Timetable
Pre-party

On Friday August 22 there will be a free pre-party at Slachthuis! We’ll be getting into the mood with a hefty dose of noise rock and a chaotic platter on the menu: the long-unawaited reunion show of Amsterdam’s most obscure stud from the stable, Blafpaard; the fast-rising and utterly unpredictable young oddbirds in white shirts with ties and two drum kits, Grote Geelstaart; and the Belgian heavy-hitting demolition poetry of Hamers. 📍Rockplein 6, Haarlem


Post-event drinks
After ECHT!’s set at Complexity Fest on saturday, the night isn’t over just yet. From 23:00 onwards, we invite you to head over to the Anti-Bar, just across the street from Patronaat. It’s the perfect spot to grab a drink, catch up with friends old and new, and talk through your favorite festival moments.📍Zijlstraat 21, Haarlem

Lockers
It is not allowed to bring coats or bags larger than A4 size beyond the locker area. Using the free Patronaat Wi-Fi, you can easily claim a medium or large locker online or via the QR codes in our foyer. Medium lockers can easily hold two coats and a small bag. Bringing more items, like a helmet or backpack? Then rent a large locker. Please note, there is a limited availability of large lockers. Storing vinyl in them is at your own risk.


A locker will be assigned to you, accessible throughout the day and evening via a link sent to your email. Easily share the locker with others through WhatsApp or email, so everyone can access their belongings whenever they want. Heading home? Just press 'Open and go home' to make the locker available for another visitor! No phone? No problem, our staff will be happy to assist you!
Food and drinks
At Complexity Fest you won’t go hungry. Two amazing caterers will keep you fueled: ABSEA Foodtruck brings fresh, colorful streetfood with a comfort twist, while Eef & Lien serve up vibrant, plant-based dishes full of flavor. All options are vegetarian or vegan!

Do's and Don’ts
Be kind to yourself and others, but also to your ears! Bring ear protection or purchase earplugs from us in the foyer or at the bars. Only our smoke machines are allowed to smoke indoors, and unfortunately, professional cameras cannot be brought in without accreditation. Check out all the Patronaat house rules here. Got questions? Check out the answers to the most frequently asked questions at Patronaat.nl or ask your question by replying to this email.

Want to catch up?
To ensure that both the artists and your fellow visitors can enjoy the show as much as possible, we kindly ask you to have conversations before and after the acts, or to take a seat in our foyer!

Hop on your bike!
We encourage our visitors to leave their cars at home and opt for public transport, walking, or biking instead. A free, supervised bike parking area is available at Hortusplein in Haarlem, behind the Jopenkerk. If you still plan to drive, there’s a parking garage right across from Patronaat. For those arriving by public transport, Patronaat is just a 10-minute walk from Haarlem Station, and buses 2, 3, 73, 81, 300, and 340 will bring you close to the venue.

Lastly…
At Patronaat, we strive to offer all visitors a safe, accessible, and above all, fun experience—a place where you can be yourself and express your creativity. Input and tips from our audience are indispensable for this. Do you see or experience something during this show that you think could be improved or done differently? Or would you like to share an idea or experience with us? Share it with us, confidentially and anonymously if desired, via inclusie@patronaat.nl.

Have fun at Complexity Fest 2025!
