Upcoming Events in Amsterdam today

Amsterdam combines historic canals and cutting‑edge culture with a packed calendar of sport, music, theatre, and attractions, so there is always something happening across the city.

Top Amsterdam sports teams

Amsterdam has a deep sporting tradition, with football at its heart and other sports adding to the city’s year‑round calendar.

Whether you are in town for a big league fixture or a European night, there are plenty of opportunities to experience live sport.

AFC Ajax

AFC Ajax are one of Europe’s most storied football clubs, famous for their attacking philosophy and youth academy. Home matches are played at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam‑Zuidoost, where domestic league games and European fixtures create intense atmospheres that draw fans from across the Netherlands and beyond.

National football team and other events

The Johan Cruyff Arena and other stadiums in and around Amsterdam also host international fixtures, cup finals, and occasional major tournaments or exhibition games.

Alongside football, the city regularly stages running events, indoor sports competitions, and festivals that make use of arenas and multi‑purpose venues, giving sports fans a varied line‑up to choose from.

Top Amsterdam music venues

Amsterdam’s music scene ranges from huge arena shows to intimate club gigs, covering everything from pop and rock to electronic, jazz, and classical. Whatever your taste, you will find a venue and a neighbourhood that fits your plans.

Ziggo Dome

Ziggo Dome is one of Amsterdam’s premier indoor arenas, designed specifically with live music in mind and capable of hosting large‑scale tours by global stars. With its modern facilities and strong acoustics, it has become a staple stop for international pop, rock, and electronic acts touring the Netherlands.

AFAS Live

AFAS Live, located near Ziggo Dome and the Johan Cruyff Arena, is a mid‑to‑large‑sized venue that bridges the gap between club shows and full arena productions. It regularly welcomes touring bands, solo artists, and special one‑off events, making it a flexible space for a wide range of genres.

Paradiso

Paradiso, housed in a converted church near Leidseplein, is one of Amsterdam’s most iconic venues and a favourite among both locals and touring artists. Its distinctive architecture and multi‑level interior create a memorable setting for everything from indie and rock to experimental and electronic nights.

Melkweg

Melkweg, also close to Leidseplein, operates as both a concert venue and cultural centre, with multiple rooms hosting gigs, club nights, film screenings, and festivals. Its varied programme means there is almost always something happening, from emerging acts to established names.

Other notable venues

Beyond the headline names, Amsterdam is full of smaller clubs, halls, and seasonal outdoor spaces that host live music and festivals. From canal‑side stages to neighbourhood bars with regular gigs, you will find new acts and niche genres on almost any night of the week.

Top Amsterdam theatre tickets

Amsterdam offers a rich performing arts scene with productions in Dutch and English, plus many shows that rely on music, dance, or visuals and are easily enjoyed by international visitors.

You can choose from classic plays, modern drama, cabaret, comedy, dance, and family‑friendly performances across the city.

Major venues include venues such as Nationale Opera & Ballet for opera and ballet productions, DeLaMar Theater for plays and musicals near Leidseplein, and Internationaal Theater Amsterdam at Leidseplein, which hosts a mix of Dutch and international work.

These spaces combine long‑running shows with shorter seasons and festivals, so planning ahead helps if you want specific dates or particular seats.

Using SeatPick, you can compare tickets across different performances and venues, check availability for your preferred evening, and secure seats that match your budget without needing to search multiple ticket providers manually.

Amsterdam attractions tickets

Amsterdam’s attractions are a major reason visitors return again and again, from world‑class museums in the bustling city centre and historic canal houses to modern viewpoints and interactive experiences.
