The annual Top 100 Clubs poll is the definitive list of the best clubs on earth – from small in-timate venues to huge, large-scale temples to electronic music. Over 400,000 clubbers voted in 2015, with Brazilian club, Green Valley, regaining the No.1 spot from Space, Ibiza.
Above all, Top 100 Clubs is a celebration of the venues that underpin global electronic music culture, these dancefloors play an incredibly important role in shaping new sounds, scenes, and genres, hosting renowned resident DJs, rising new talent and huge international names alike, and creating cultural waves that reach beyond their walls.
This is the third year that Top 100 Clubs has been presented in partnership with leading beer brand Miller Genuine Draft. Miller are long-time supporters of electronic music and have been instrumental in the growth of Top 100 Clubs since launching the partnership in 2014 – specifi-cally in helping to raise awareness of the poll in new and emerging territories for dance music.
