Neushoorn is a magical place for pop culture in the heart of Leeuwarden. It provides a stage for talent development, both literally and figuratively. Its doors are open to creators looking to showcase their work, artists who feel at home in front of a wonderfully diverse audience and, above all, anyone who wants to be surprised or simply enjoy a great night out. With two concert halls, a café and performance space, rehearsal rooms and cultural production spaces, there’s something here for everyone in the region.
Grote Zaal (main hall)
Big yet surprisingly intimate, the Grote Zaal has three bars and a capacity of 700, offering everything you’d expect from a fully equipped concert venue while still feeling warm and welcoming. Whether you’re standing on the spacious balcony or right at the front of the stage, every concert feels incredibly close to the action. Sound and visuals are an experience in themselves, with state-of-the-art audio equipment and an impressive professional lighting system.
AA-Security Arena
This modern, multifunctional venue can be transformed for almost any occasion. Both the stage and the audience can be positioned in different ways. The entire space can be used as a dance floor or as a stage, while the wraparound balcony offers views of the arena from every angle. All the necessary lighting and sound facilities are available and, depending on the set-up, the arena can accommodate around 250 people.
