Rotown

Rotown is a performance venue in Rotterdam featuring multiple stages where live music happens almost daily. The interior has an informal layout with bar areas designed for people to linger and enjoy the scene.

The venue emerged in the decades after World War II as Rotterdam rebuilt its infrastructure. Protected as a municipal monument, it documents the city's architectural development during this reconstruction period.

Rotown hosts musicians from rock, pop, and alternative genres who shape Rotterdam's nightlife and music scene. Visitors encounter both established artists and emerging bands that define the city's contemporary sound.

Rotown is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport, with bus lines nearby. It is best visited in the evening or at night when most performances take place.

The building merges its status as a protected monument with its role as an active music venue, making it a rare example of successful preservation. This combination lets visitors experience history and contemporary life under one roof.
