Facts checked on 22 October 2026. Line-ups, prices, sold-out status and transport plans change, so confirm on the organiser page before you go.
It is a drum and bass night marking 30 years of Hospital Records, run across two areas. Area 1 (Hospital 30) lists Netsky, A.M.C. and Metrik, IVY, Nu:Tone with a History of Hospital set, Hoax B2B Waeys B2B SMG, and Stay Vaag, hosted by Ayah Marar and PVC.

The sources differ on the clock. Resident Advisor lists Friday 30 October, 23:00 to 06:00, promoted by Undivide, with a price range of 35 to 45 and no currency. Festivalfans lists Friday 30 October, 22:00 to 06:00, with the tiers above. A Mood Events page gives 31 October. Treat Friday 30 October as the date and confirm the time on the ticket page.
The Saturday 31 October Maassilo party runs from 14:00 to 23:00, 18+, over four rooms. Nest of Nightmares lists Amara, Blnk B2B Lieks, BØĘRY, Iosio B2B Nyra, Mit, Mr. Polska, SANTØS, Titi and Vieze Asbak. Devils Disco lists AAT, Benny Rodrigues, Bruv, Cici Daze B2B Daf, Dennis Quin, Job De Jong, Karim Soliman B2B Stefan Meser, Michel De Hey and Stef Davidse. Crime Scene and Screaming Souls carry further names, and no timetable is published. An Allevents listing says doors close at 21:00.
Festivalfans' overview article calls the main party sold out and lists a By Night afterparty at Now&Wow until 07:00 at €23.50. The Festivalfans event page, however, still links the €36.50 final tier. Check the ticket shop before travelling.
Aftersupper's Halloween 2026 runs on Saturday 31 October from 18:30 to 23:00 in the Gothic Laurenskerk. The programme is house, 90s and 00s hip hop and R&B and hits, with no named DJs yet, only "renowned DJs" and acts. Costumes are expected and everyday clothing is not permitted. Aftersupper's FAQ says no food is served unless the event info says so, lockers hold about two regular jackets, tickets can be transferred, and refunds or exchanges are not offered.
The party is contested. Hart van Nederland reported on 12 October that a petition by Protestants Nederland had passed 16,000 signatures; BNNVARA had reported 7,500 on 11 October. The church foundation says about 2,000 Rotterdammers attend and has not announced a cancellation. The Laurenskerk site still lists the 31 October event, there titled "Masquerade ball". The address also differs: laurenskerk.nl gives Grotekerkplein 15, Aftersupper gives Grotekerkplein 27.
Festivalfans lists Pussy Lounge XXL, a farewell edition marking 25 years of B2S, at Rotterdam Ahoy on 31 October from 14:00 to 00:00 with Mental Theo, Outsiders and Darkraver. It is sold out, with resale through TicketSwap. Music Of Our Desire also tracks Hi5 Halloween at BIRD and Halloween Madness at Baroeg but gives no dates.
