Q-Factory is rightly one of the largest music-making centres in Europe. The building houses dozens of professionally equipped rehearsal and recording studios, ideal for both beginning and advanced artists. Every day, hundreds of musicians, producers, technicians and creatives work on their craft here - from singer-songwriters to symphony orchestras.
But Q-Factory is more than a workplace. For visitors, there is a dynamic programme of live performances, showcases, jam sessions, workshops and festivals. The stage is deliberately kept small so that each show feels like an intimate meeting between artist and audience. The programming is surprising and diverse. Think genres from jazz, indie and electronic music to world music and classical. Those looking for musical depth or new discoveries will feel right at home here.
For those who don't want to go home after a gig or studio visit, there is the in-house Q-Factory Hotel. The rooms are tastefully decorated, often with musical themes or a subtle nod to iconic artists. Here, you literally sleep above the rehearsal rooms and studios - right in the creative heart of Amsterdam. Ideal for a weekend of culture, inspiration or tranquillity in the city.
You can also visit the cosy Q-Café for a cup of coffee, a drink or a simple lunch. During the day, the café is a fine workplace or meeting place for local residents, artists and visitors. There are also regular performances or DJ sets, keeping the lively atmosphere tangible.
You can easily combine a visit to the Q-Factory with some cultural hotspots in Amsterdam East. Stroll through Oosterpark and enjoy nature. Or visit the World Museum to discover different world cultures.
