About Addiction Nightclub

Addiction Nightclub at The Modern Hotel is Honolulu's most talked-about club, delivering an electronic music experience to the Pacific that competes directly with the world's leading nightclubs. The 800-capacity venue benefits from the hotel infrastructure that surrounds it — exceptional service, premium hospitality, and a production budget that funds a sound and lighting system genuinely comparable to the best in Las Vegas or Ibiza. Programming focuses on house and EDM, drawing international DJs who would not historically have considered Hawaii a viable touring destination, with Addiction having changed that calculus entirely. The venue's Waikiki location means the crowd is exceptionally diverse — locals, tourists from across Asia and North America, and travellers specifically in Honolulu for the nightlife — creating a uniquely cosmopolitan atmosphere on the Pacific.

History

Addiction opened in 2012 at The Modern Hotel and transformed expectations for nightlife in Honolulu almost immediately, demonstrating that a Pacific Island city could support a genuine world-class electronic music club. Its success catalysed broader investment in Honolulu's late-night economy and established the city as a destination for electronic music fans travelling through the Pacific.
