We thought it would be more fun to give you something you can choose.
So instead of one fixed plan, here are a few concerts that all feel special in their own way; different moods, different nights, but each one something to really look forward to.
Pick the one that speaks to you most. We don’t think you can really go wrong with any of them 🙂
Apparat
Thursday, February 5 — Paradiso (Amsterdam)
From melancholic techno to orchestral pop ballads, Berlin-based producer, composer and performer Sascha Ring, better known as Apparat, effortlessly transcends both the dancefloor and the concert hall. Whether through his solo work or as one half of Moderat, his music is defined by elegant, nuanced layers and melodies that linger long after the final note.
Six years after his Grammy-nominated album LP5, Apparat returns in early 2026 with a brand-new album and live band tour. On A Hum Of Maybe (released February 20, 2026), he further refines his signature blend of modular textures, intricate electronics and unmistakable vocals.
An intimate and emotionally rich live experience at one of Amsterdam’s most iconic venues.
Christian Löffler
Tuesday, February 10 — TivoliVredenburg (Utrecht)
German producer Christian Löffler operates at the intersection of deep house and minimal techno, creating music that feels both melancholic and uplifting. Inspired by nature, his sound resonates as much with the body as with the soul.
His upcoming album Until We Meet Again (early 2026) was created together with Swedish singer Adna and a classical quartet (violin, viola, cello and piano). For this special performance, both Adna and the quartet join Löffler on stage, presenting new compositions alongside reworked versions of earlier material.
Where club music meets chamber music — a truly unique live show.
Caiiro
Saturday, March 14 — Parallel (Amsterdam)
On March 14th, Parallel hosts a special headline show by Caiiro, one of South Africa’s most influential house music exports.
Renowned for his immersive, culturally inspired sound, Caiiro blends deep, afro and melodic house with influences drawn from ancient history and global traditions. His acclaimed album Pyramids and viral track The Akan have resonated across major electronic music stages worldwide, while his collaboration with Adam Port on Your Voice became one of the biggest house releases of the year.
After touring over 30 countries across five continents, Caiiro continues his rise with his 2024 self-titled album Caiiro, which surpassed one million Spotify streams within its first month.
An unforgettable night on the dancefloor in Amsterdam.
Max Cooper – 3D/AV Live
Thursday, May 7 — Paradiso (Amsterdam)
Electronic composer, artist and biologist Max Cooper has spent over 15 years exploring the boundaries between music, science and visual art. Holding a PhD in computational biology, Cooper uniquely bridges academic research and electronic composition. He was the first contemporary electronic artist to perform in Athens’ ancient Acropolis Theatre and among the first musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.
On his latest album On Being, Cooper weaves together thousands of anonymous audience quotes, exploring what he describes as “the desperate experience of being human.” During his immersive 3D/AV live show, these themes unfold through hypnotic techno and electronica — introspective, intense and deeply moving, yet still connected to the dancefloor.
A powerful audiovisual experience at Paradiso.
