DE CEUVEL is once again being transformed into the perfect dance paradise where you’ll dance your legs off. With two rooms, we’ll make you shine! There’s plenty to enjoy, including: A Grand Five-Course Dinner, The Champagne bar, The Espresso Martini bar, The Oliebollen bar, Cosy fires, lots and lots of dancing, plenty of other characters and more!
One of our 500 oliebollen hides ‘The Golden Soybean’; if you find it in your oliebol, you’ll get enough bar tokens to see you through the night!
All night long, DJ Frits and Ben will be spinning very danceable records in our tent outside. In the café two Ceuvel Classics take the decks: first AJUMA takes us along on the cosmic transformation from 2026 to 2027! Then Rik Tan takes over the decks from legend Ajuma to lift the dancefloor to eclectic heights. Meanwhile, in the Metabolic Lab a line-up of Friends and Family of De Ceuvel is ready to go. Don’t be surprised if you see the DJs pouring your beers on the same night.

PROGRAMME:
NEW YEAR’S EVE // THE GRAND DINNER
The Grand Dinner at De Ceuvel is all about being together. We sit at elegantly set long tables and enjoy a five-course dinner accompanied by a variety of brews and bubbles. Let our chefs surprise you and head into the brand-new year with a solid base!
THE GREAT OLIEBOLLEN LOTTERY
To encourage you to make your way to Noord before midnight, we’re once again holding the “Great Oliebollen Lottery”, just like previous years. Between 21:00 and 00:00 we sell homemade oliebollen. Every oliebol is a lottery ticket, and if your oliebol contains the Golden Soybean, we’ll treat you to enough tokens to end the night somewhere between the rails on the square!
LINE UP:
AJUMA
Ajuma knows like no other how music can stir emotions. She is a passionate music lover with an ear for the surprising and the unknown. Her special talent for bringing joy to the dancefloor has kept her very busy lately, with gigs all over Europe. Wherever she plays, she leaves behind a warm and inviting atmosphere on the dancefloor. She blends genres into a recognisable sound that always carries a soulful undertone. She moves between deeper and more uplifting moments, and at the core of her sound is an endless love for (raw) percussion.
After Rex Club (FR), Kaiku (FI), Lowlands (NL), The Pickle Factory (UK), Sameheads (DE), DGTL (NL) and Doka (NL), the Utrecht-based DJ now comes to Café De Ceuvel. Expect indigenous rhythms from Africa, vintage disco gems and forbidden Arabic hedonism. Standing still is not an option.

RIK TAN
Rik Tan is a DJ with a distinct focus on world music in a club context. His sets move effortlessly between Cape Verdean rhythms, Brazilian influences, Afro, Latin and electronic dance music. That broad musical background translates into a recognisable style with plenty of swing and rhythm.
His selections feel playful yet considered, leaving room for surprise without ever losing the dancefloor. Rik Tan is known for his open musical outlook and his ability to bring different worlds together in a single set.

Dj Frits & Ben
They play everything except gabber house. And even that, just a little less. From house to hip hop and from disco to that one record you haven’t heard in years. Famous and known for all sorts of things, and that’s exactly why they’re so good. No fixed plan. Just good dancing. To really good music. Right?
METABOLIC: Friends & Family
De Ceuvel’s staff are bursting with talent! So we’ve decided to put ourselves in the spotlight. Tonight, our talented friends and family take the decks! We’re keeping it a surprise, so keep an eye on us to find out who’s playing!
