Concerts and gigs

Amsterdam is a true music city, and its music festival agenda has something for every taste. There are concerts, gigs and recitals happening every night, with everything from symphony orchestras and mega rock concerts to sweaty jam sessions in underground jazz clubs. Expect to find festivals dedicated to instrumental surf music and traditional Dutch folk, a cello biennale, experimental and new music, outdoor hip-hop extravaganzas and a lot – and we mean a lot! – more.
