With its top-level DJ bookings, genuinely impressive open-air mainstage area, festival-standard production values, and smart integration into the local natural environment, Laroc Club near Valinhos in São Paulo state continues to put the super into superclub. Rising steadily through the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs chart since its first appearance in 2017, the venue has styled itself as a festival experience within a club, and it makes the most of the gorgeous weather, glorious sunsets and connection with nature that its outdoor setting provides.
On the decks, top class EDM DJs regularly entertain a mix of dedicated locals and clued-up visitors, with appearances in 2024 from Tiësto, James Hype, Steve Aoki, John Summit, Meduza, R3HAB, Gorgon City, Mochakk, Alok, Steve Angello, CamelPhat, Yotto, Kasablanca, Vintage Culture, and Peggy Gou. Looking forward to the rest of 2024, the club remains committed to its strategy of booking big names that don’t visit Brazil very often. “Additionally, we intend to continue with some labels that were successful at the club,” the Laroc team tells us, “such as Spektrum, a night focused on psytrance, and Ame Laroc Festival in 2025, and to return with Laroc Guarujá, a club of the brand located on the coast of São Paulo.”
