De Helling is a well-established music venue located in Utrecht, known for its intimate atmosphere and focus on alternative and heavier music genres. Originally founded in 1985 as a squat, it transitioned into a legitimate venue in the early 1990s while retaining its independent spirit. Throughout its history, De Helling has hosted numerous national and international acts across genres including punk, hardcore, metal, and rock. The venue is situated within the former Werkspoorfabrieken industrial complex and maintains a reputation for supporting both emerging artists and established bands. Its relatively small capacity – approximately 500 people – contributes to the close connection between performers and audience members.
