Techno Clubs in Europe

By the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs poll, the highest-placed club in Europe in our guide is [UNVRS] in Ibiza, ranked #1 in 2026. Next come Ushuaïa Ibiza (#3) and Hï Ibiza (#4). The poll is a public vote, so big-room clubs tend to rank higher than small, strict ones.

Of the clubs in our guide in Europe, Drumsheds in London holds the most people, about 15,000. The smallest is Open Ground at around 600.

The longest-running club in Europe in our guide is ilMuretto in Jesolo, open since 1961. Pacha Ibiza follows, dating from 1973. Every club listed here still runs nights today.

Often not. FABRIK, fabric, The Warehouse Project, Berghain, Drumsheds, KOKO, Index, Amnesia Milano, Open Ground, Fuse and INPUT High Fidelity Dance Club do not allow photos inside, and some cover phone cameras with a sticker at the door. Check each club page for its own rule before you go.

Arrive sober and calm, in a small group or alone, and know who is playing. Dress plainly, usually in dark, comfortable clothes, and keep your phone away in the queue. Clubs with a selective door give no reason for a refusal, so it pays to read the door policy on each club page first.

Most techno clubs have no formal dress code, but dark, practical clothes and comfortable shoes are the safe choice. Some doors refuse suits, sportswear from groups, flags or glow wear, and a few clubs are strict about style. Each club page lists its own dress code where the club publishes one.
