Padre Guilherme is set to perform his first-ever Dutch show on January 30, 2027. The Portuguese DJ and Catholic priest, known for his unique fusion of techno and Christian liturgical elements, will take the stage at the HEMKADE venue in Zaandam as part of the new HEMKADE Presents event series.
The artist gained global recognition following a performance at the 2023 World Youth Day in Lisbon, where he played for a crowd of roughly 1.5 million people. This breakthrough transitioned him from religious settings to major electronic music stages, including appearances at Hï Ibiza, Medusa Festival, and Chile’s Zamna Festival. His set at HEMKADE will feature a diverse lineup, anchored by melodic techno producer Kevin de Vries. Supporting acts for the evening include Chris Avantgarde, Aaron Hibel, Mees Salomé, Ninsa, and Vero.
This event highlights a strategic shift for HEMKADE. Located on the waterfront near Amsterdam, the venue has operated as a prominent nightlife hub since 1994, previously hosting major industry names and production entities like Boiler Room and Intercell. Following extensive renovations in 2023 that expanded the facility to over 5,000 square meters, the site is now evolving into a self-curated programming space. Through the HEMKADE Presents initiative, the venue is taking a more direct role in shaping its own event calendar, building upon its legacy as a rental space to become an active curator in the Dutch club scene.
Tickets for the upcoming performance are currently available via the venue's official ticketing partner.
