From November 13 to 15, Madrid became the global capital of new club culture as Jägermeister Night Embassy landed in the city for the first time. For three nights, music, community, and creative freedom merged into a playground where the local scene could reimagine itself without filters, without borders, and with full artistic autonomy.
In short, a living lab for nightlife, a space built for experimentation, dialogue, and collective expression. XCEED had the pleasure of being part of Night Embassy Madrid first-hand (not only as ticketing partners but also as music lovers), so here’s our recap!
Thursday w/ Casa Pepa: Opening With A Double Vision
Night one was curated by Casa Pepa, with an opening night deeply rooted in Madrid’s castizo identity but completely reimagined for the new generation. The collective, known for blending the city’s traditional urban spirit with new club culture, curated a night with artists and residents such as Popi, Brava, Poniboy, Lucía Reina and L0rna. A blend of electronic, reggaeton, trap and everything in between was delivered, true to Casa Pepa’s identity.
The Creative Encounters kicked off with Challenges of Nightlife Safety, featuring voices from Fabric London, Karne Kulture, and more. A necessary conversation on building safer, more inclusive nightlife ecosystems. Meanwhile, the Expression Stations started off with Kura, Valium, Cirenia and Keperezaxiko added nail art, tooth gems, make-up and custom-fit DIY, turning the venue into a living canvas.
Friday w/ Enigma: Protecting The Dolls
Friday night was in the hands of Enigma, bringing their signature vision: a club without labels. Known in the Madrid underground for their queer programming and sassy identity, the collective curated a night that showcased the essence that was so needed in the Spanish capital. Local perfectas such as Olvido and Fukcnormal joined internationals like u.r.trax, building a narrative within genres such as house, funk, groove and more.
Nítido led the talk this time with a conversation on documenting and protecting the memory of the nightlife scene. And workshops such as the experimental dance by Héctor Fuertes dded new layers of meaning to the night.
Saturday w/ Antídoto: Closing With The Hottest Vibes
On the final night, the unmissable of every Thursday in the city arrived. Antidoto Club put the cherry on top by merging bass, UK-influenced sounds, Latin-club, funk, reggaeton with Shifa Ligero, Tiffany Calver, founders Yosef and Diego Armando, Marcelo Pantani and the voice of Simona, moving confidently between scenes, genres, and identities.
On the educational side, Karne Kulture returned for an important session on real safety protocols, tools, and actionable frameworks, insisting that safe club culture requires ongoing responsibility.
A New Blueprint for the Night
Night Embassy Madrid felt like a step ahead for the nightlife we want: safer, more expressive, more collaborative, and deeply rooted in local identity.
Powered by Jägermeister, Night Embassy has travelled across the world since 2019, adapting to each city while championing its essence: freiraum — free, creative space for communities to thrive. Madrid embraced that vision with full force.
Night Embassy’s message was loud and clear: the night belongs to everyone, and everyone gets to define their own version of it.
