Melkweg stands for pop culture in the broadest sense of the word. Hundreds of concerts, club nights, (music) films, theater performances, exhibitions, and multidisciplinary events attract nearly 540,000 visitors annually. Melkweg is located in the only remaining factory building on the Amsterdam canal belt: a former sugar and, later, milk factory. In the historic building, you will find two concert halls, a cinema, a multidisciplinary hall, and an exhibition space, which can be used independently or in combination. At Melkweg, established names stand alongside new talent, and emerging movements have the chance to reach a broad audience. The diversity in programming and audience, combined with the various spaces and the unique location, have made Melkweg a unique place for years.
