Live Music in Amsterdam
Amsterdam's live music scene is one of Europe's most vibrant. From legendary venues like Paradiso and Melkweg in the heart of Leidseplein to underground haunts like Occii and Maloe Melo, there's a show every night of the week. The city has been a punk and hardcore stronghold since the squatter movement of the 1980s, and that DIY spirit still runs through its venues today.
