10 days off
10 days off is a club event in Ghent,Belgium and Amsterdam, Netherlands.
History
10 days off began in 1995 as a 10 day long Belgian celebration of techno music, and has since grown to be a yearly club event receiving over 25,000 people. "10 Days Off" (formerly Ten Days of Techno) and its Dutch counterpart "5 Days Off" is a feast for those who enjoy electronic dance music, up-and-coming artists, DJ's, and live performances. All this takes place in the space of several concert venues in the cities of Ghent, Belgium and Amsterdam,The Netherlands.
Some styles include house, electro, breakbeats, rock, drum 'n' bass, minimal, broken beats, nu-jazz, techno, funk, disco, electro-house and other hybrids.
In 1995, there was no alternative for the youth during The Famous "Gentse Feesten" (annual greatest event in Ghent). The organisation 5 voor 12,acting on the idea of Rudy Ackaert, started off with a small "trial" event on a venture into what would become one of the biggest techno events in Europe.
