THE AGENDA: where to be in November

Post-ADE blues? Not on our watch! Just because the strobes have faded doesn’t mean the party’s over. We’ve lined up just the best gigs to keep the momentum going well into November. Outside, it’s getting cold, but inside, it’s full-throttle chaos (the good kind 😉). This is when the nights stretch long, the crowds press close, and every beat feels like a lifeline. Fully in your feelings? Or fully on the rave train? November has concerts for every mood: heartbreak ballads, full-blown pop anthems, and even some serious groove.

TicketSwap’s monthly event highlights series, THE AGENDA, has you covered on the spiciest events across Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Eindhoven, and beyond.

Louis Cole & Metropole Orkest

sob., 29 lis, 20:15 • Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, NL

Louis Cole & Metropole Orkest    

To set the scene for you: imagine funk meets full orchestra. LA multi-instrumentalist Louis Cole (yep, the genius behind Knower and collaborator of Thundercat) brings his wild blend of electrofunk, humour, and heart to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, backed by the legendary Metropole Orkest. It’s the kind of show that flips from jazz club to dancefloor to cinematic dream, and it all happens in one night.

Thuishaven w/ Emvae & Moxes 5HRS

niedz., 30 lis, 13:00 • Thuishaven, NL

Thuishaven w/ Emvae & Moxes 5HRS 

This one’s built for the dancers. Emvae and Moxes take the reins for a 5-hour house masterclass. Expect deep cuts, slick blends, and a floor that won’t sit still. But that’s just the start: Irish selector Cromby goes b2b with rising talent D Stone for a set that promises bounce, bite, and bass in all the right places. Add in groove queen Laura Meester and the ever-versatile Estrella, and you’ve got a lineup that’ll carry you from early afternoon to final track.

Ten Years of GALA x Rush Hour

pt., 28 lis, 22:00 • Lofi, NL

Ten Years of GALA x Rush Hour

Two icons, one night, and a whole lot of vibe. To celebrate a decade of dance, GALA crosses the North Sea to team up with Amsterdam’s own Rush Hour for a proper anniversary takeover at Lofi. Expect two rooms of expertly curated energy: Marcel Dettmann digs deep for a rare house set, Peach and Pearson Sound go b2b, and Richard Akingbehin brings that Refuge Worldwide spirit straight to the floor. Over in the Colorfloor, Prosumer and Antal serve up timeless house cuts and soulful burners until the lights say otherwise. 

Nachtcollege

sob., 22 lis, 23:59 • Paradiso, NL

Nachtcollege

Nachtcollege returns to Paradiso for another night that’ll test your stamina. What started back in 2012 as a student party in a small Amsterdam bar has grown into one of the Netherlands’ biggest electronic nights. And let’s just say it’s showing no signs of slowing down. The line-up’s still under wraps, but if history’s any guide, it’ll be a heavy mix of established selectors and next-gen talent.

Tom Odell

pon., 3 lis, 19:00 • Ziggo Dome, NL

Tom Odell  

Sometimes you just need a good cry, and Tom Odell delivers. The Brit piano poet returns to the Ziggo Dome with a set full of heartbreak anthems and goosebump moments. From the raw ache of ‘Another Love,’  to the quiet devastation of ‘Heal,’ and the haunting beauty of ‘Black Friday,’ this one’s for singing loud, feeling deeply, and maybe ugly-crying in public. 

Lady Gaga: The MAYHEM Ball

niedz., 9 lis, 20:00 • Ziggo Dome, NL

Lady Gaga: The MAYHEM Ball  

The queen of spectacle returns. Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM Ball takes all the drama of her iconic Super Bowl set and turns it into a full-blown stage takeover. We’re talking lights, latex, and theatrical chaos – in true Gaga fashion. From roof-raising bangers like ‘Abracadabra,’ ‘Judas,’ and “Bad Romance” to raw, spine-tingling ballads that remind you exactly why she’s in a league of her own. This isn’t just a concert, it’s Gaga in her final form.

Frenna

sob., 29 lis, 19:00 • Ziggo Dome, NL

Frenna  

Nobody brings the crowd in like Frenna. Raw, real, and unmistakably Dutch, his sound blends hip-hop heat with emotional weight. And live, it hits even harder. Get ready for a run of the hits you already know by heart, delivered with sharp lyricism and smooth, street-smart swagger. It’s personal. It’s powerful. And when Frenna’s on stage, the line between artist and audience disappears.

Simply Red: 40th Anniversary Tour 2025

pt., 14 lis, 19:00 • Ziggo Dome, NL

Simply Red: 40th Anniversary Tour 2025  

Prepare yourself for 3 nights of class, emotion, and vocal mastery. Mick Hucknall leads Simply Red through 40 years of hits: ‘Holding Back the Years,’ ‘If You Don’t Know Me by Now,’ ‘Stars’ – expect nostalgia with a touch of the present, delivered with that unmistakable voice that still turns hearts. Smooth, soulful, and timeless. This is legacy in motion.

That’s a wrap on November’s highlights. Now lock in your tickets (if you haven’t already) and make every night count. For sold-out shows and golden second chances, you know where to go: TicketSwap.
