Like its close neighbour Paradiso, Melkweg (meaning milky way, it was once a milk factory apparently!) is a music venue with a diverse and constantly surprising line up.
Amadou and Miriam in the Max hall - Melkweg
Having been renovated not too long ago it now houses two stages – Oude Zaal and The Max – both of which have plenty of room for dancing as well as surrounding balconies for slightly more sedate viewing! Not far from Leidesplein you can find plenty of places nearby to grab a bite to eat before heading to Melkweg for the latest pop act or discovering a new act from the world music scene.
Ticket prices vary depending on the act of course but you can normally snap up a bargain – like Paradiso you have to also buy a temporary membership when you get a ticket.
As well as visiting acts it also holds regular dance nights. You can find out more at here
