Josh Baker is playing the iconic Gashouder in Amsterdam on October 25 from 14:30 to 23:00. Every DJ dreams of this room and he just made it his biggest show yet.
There are venues and then there is the Gashouder. And on October 25 2026 Josh Baker is playing it.
The Manchester born DJ and producer just announced that his upcoming Amsterdam show has been upgraded to the iconic Gashouder, running from 14:30 all the way through to 23:00. A daytime into evening show at one of the most revered venues in global electronic music. If you needed any proof that Josh Baker's rise is real and accelerating fast, this is it. In his own words, it is every DJ's dream to play this place. And he is doing it this October.
Who Josh Baker Is And Why This Moment Matters
Hailing from Manchester, Josh Baker has risen as a versatile DJ and producer, embodying the creative essence of the new wave of electronic artists. His fascination with house music ignited at 17, propelling him to shape his passion into a thriving career. In 2015 he curated the inaugural You&Me event, swiftly becoming a celebrated underground event coupled with the establishment of a far reaching music label.
Through his label You&Me Records, the cutting edge Hide and Seek Festival, and his SYNTHO production school, Baker is shaping the future of house music both in the UK and beyond. He is not just a DJ. He is an ecosystem builder and that level of thinking is rare at any stage of a career let alone in your twenties.
His 2026 bookings include Coachella, headline slots at Reading and Leeds, Creamfields, and an Ibiza residency at Amnesia. You and Me at Amnesia Ibiza runs every Thursday from 2 July to 1 October 2026, a 14 week takeover of the Terraza, the open air room widely regarded as one of the most prestigious DJ rooms on the island. That is not a supporting slot. That is a full season residency at one of the most iconic venues in club music history. The Gashouder announcement lands on top of all of that and it changes the scale of the conversation entirely.
Why The Gashouder Is Something Else Entirely
The Gashouder is a monumental event location built in 1902 by architect Isaac Gosschalk, located in the industrial area called Westergas in Amsterdam. The venue has a surface of 2500 square metres with a height of 14.5 metres and used to be a storage tank for gas. What was once industrial infrastructure is now one of the most breathtaking rooms in the world for electronic music.
The rise of techno in Amsterdam in the 90s, coupled with the newly renovated space, created the perfect storm for Gashouder to become globally synonymous with techno and house music. Electronic music was becoming an international sensation and Amsterdam had a foothold in defining the sound of early European dance music.
The iconic Dutch venue Gashouder has officially reopened after a period of closure and renovation, marking the return of one of Amsterdam's most distinctive event spaces and reinforcing Amsterdam's reputation as one of the world's leading destinations for club culture and electronic music. The fact that Josh Baker is one of the artists stepping into this freshly reopened space makes the October 25 show feel even more significant. This is not just a big room. It is a room with a history that runs through the entire story of European electronic music.
When you say techno and house in the Netherlands the first venue that comes to mind is Gashouder. If you love electronic music you must dance under the massive dome of the Gashouder at least once. On October 25 Josh Baker is giving Amsterdam the chance to do exactly that and the show runs from 14:30 through to 23:00, a full day into night experience under that legendary dome.
What This Show Means For Baker's Story
Baker himself has been clear about what this announcement means to him. Playing the Gashouder is not a routine booking. It is a milestone that every DJ in electronic music understands the weight of. The fact that he is headlining it on his own terms, with a show running from afternoon into night, says everything about where he is in his career right now.
Josh Baker has just had one of those years all DJs dream about. Bigger rooms conquered, more tickets sold, and stages shut down, all while building something that extends far beyond the music itself. The Gashouder is the next room. And on October 25 2026 it belongs to him.
Existing ticket holders who cannot make the new date can request a refund via the information sent to their email. Final tickets are nearly sold out so move fast if you want to be in that room.
October 25. Gashouder Amsterdam. 14:30 to 23:00. Do not miss this one.
