On Thursday 9 July, Meent will transform into one large live music stage during Jazz op de Meent x North Sea Round Town. In the lead-up to the NN North Sea Jazz Festival, this collaboration brings an afternoon and evening packed with live performances to the heart of the city. Expect dozens of concerts, a vibrant atmosphere, and a unique opportunity to experience Meent in a completely different way.
From 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, live music will fill every corner of the Meent, from terraces and cafés to boutiques, concept stores and other unique venues along the street. With no fewer than 50 performances across 25 locations, the Meent will become a vibrant musical trail running through the city centre.
What makes this edition particularly special is the dedicated Jazz Shopping Evening. In addition to the regular Friday late-night shopping, all shops and boutiques on the Meent will remain open until 9:00 pm on Thursday evening.
This means you can not only enjoy live music but also browse and shop while jazz, soul and other live sounds create the soundtrack for the evening.
During Jazz op de Meent, performances will pop up in the most unexpected places. Concerts will take place inside shops and hospitality venues, as well as outdoors in public spaces.
