The Powerzone (closed) judgement report
3 star certification by Club Judge
De grootste club van Amsterdam is te vinden op een industrieterrein. Een verlaten fabriekshal is omgebouwd tot een club met internationale allure: The Powerzone. De club is verdeeld in twee area’s en heeft ook twee verschillende buitenruimtes
die tevens als rookruimtes dienen. Doordeweeks is The Powerzone vooral het decor van zakelijke seminars, fotoshoots en bedrijfsfeesten en in het weekend wordt de
locatie omgedoopt tot een dampende club, waar bekende events als Cocoon en Sexy Mother Fucker veel publiek trekken. Talloze nationale en internationale sterren hebben het podium betreden. Wat dat betreft is The Powerzone een unieke locatie
