BKS25 — Coney Island x Skatecafe

We’re excited to share we’re teaming up with Skatecafe and present you a completely reimagined area for BKS25.

Skatecafe, in the offbeat Amsterdam Noord, strikes a balance between a club, music venue, and cultural hub — and at the same time feels somewhat like a playground for adults (name another club where you’ll find a soccer field, merry-go-round, halfpipe, restaurant and a bodega all under one roof!), all infused with a serious DIY and punk mentality.

So leave it to the Skatecafe team to completely reimagine our intimate lakeside area, Coney Island! And, above all, serve us with a serious program consisting of the best of the known and unknown. From the familiar to the upcoming – but always leftfield and fresh.

Discover the new Coney Island at Best Kept Secret 2025. Get to know the acts now below.
