North Sea Jazz Turns 50 | Amsterdam News

Fifty years of North Sea Jazz, and the festival is bigger, bolder, and more electrifying than ever—Queen Máxima kicked things off, and the lineup includes John Legend, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and The Roots with surprise guests. Born in The Hague, it’s now a global music juggernaut at Ahoy, locked in until 2031. But beware: Rotterdam’s road chaos means ditch the car and grab public transit—or book parking fast. Doors open at 2:30 PM, shows start at 3 PM, and nightly afterparties with Questlove and Anderson Paak keep the energy soaring. Music, legacy, and pure vibe—this is how it’s done.
