Closure of Opium
Contacted by The Independent Opinion, Amine Britelthe manager of the club, then explains: “Opium has always been a club where we have brought an incalculable number of electro artists. For example, one of the first dates ofAvicii in Europe and the first in France took place at Opium. And that was the case for several artists like EDM, En Diablo…”
The establishment wishes to mark the occasion with a final “Made in Opium” evening. It will take place on Saturday January 28, 2023 with, in particular, guest surprises announced by the club.
Magma is coming
But the rest will only be short-lived. From February 3 and 4, 2023, the premises will welcome the brand new club. Amine Britel’s new concept remains at the same location as Opium at 20, rue Denfert Rochereau in Toulouse. The manager foresees a complete change:
We’re closing because we’re changing format, name and artistic direction. And the economic model of Opium is no longer adapted to the current market. Magma is going to be a little more open format with a bit of everything, the decoration changes, the artistic direction changes, but the place remains a nightclub”.
Meet on February 3 and 4 to discover this new cultural place in Toulouse.
