House of Bones is bringing together the alternative community for a one-day closet sale — and it's going to be a good one. We're talking 83 meters of secondhand fashion from people who actually have taste, band merch, vinyl, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind pieces that you just know were meant to end up in your wardrobe.

Whether you're coming to hunt for treasure, clear out your closet, or just spend a day surrounded by your people — this is the place to be.

Vendors, collectors, music lovers and fashion freaks all under one roof. What's not to love?

How can I pay the vendors?

We encourage you to bring cash as much as possible. Since these are private sellers, they might not be able to accept card payments. QR code payments might be possible but have proven to be a challenge for Dutch customers so bring cash to be sure.

The bar is cashless, so you pay with card there.

Psst — what if the Alternative Closet Sale was just the beginning? We're building the HOB community — a place where rockstars like you can scope out vendor drops before the doors open, buy and sell secondhand gems year-round, find musicians to start something with, and never miss an alternative event again. It's everything the scene is missing, in one place. Don't be the last to know — get on the list. 🖤
