Support us
Since 1968, Paradiso has been thé venue for live music, club culture, counterculture, art, and social debate in the heart of Amsterdam. Paradiso is a sanctuary where new ideas take shape and talent can flourish, but above all, it is a place that brings people together for shared experiences.
Paradiso does this entirely on a nonprofit basis. All proceeds are invested in the future of live music culture. For example in supporting emerging talent, developing new program formats, and forging new collaborations. But also in ensuring the long-term preservation of the historic building.
Support from friends, donors, and partners is indispensable in this effort. Because thanks to the public’s support, Paradiso remains a place where innovation and experimentation thrive. Almost everyone in Amsterdam - and beyond it - has a special memory of Paradiso. With your support, we’ll ensure that Paradiso remains an unforgettable place for future generations of artists and audiences alike.

Partners
Heineken
Paradiso and Heineken have been working together for many years and share a rich history in Amsterdam. In addition to Heineken being the official beer supplier, we work together through a sustainable partnership to enhance the visitor experience at Paradiso.
This partnership is reflected in various joint initiatives, including RAY: a special beer developed in collaboration with the Oedipus brewery. The name RAY refers to the iconic lighting in the building and symbolizes the shared commitment to giving space—both literally and figuratively—to creators and live music artists.
In addition, Heineken has been a committed partner in the “100 Years of Paradiso” project since its inception. Through this partnership, Heineken is directly contributing to the future plans and the upcoming renovation of the historic building on Weteringschans.
