Europe, The Netherlands: ”AMSTERDAM CLUB DE SCHOOL IS CLOSING DOWN”

The venue, which has faced public criticism recently, cites COVID-19 as the reason.

Amsterdam nightclub De School has announced it is shutting down.

The club’s co-owner Jochem Doornbusch released a statement reported in RA citing the economic crisis of the coronavirus pandemic as the reason why the club cannot stay open.

He said: “The bottom line is that the debts are piling up” and that “the increase of the current COVID-19 numbers and the lack of prospects have forced us to end all the club and office contracts meaning the club will stop existing”. The adjoining bar, terrance and restaurant will remain in operation.
