our story

In 2011, an earthquake rocked Christchurch and wiped out the city’s entire nightlife industry. Before this, several world-class nightclubs had fostered a thriving underground electronic music scene within the four avenues.

When we opened Hide Club in 2019, our mission was simple: to help fill the void left by those events and provide a space for Christchurch’s renowned underground electronic scene to thrive once again.

As Christchurch’s only purpose-built nightclub, Hide Club is an all-inclusive safe space for those seeking quality live electronic music. Taking inspiration from iconic European nightclubs, Hide features a spacious dance floor, a quad-stacked L-Acoustics sound system, custom in-house lighting, and an immersive performance booth. The upstairs zone adds an intimate space perfect for techno sessions, private events, or green room use.

Over the past five years, Hide Club has become a cornerstone of electronic nightlife in Christchurch. We've proudly facilitated the growth of our music community, hosting diverse events like open decks nights, university club nights, morning raves, and live shows, among many others. This dedication has helped build a vibrant arts community, uplifting local talent and creating countless opportunities for artists to flourish.

In recent years, we’ve also opened our doors for private event hires, offering a unique space for birthdays and other celebrations. We've seen a tremendous rise in local and national talent, nurturing a network of creators who contribute to the energy and soul of Hide Club every weekend.

HIDE. SEEK. DANCE.
