Gasolina Boiler Club at C12: every 2nd Saturday

Some parties need announcing. Others have simply become an appointment. Gasolina belongs to the second category: the Brussels collective no longer throws one-off nights, it runs a monthly residency at C12, every 2nd Saturday of the month.

One motto, in neon above the dancefloor: no hay perreo sin Gasolina.

Boiler Club: the DJ steps into the crowd

The Boiler Club format is Gasolina’s DNA. No raised stage, no distance: the booth sits in the middle of the room, dancers surround the DJ, and everything revolves around the light ring of C12. Reggaeton, perreo, dembow — and a community that recognises itself month after month.

Next date: Saturday 12 September 2026

The residency follows a rhythm that is easy to remember: the 2nd Saturday of every month. After the August edition, the next Boiler Club lands on Saturday 12 September 2026 at C12. The line-up is revealed in the weeks before, on the collective’s official channels.

The rule of thumb: 2nd Saturday of the month, C12, doors at 11pm. The rest is sweat.

Social Club: the collective’s other face

Gasolina runs on two formats. Alongside the monthly Boiler Club at C12, the Social Club roams: one Saturday a month, in a different historic or iconic Brussels venue every time, for 300 to 500 people only. Closer, warmer, same heat.
