Exhibitions, experiences and concerts

Say you Volendam, you say music. That Volendam is known for music is not a Hidden Story, but there is still plenty to discover from the music the village produces. A visit to Volendam is not complete without experiencing its music past and present.

Discover the Peeling Sound

Visit the Palingsoundmuseum or the Volendams Museum and dive into the stories behind the Palingsound of The Cats, BZN, Jan Smit, Nick & Simon and the 3Js. Or discover the 'other sound of Volendam' with bands like Alasca and Mell and Vintage Future.
