Vondelpark Open Air Theatre

Each summer, the Vondelpark's open-air theatre hosts top concerts and performances from the world of comedy, dance, music and kid's theatre. Located in the heart of the park, the theatre has offered free open-air performances to both Amsterdammers and visitors alike for over 30 years.

From 5 June till 28 August this year, the festival line-up once again features modern dance on Friday evenings, kid's theatre and jazz on Saturday afternoons, and comedy on Saturday evenings. Sunday is dedicated to music, first with the classical lunch-time concert series, followed by the popular Sunday afternoon line-up ranging from pop, rock, Dutch and world music. Each performance series includes both established headliners and opening acts by fresh, new artists, giving burgeoning dance, musical and comedy talent a chance to shine.

The theatre can seat hundreds of concert goers of all ages and offers plenty of standing room. Visitors can also tuck into the tasty tapas, sandwiches and refreshments dished out by Peperwortel in the catering pavilion, created by famous designer Piet Hein Eek.

Show goers wishing to reserve seats can do so for a small fee. Front-row reservations for disabled concert goers are free of charge. All performances are free, but a small contribution dropped into the VondelparkEuroBus collection-box is much appreciated.

Accessibility: Vondelpark is accessible by trams 1, 2, 3, 5, 12 and 16 which stop along Van Baerlestraat, Overtoom, Amstelveenseweg streets and on Museumplein Square.
