De Nieuwjaarsborrel (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2027

De Nieuwjaarsborrel takes place at Contactweg 68 in Amsterdam on 9 January 2027, running from 1pm to 11pm. The name means the New Year drinks, which in Dutch culture is the gathering a workplace or a group holds in the first weeks of January, and the event applies that to a festival audience.

Contactweg 68 is the Thuishaven site in Amsterdam West, the semi permanent venue built from containers and salvaged material on reclaimed industrial land. A ten hour daytime event there in January means heated spaces and a programme built around the cold rather than against it.

The extreme early bird ticket is 33.45 euros including the booking fee, sold through Appic, which also delivers tickets through its app with line up and timing updates. Thuishaven is around 15 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal by bus or bike, with night buses afterwards. Amsterdam in early January is cold and dark, which is the point of a format designed to get people out of the house. For a Dutch January music festival, the timing is the idea.
