About

[offbeat amsterdam] is a growing guide to Amsterdam's underground and alternative scene. It lists events like experimental gigs, independent film nights, poetry readings, vokus, raves, community dinners, theatre performances, political talks, and unusual art shows.

The goal is simple: help you discover Amsterdam's non-mainstream side without having to track down countless websites, newsletters, or social media feeds. The event calendar is updated daily, and all listings are regularly verified for accuracy.

offbeat is neither neutral nor snobbish. It focuses on the independent, the DIY, the experimental, and the genuinely interesting. If it's authentic, unusual, and energetic, it probably belongs here.
