A guide to our SDF Weekender!

In two weeks, our winter Weekender will bring the heat! Here are a few things you need to know to prepare yourself for your visit. 

1. Tickets and wristband

If you have a Weekender Package, you can exchange your ticket for a wristband at the Paradiso Box Office by showing your ticket at the door, either printed or on your phone. All other tickets will just be scanned at the door. Can't find your ticket? Your ticket(s) will be downloadable 48 hours before the start of the event in your MySDF account.

2. Merchandize

At the festival, you can get our brand new Forever Weekender House Dance long sleeves and Clubbing Forever Tees! SDF merch will also be available in the webshop (after the festival).

3. Food
We are selling food during the House Dance Forever preselections and battle on Saturday and during Clubbing Forever on Sunday in the Paradiso basement, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Next to this, there are many good food option in the Leidseplein neighborhood.

4. Locations

For the SDF Weekender we are working with two location: Paradiso for the battles, clubnights, performances  and Clubbing Forever, and Foundation Amsterdam Hip Hop Centre for the workshops. Please note that the two locations are not close to each other, but easily reachable with public transport.

Paradiso: Weteringschans 6-8
Foundation Amsterdam Hip Hop Centre: Bijlmerplein 141-142

5. Keep your phone in your pocket!

At Summer Dance Forever, the music, vibe, and of course the dancers are always the main focus. Please help us to create the atmosphere you love so much and keep your smartphone or other devices for photography or video recording in your pocket or store them in a locker. This way you can ensure the best experience for yourself and your fellow visitors. We will serve you with the hottest clips on our YouTube and socials!  

6. Free lockers

At Paradiso, it is required to use the lockers for your bag(s). During our SDF Weekender they are free of charge for your convenience – if we keep the bags out of the way, there is more space to dance! Please note that we cannot store large bags or suitcases!

7. Waiting List & Reselling your tickets
Our waiting list system offers a safe way for you to buy or return ticket(s) for sold out events. For the SDF Weekender 2025, this applies to sold out Packages, House Dance Forever tickets and workshops. As soon as the packages or programs are sold out, you can either sign up for the waiting list and get notified when your requested ticket or package becomes available, or you can safely resell your ticket or package to the first person on the waiting list. In addition to the waiting list for specific programs and packages, you can now safely resell and purchase second-hand tickets via Ticketswap.
