Time Out says

What is it?

A cornerstone of the Amsterdam scene, the city’s top live music venue was once a church – and it’s in such high demand that it often hosts several events in one day.

Is it worth visiting?

For music lovers, this is a bucket list kind of destination. The main hall has a rare sense of grandeur, with multiple balconies and stained-glass windows peering down upon the performers. The smaller hall upstairs is a great place to catch new talent before the big time. Both are wonderfully intimate; bands feed off the surroundings, making for some special nights. 

Who has played there?

An easier question would be ‘who hasn’t played there?’. We’re talkin Adele, David Bowie, Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Dua Lipa and more.
