    We had a great night seeing this fabulous new band and their support act - Ian Archr - an Irish solo singer/guitarist.

    We were a bit worried that not many people would turn up but as it was the place was packed and the music was great and everyone had a good time.

    Tickets cost 10E - but if you are lucky a nice friend might pay for you :)) I think you need to to buy a monthly pass to get tickets for gigs here. Check the website for more info.

    The Melkweg is known for discovering new bands and new musical talents.

    Never a dull moment in this place that is well equipped and smoothly running.

    But there's more at the Melkweg. The building also has rooms for dance, theatre, movie, photography and other media.

    Come as you are.

    With over 1000 performances of bands and DJ's in two concert halls every year, the Melweg is by far Holland's the most active club.
    The programme particularly features the latest rock and dance music, also many prominent bands and DJ's have made their debut here. The dance programs in Melkweg are always exciting and very crowded.

    Great place to go out. There is a dance and Pop arena. The dance part mostly plays rap and that type of music, whereas the Pop arena plays music like rock, pop and oldies. Melkweg is a spot where it's nice to look at other people, becasue there is really a variety in the sort of public it attracts.

    No code. Just wear whatever you like.

    Melkweg has several different rooms for music with live bands and dance parties. They also have a cinema showing a variety of films including cult classics. I went to the Melkweg for both a show, The Slackers, and a movie, Repulsion. I had a really good time and would recommend everyone check this place out!

  • It is Amsterdam's biggest multi-functional entertainment venue.
    The Melkweg, (Milky way) is not only very central, it also offers music, drama, movies, a weekend disco, a bar and a restaurant. Although this converted brewery looks huge, inside there are three smaller stages so avid fans can get close to their favourite band. The Melkweg is the main venue for The Amsterdam Roots Festival, an annual world music event in mid-June, with acts from Senegal, Sudan and elsewhere performing until the early hours of the morning. The annual music and writing festival, Crossing Borders is also held here, (one amongst five other local venues involved), and it's worth coming to Amsterdam for this every November.s

    Forthcoming events include the Amsterdam Dance Event in mid October.

    The Melkweg's Oude Zaal (Old Hall) is small but really great for concerts. Many international bands stop there, as did Finntroll, the Finnish troll-metal combo I went to see (chart-toppers in Finland, woohoo!). The concert was great even though fat keyboard player Trollhorn was numb out of a sore throat. I had a great night and thus had the opportunity to go on with the Scandinavian stuff (I was back from Helsinki).
    You have to pay for the subscription with your first, but it's only 2,50 euro.

    No dress code from what I've seen...but my judgement may be biased. ;-)
