Kortrijk Discotheque The Fly off to a good start

The opening of the new disco in Kortrijk, on the industrial site of a former window factory, is an instant hit. It is already full by 10pm. And people just keep pouring in.” We want to try to attract an audience from the 80s and 90s. So I also think that it will be that target group that we will see tonight’, says co-owner Hannes Catanzaro.

The demand is great

A daring venture or a calculated risk. The discotheques have had a difficult time and many are no longer left in West Flanders. The Kortrijk residents are already sounding enthusiastic. ‘We notice that the demand is very high, especially for young adults and adults. In Kortrijk there is nothing left for that target group to go to. You have the ‘Street’ for the youth, but for adults something is wrong at the moment. And that’s what we want to respond to today,” said Catanzaro.

The new dance tent is a 4-month pilot project, but the owners hope to have a permanent place after that period.
