Live music venues

Music venues in Amsterdam with the most gigs

Amsterdam splits its live music across a few kinds of room. Paradiso, a former church, and Melkweg, a former dairy, book bands and club nights near Leidseplein. Classical and new music has the Concertgebouw and the Muziekgebouw on the IJ. The big tours land in Zuidoost, at AFAS Live and the Ziggo Dome.

This list counts the concerts each venue has coming up and puts the highest number first. A building with several halls counts every one of them, so it says how much is on rather than how good the sound is.
