Top performance venues
St Jan Church, Maastricht
This historic church welcomes groups of all musical styles.
Bandstand Vrijthof, Maastricht
Performances at this bandstand on the popular Vrijthof Square, located in Maastricht’s pedestrian area, are always well received by shoppers and diners. André Rieu’s concerts usually take place here during the summer though, so if you would like to perform here, it is best to avoid travelling in July!

This imposing bandstand in the city centre is perfect for instrumental groups, attracts great audiences and is well worth the drive into Luxembourg.

Expert's comment
“Valkenburg and the South Limburg region offer the ideal destination for bands with popular programmes (as well as less experienced performing groups), who are looking to perform in a variety of venues, especially open-air locations. It is also easy to create a truly ‘international’ tour from this accommodation base in the Netherlands, due to its proximity to Belgium, Germany and even Luxembourg.”
