ABOUT DAMAGE PARTY
DANCE | CRUISE | PLAY
Welcome to Damage Party—where the worlds of dance and fetish collide in an electrifying fusion of music, freedom, and exploration. Since its inception in as the main event of Amsterdam Leatherpride, Damage has grown into a powerhouse of steady house beats, international DJs, and a thriving, inclusive community.
Founded by Tony, Nelson, Jeroen (Mister B), and Michael (Eagle Amsterdam), the mission was simple: to create a fetish party open to all—a vacuum where everyone, from seasoned players to first-time explorers, can dance, cruise, and play in a judgment-free atmosphere. Today, Tony leads the organization, while Jeroen is the mastermind behind its bold, post-apocalyptic aesthetic.
