What can you expect from Rapido?

Rapido uses Paradiso's distinctive main hall, with balconies surrounding the dance floor and space for shows and visual productions. The music typically builds from uplifting house towards harder circuit and peak-time sounds. Many visitors stay for almost the entire edition, so comfort is at least as important as appearance.

What should you wear to Rapido?

Sporty and sexy

A jockstrap, short sports shorts and high socks create a popular base. Add a harness if you want to make the look stronger.

Singlet or mesh

A singlet stays in place well while dancing and immediately creates a complete look. With mesh underwear or clubwear, you can create light layers that work well in a warm club.

Brands for a Rapido look

CELLBLOCK 13 suits a powerful sportswear look. LEADER offers jockstraps, harnesses and ID Party Singlets that can be combined into a recognisable outfit. Barcode Berlin also fits the European club style well.

Tickets, payments and lockers

Club Rapido uses mobile Paylogic tickets. The QR code must be shown at the entrance directly from MYORDER on your phone; according to the organisation, screenshots and printed tickets are not valid. For safe ticket resale, Club Rapido recommends using only the official Paylogic resale service.

All Rapido Events are cashless: at venues such as Paradiso, Melkweg and WesterUnie you pay by debit or credit card. Lockers at Paradiso are reserved on site through a QR system, for which you need a smartphone.

Practical tips for Paradiso

• bring a valid ID;
• check the ticket and resale information in advance;
• wear comfortable, broken-in shoes;
• use good music earplugs;
• drink enough water and take a break from time to time;
• plan your journey home or onward connection to an after-party in advance.
