THE AGENDA: where to be in January

If you’re kicking off the year with a resolution to take it easy… good luck with that. In this neck of the woods, January’s not about detoxing. It’s about carrying that dancefloor momentum into the new year. And coming back even stronger. While everyone else may be resetting with yoga and matcha, we’re recharging our batteries with loaded line-ups and plenty of electrolytes.

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

VWAB presents Project One

3.–4. Jan. • Brabanthallen, NL

VWAB presents Project One

Hardstyle is having its moment, and Project One is here to prove it. Get ready for a fierce lineup featuring legends like Headhunterz, Wildstylez, Noisecontrollers, Atmozfears, and Bioweapon. Expect booming kicks and crowd energy so high it might just knock your resolutions off track. With Tn’t, Sound Rush (live), Max Enforcer, Pavo Pavo, Zany (live), and MC Villain rounding out the line-up, this is your once-a-year dose of pure, euphoric chaos. If 150+ BPM is your love language, don’t sleep on this!

Colyn [5HRS]

Fr., 23. Jan., 22:00 • Lofi, NL

Colyn [5HRS]

Not all heroes wear capes. Some just play five-hour sets that bend time and space. Colyn is back at Lofi for a marathon journey through melodic techno, deep euphoria, and cinematic builds that’ll leave you wanting more. No interruptions, just flow. If your ideal night out involves deep rhythms and getting lost in the moment, this one’s for you.

Franky Rizardo presents More To Life

Fr., 16. Jan., 20:00 • Ziggo Dome, NL

Franky Rizardo presents More To Life

House heads, gather 'round: Franky Rizardo is back with More To Life, his personal imprint and event series that turns the decks into a spiritual experience. It’s all about immersive grooves, rolling basslines, and a vibe that’s been curated with real intention, the kind that pulls people together and keeps them locked in. Intimate in energy but big in sound, this one’s made for dancers who don’t mind losing themselves (metaphorically) in a big venue.

RAYE - THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC

Di., 27. Jan., 20:00 • Ziggo Dome, NL

RAYE - THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC

“WHERE THE HELL IS MY HUSBAND?” – the question we all shout in unison while singing along with RAYE. Get ready to lose your voice and find it again in the chorus of Escapism, because RAYE is bringing her This Tour May Contain New Music to Amsterdam. She’s stepping into her main pop-girl era with a tour that is on everybody’s radar. From the raw emotion of “Oscar Winning Tears” to the instant classic “Prada,” this show is stacked with the tracks that have shaped the dancefloors of 2025 and before. You’ve screamed her lyrics in the club, now it’s time to hear them live – and louder.

Sober

So., 11. Jan., 15:00 • Parallel, NL

SOBER

Want to enter a realm of proper tunes and pure connection? Look no further than Parallel. They’re throwing another edition of SOBER, where the vibes are high but the ABV is zero. I-RO, JP Enfant, and Julia Mira will hold it down in the club with heady, bass-driven sounds, while the ambient room offers a softer landing with dreamy sets by Loma Doom. Whether you're sober curious or just want to try something new this Jan, this one’s for you. 

Alfa Mist

Mi., 28. Jan., 20:30 • Paradiso, NL

Alfa Mist

London’s genre‑blurring maestro Alfa Mist brings his jazz‑meets‑hip‑hop magic to Paradiso. Piano, beats, and storytelling that shifts from introspective to uplifting in a heartbeat. Alfa’s knack for fluid improvisation always keeps you locked in. He’s been mixing jazz, hip‑hop, and neoclassical colours since Nocturne, and his live shows are all about tuning into your feelings. If that’s what’s calling you this winter, then we suggest leaning into it.

That’s a wrap on January’s highlights. Now lock in your tickets (if you haven’t already) and make every night count. Hit up TicketSwap for last-minute tickets.
