Every year in January, Rotterdam Ahoy transforms into the biggest pub in the Netherlands where music, friendship and conviviality come together. With performances by the biggest Dutch artists and spectacular shows, this event is a highlight for music fans.
What once started as a modest music event in an intimate setting has grown into a grand musical experience with millions of visitors.
