Amsterdam Music Festivals Overview

North Sea Jazz Festival 2013 - Music Festival in Amsterdam

Known for its laid-back citizenry and appreciation for the arts, it’s no wonder that Amsterdam’s music festivals are some of the cooler live performances in Europe. With all the romance and bombast of the city itself, these dance-heavy events add a spark of excitement to the already-bustling town.

Music festivals in Amsterdam usually take place in one of the city’s gorgeous parks, and are generally geared toward the time-honored European tradition of dance, electronica, and hip-hop, with gatherings like Pitch, Dance Valley, and the Bass Festival bringing together seasoned veterans and up-and-comers in the field of turntables and throbbing subwoofers. But not all of the city’s outdoor fests are geared toward fly kicks and hot wax – the nine-day Grachtenfestival showcases classical and world music, and includes performances on rooftops and along the canals, while the Roots Festival gives listeners a taste of crossover music from around the globe.

Being a city of zen-like cool, Amsterdam’s festival circuit does err on the kinder side of the spectrum; one rarely finds gangsta rap, heavy metal, or hard-drinking country at these open-air spectacles. But for those looking for a nice time, these music festivals are the place to find good vibes and fun people.
