Oosterpoort, Groningen (NL)

THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT
SUPPORT ACT: TBA
Groningen is nationally known as the “Metropolis of the North” and as “Martinistad” referring to the Martini Tower.
Although Groningen is not a very large city, it does have an important role as the main urban centre of this part of the country, particularly in the fields of music and other arts, education, and business. The large number of students living in Groningen also contributes to a diverse cultural scene for a city of its size.
Groningen’s nightlife depends largely on its student population. Its cultural scene is vibrant and remarkable for a city of its size. In particular, the Grote Markt, the Vismarkt, and the Poelestraat and Peperstraat are crowded every night of the week, and most bars do not close until 7 in the morning. Between 2006 and the present, Groningen was elected “de beste binnenstad” (the best city centre) of the Netherlands.
