About
Melkweg represents pop culture in its broadest sense. This iconic venue hosts hundreds of concerts, club nights, music films, theatre performances, exhibitions, and multidisciplinary events, drawing nearly 540,000 visitors annually. Housed in the last remaining factory building along Amsterdam's canal belt, Melkweg has a rich history as a former sugar and milk factory. Within this historic venue, you'll discover two concert halls, a cinema, a multidisciplinary space, and an exhibition area, all available for independent or combined use.
Melkweg showcases established names alongside emerging talents, providing a platform for up-and-coming trends to reach a wide audience. The diversity in programming and audience, coupled with the various spaces and the unique location, has made Melkweg a unique and vibrant hub for years.
Dance and electronic music have a colourful history at Melkweg, where niche styles, subversive club nights, and the latest DJs find a home from the moment they emerge. Whether you're looking to dance the night away or experience groundbreaking live performances, Melkweg has it all.
