From 4 to 8 March 2015, 5 Days Off storms into Amsterdam to present an entrancing cross section of the latest in electronic music.
Amsterdam goes electro
Inspired by Belgium’s 10 Days Off, the festival features the very best in the fields of electronic music, art and media art. From relatively small beginnings in the early noughties, it has grown into a citywide affair with events being held in locations such as the Melkweg, Paradiso and De Balie.
Explosive line-up
The 5-day indoor festival sees established names share the stage with upcoming talent in the field. Past editions have welcomed electro big-hitters including Daft Punk, The Gaslamp Killer, Jeff Mills, Dizzee Rascal, the Bloody Beetroots and Mono Lake. Acts already announced for 2015 include FKA Twigs, Surgeon, Bicep and Body & SOUL with François K, Joe Claussell and Danny Krivit. Be it big or small names, the 5 Days Off audience is always up for the party!
Side programme
To help clubbers take a seat every once in a while, the festival also presents an art programme in the Gallery at the Melkweg, as well as inspirational films and documentaries in the Melkweg Cinema.
A ticket covering entrance to all 5 days costs €59.95 and tickets are generally also available for individual events. Head to the 5 Days Off website for the complete line-up and tickets.
