Zomerparkfeest
Enjoy four days of music, theater, and culture during the free Summer Park Festival in Julianapark.
The first day of the rest of your (student) life
Studying in Venlo is, of course, more than just studying. It's building up your home away from home and also outside of school. The city is just a 5-minute bike ride from all colleges away and for those who want some head space, you can be surrounded by greenery in just ten minutes.
But of course there're more! We'll give you a crash course into student life in Venlo.

House of Confetti invites Cuntdown at Zomerparkfeest
Cuntdown is the ultimate ballroom battle arena of House of Vineyard, where teams come together to compete, vogue, and conquer the ring. For this special showcase edition, Legendary Mother Amber Vineyard brings together the most impressive talents from the Dutch Ballroom Scene for an unprecedented show full of Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent. Who will dominate the ring? Let the battles speak for themselves! House of Vineyard, founded in 2014 by Amber Vineyard, is the first ballroom house in the Netherlands. Ballroom culture originated in New York as a safe space primarily for the Black and Latinx queer and trans community. Many members come from marginalized groups and have found their own chosen family within it. With House of Confetti invites Cuntdown, House of Confetti bridges the gap between the ballroom scene and the audience of Zomerparkfeest. This collaboration celebrates the power of self-expression, community, and performance. Turn up the cunt! This event takes place during Zomerparkfeest on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 9:00 PM in TEATRO and is free of charge.

Club Zer00s
After a sold-out first edition, a return was of course inevitable! Everything you used to have on repeat, everything you went wild to during your first nights out, everything you secretly still sing along to: at Club Zer00s, we play everything that mattered when you were still downloading mp3s from LimeWire and styling your hair with a cheap flat iron. From Rihanna to Tiësto, from Britney to Sean Paul, and from Snoooooop! to Def Rhymz – at Club Zer00s they all blast from the speakers again! Come dance under our own Umbrellas and show our life-sized :dancingbanana: that you and your friends still have it!

K-otic
Note: The presale for this concert starts tomorrow at 10:00 via this website. K-OTIC IS COMING TO VENLO! After the sold-out series '25 years of K-otic' at TivoliVredenburg, the band is adding another series of club shows! K-otic made music that is directly connected to the noughties for many people. Songs that instantly take you back to TMF, school parties, and singing along loudly without shame. What started at Starmaker grew into a permanent place in Dutch pop music of that era.

VroegZat
VroegZat brings nightlife back to the evening! Just as much partying, but nice and early so you can go to bed at a normal time, leaving you feeling fit the next day: win-win. Perfect for those in their thirties and forties who have kids at their bedside the next morning or sports obligations, but also for anyone who just feels like partying hard early.

Circus Circus
Is there a detective inside you? Are you good with puzzles and codes? Can you think logically? Then you might just solve the murder. A new unique concept: try to find out in teams of up to six people who the culprit is. Make sure you ask the suspects the right questions! A kind of Cluedo and Escape Room in one. The game is an evening-filling event and at least one team member must have a smartphone. Do you dare to take the challenge?The evening includes snacks (appetizers, not a full meal) and excludes drinks.Payment can be made per table.No discounts are valid at Murder in Maaspoort.

New Cool Collective
It all begins in 1993 in the Amsterdam Soul Kitchen, where Benjamin Herman and DJ Graham B take the stage together. While Graham B spins records, Benjamin plays. A unique combination. Eventually, this leads to the eight-piece New Cool Collective, with which the band has played countless times in leading clubs and festivals around the world, either in the regular 8-piece lineup or as a 19-piece big band. Additionally, New Cool Collective previously collaborated with the likes of Tony Allen, Mapacha Africa, Andrew Roachford, Jules Deelder, Typhoon, Guus Meeuwis, Matt Bianco, Thierno Koité, and Georgie Fame. Meanwhile, the creative engine is running at full throttle; the passion undiminished, and New Cool Collective is working on new material. Keep an eye out! As always, the focus will be on the dance floor. The motto remains unchanged: “Get the people moving” — both physically and mentally.
Time for relaxation
Effort for relaxation, that is also important. You can't be working all the time and have your nose in the books. Time for a night out in Venlo!
