Report: The Night Remains! (Home...)

In late 2020, the N8W8 R'dam in partnership with PIP The Hague launched the 6-week stream campaign De Nacht Blijft! (Home...) launched.

By bringing nightlife to people's homes every Wednesday to Sunday, the N8W8 R'dam drew attention to the dire state of affairs within the sector. Indeed, the COVID-19 crisis meant that the financial distress was high in the nightlife and live music sector, but the lack of spontaneous encounters and the discovery and experience of music also made itself felt in a big way.

The campaign kicked off on 04 November at WORM Rotterdam, and it took six weeks before PIP The Hague turned the cameras off on 13 December. In that time, 161 hours of music, talks and performances were programmed, we were live from 21 different venues, we collaborated with 18 event organisers and gave 156 artists a stage, all during this corona crisis!
