A themed live-show night. Curated local acts, projector visuals on every wall, and a sticker you can only get at the door.
Every night has a theme, a room full of people who went all in on it, and the best local acts we can find on one bill. Come for the music, stay because you made forty new friends in funny hats.
Musicians and visual artists from the city you're in. Every act gets a spotlight before the show, so you know who you're coming to see.
Animated type, generative loops and theme visuals projected across the room all night, built for each event from scratch.
Each event gets its own art, printed once. Come to enough shows and your laptop becomes the archive.
The first Mister Banger Collective night is Funky Hat Night. The weirder the hat, the better the night. Guests who match the theme get a discount at the door.
Pick the one you'd dress up for when you join the guest list. The most-wanted theme gets the next night.
A summer energizer. Espresso instead of shots, daylight instead of strobes.
A yearly showcase pairing every musician with a visual artist on one stage.
Astronauts, aliens and galactic travellers. Cosmic cocktails at the bar.
Show up as a hero from your favourite roguelike. Cursed relics, pixel swords and one more run, always.
Bring a bald cap or bring your own dome. Bald people are very welcome. Best shine wins, and the projector finds every forehead in the room.
Cowboy hats, line dancing and a saloon corner with cards on the table.
Pick a side, bring a cape. Secret identities optional, dramatic entrances encouraged.
Leis, loud shirts and fruity drinks. The projector turns the room into a sunset.
Wizards, fairies, knights and the occasional dragon. Glitter counts as magic.
Eye patches, treasure maps and a sea shanty or two between sets.
Come as your favourite character. Star eyes are basically required.
Costumes at full volume. Scariest look and funniest look both win.
An outdoor day party with water pistols, sunscreen and a DJ who can take a splash.
A smaller, chill night. Good music, good chats, no theme pressure.
Black shades, long coats and visuals that look like the room is buffering.
The Mister Banger Collective throws nights in Amsterdam and San Diego. Each city has its own crowd, its own local acts and its own run of themes.
Bar back rooms, after-hours cafés and creative spaces in Noord and West. Event #1 lands here first.
Where the collective started. Venues from North Park to the Gaslamp, run by our San Diego partner.
Join the list and you get the date, venue and lineup first, plus a vote on the next theme.
