It is cold. So very cold. We know. But here is another fact that can exist at the same time. This is the last weekend of January, which means we are moving closer to the next month, and spring is almost around the corner. Optimism is a choice. From parties to birthday cake and actually fun arts and culture moments, here are a few things to get up to this weekend if you feel like leaving the house.
Friday 30/01
XYZ with Lil’ Vic, Mr. Wix & Max B
One of the city’s favourites Max B is heading off to the country of the rising sun, so this Friday doubles as a farewell. Pull up to Murmur to send him off properly. Expect sexy selections, familiar faces and those warm murmur vibes.
The Sailor by Folkert de Jong exhibition opening
Kick off the weekend at the opening of The Sailor at Galerie de Schans with new work by Folkert de Jong. Come look at some art, people watch, sip a drink, and ease into the weekend with plenty of eye candy.
Trespassing: In the Face of 2026
Don’t mind if we do. Shameless, wonderful, and so Amsterdam. We all love to lurk. Peek through the curtains at Zeedijk 128 as Sander Breure & Witte van Hulzen stage a quiet and slightly unsettling performance about screens, faces, and contemporary loneliness.
Patta SS26 Launch
To celebrate the release of their new collection, Patta is hosting an event at their Amsterdam store. Expect music, food and the city’s finest, all under one roof.
Saturday 31/01
Salvo 3rd Birthday
We love a birthday just as much as the next person and especially when there’s cake involved. SALVO is turning three, so pop over and sweeten your day with a slice or two. Expect a massive birthday cake, good coffee and a few small surprises waiting in the raffle box.
Ike Melchizedek B2B Prance + Friends
Apparently, we are back to dancing, and per usual, The Gang is Beautiful. You know what to do. Bring old friends, make new ones.
TGIB’s Ike Melchizedek and Prance go B2B2B2B at Nachbar.
DARKAI pop-up opening
Explore DARKAI’s Regalia collection this weekend as DARKAI lands in Amsterdam and takes over the Glamcult Store. Come browse, linger, enjoy a cocktail, and go about your evening. P.S. Come early, as the first 50 get a little something extra.
Sunday 01/02
PEEL
Sunday dancing hits different, and that’s the point. PEEL returns to Garage Noord for a long and slow-burning session with Jephta, Cobahn, and Isabel Soto, plus live painting, light installations, and vegan food to keep you grounded.
Cinéma Cantine
Another Sunday, another movie. Cinéma Cantine is back this week with Lukas Dhont’s “Close”. Head over for a cozy dinner, get yourself a profiterole and a big glass of red, and enjoy the perfect winter evening.
Xx, Aa
