Rens en Jaïr
A collision between poetry and punk. Hip-hop with humour, urgency and a healthy dose of rawness, about fatherhood, friendship and growing up. They grab you by the throat, but out of pure love.
- Kas Beijen

Karafaan
Hip-hop with brass, danceable grooves and untameable energy. Karafaan sweep you up in a whirlwind of Dutch lyrics and danceable grooves, somewhere between Typhoon and Khruangbin. Their caravan is setting off. Hop on.
Summer on Rooftop Square
From 25 June until the end of August, the rooftop will be open every Thursday until 21:00, with free live music. It can be reached via the large staircase on the outside of the building or by lift from the museum’s entrance hall. At the bottom of the rooftop, a kiosk with its own seating area also serves drinks and snacks.

In collaboration with GRAP
The rooftop music evenings are organised in collaboration with Stichting GRAP, the organisation for Amsterdam’s pop music scene. Every year, GRAP organises competitions, showcases and festivals. This gives Amsterdam-based bands and acts the opportunity to showcase their talent to the public, the media and the music industry.
