A night out in the middle of nowhere...

Since I don't live in a (big) city, and have a slightly more alternative music style my night out is probably different from most of the other students. If you enjoy more alternative music varying from heavy metal to mellow rock, the Xinix is the place to go. 

Location

The Xinix is located in Nieuwendijk next to the exit of the A27, and therefore easy to reach. The building itself is rather new and quite modern, high tech acoustic isolation (no sound "leaks"  outside the building) , lighting, sound systems etc. basically everything you need for great concerts!

Music

As I mentioned in the introduction, the Xinix offers a large variety of music. But one of its main goals is to give upcoming talent a place to perform their gigs, in order to establish their name or simply to practice.

Nevertheless there are many famous (international) artists or famous cover bands who perform in the Xinix every now and then. The combination of new talent with currently famous bands leads to an interesting show and audience.

"Hot Spots"

One of the coolest things of going to a concert in the Xinix is the stage on which the artists perform, the stage is merely a meter higher than the hall the audience is in, there are no fences or anything in between. Thus creating an open atmosphere which really improves the contact between artist and audience.

If the dancing wears you out, you can simply head to the lounge in which you can lay back on confortable sofas whilst following the concert via one of the many tv screens hanging from the ceiling. Of course the lounge has its own bar.

Last but not least, the smoking area... Whether you are a smoker or not, the smoking area is still one of the coolest places to be. Since the smoking area is basically a huge balcony within the concert hall, thus providing you with a great view both on the band as well as on the audience.

Concluding

If you like alternative music and want to have a good time, the Xinix is definitely the place to be.
