Location: Lausanne, Switzerland
Capacity: 1,800
Located in a former locksmith's shop in the heart of Lausanne, MAD Club first opened its doors way back in 1985 and has since grown into a 2,000-capacity space spanning five floors, four dancefloors, and even a restaurant. Jumping up seven places this year, the club has expanded and upgraded its 800-capacity, electro and house-focused second room, JetLag, with the addition of a new sound system and lighting. Alongside its chandelier floor and Turbosound floodlight, MAD Club's main room has been kitted out with a new LED screen and a kinetic light engine. The converted warehouse space has seen a huge array of international artists perform over the last year, including Bob Sinclar, DJs From Mars, Michael Grey, Offenbach, and Fatal Bazooka. MAD Club has also expanded its residents roster, which now boasts Igor Blaska, Fabian Air, Don Pepe, Vkee Madison, Nika, Kiff One, Miss Tyk, Othello, Marco Silva, Tony Big, and Juiceppe.
