About On the Roof

Magical moments

When the sun goes down behind Central Station, warm sounds caress your ears, coming from a rooftop in Amsterdam-Noord. The spectacular setting and intimate atmosphere of our summer venue form the perfect conditions for artists to create magical moments in a dynamic interaction with the audience.

International flavors of Amsterdam

For over a decade, On the Roof has been a hub for Amsterdam’s vibrant music scene, hosting both local talents and international guests from June to September. From jazz to global sounds and improvised music, familiar names and new discoveries take the stage in intimate performances. What began as a passion-driven idea of bass player and composer Felix Hildenbrand has evolved into a beloved summer tradition, where you can discover new tunes, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and reconnect with friends.
