Since squatters took possession of this old trade union office at the beginning of the 1980s (and had trouble keeping out the anti-riot squad), Tivoli has changed a lot. Instead of improvised punk parties, this club’s programme now has performances by big alternative bands like Tindersticks, Kasabian and The National, as well as dance nights such as the nostalgia show ‘90’s Now’. Also legendary is the dancing night ‘Pop-O-Matic’ on Thursdays which is free for students. For 12 years this evening has been led by one single DJ, St. Paul, who plays anything from soul, pop and hip hop to indie rock.
