought that this would be the beginning of a nearly 33-year-long story. Initially located in the old hall building of the inn "Zur Krone," Club 74 quickly captured a diverse audience. Here, everyone celebrated together: people aged 16 to 60, hippies, metalheads, punks, darkwavers, and many others together with students and members of the nearby US Army bases.
"The Club," as it was casually called, established itself from a regional institution to one of national significance. Its founder Hans (†2017), the staff, and especially the throngs of DJs, the special audience, and the expressive dance style of many "Club-goers" made Club 74 a legendary, almost magical place for many. There was no dress code or fear of embarrassing oneself on the dance floor - whether barefoot or in high heels, the club celebrated, danced, and turned the night into day together.
Even FAZ acknowledged in May 1990: "The secret center of the world is the Club 74 in Waldems-Esch anyway."
The move from the Western-style dance hall to the comparatively sterile-looking premises in the industrial area on Christmas Day 1994 marked a first rupture for some traditionalists. Nevertheless, another 12 years of club history were written thereafter and feet danced sore on the wrought-iron bordered dance floor.

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

Admission from 8 p.m.
