COME VOTE, COME DANCE! 

On Thursday, June 6th, you can not only come to vote in your favorite concert hall but also come dance at the brand-new festival sELECTION after fulfilling your civic duty! Cast your vote for the European elections and get to know emerging musical talent from all corners of Europe, or visit our cinema for an intriguing selection of films about European identity and democracy.

The further line up will be announced in the following weeks. 

The music program is made possible by Liveurope: the first European initiative supporting concert halls in promoting emerging musical talent from Europe. The film program was developed in collaboration with Creative Europe Desk NL.

For more information about polling stations and the elections, visit the Gemeente Amsterdam website.

MUSIC 

Casa Bonita (Portugal) 
Casa Bonita's sound was made for the dance floor - inspired by their favourite DJs and records from Azymuth and Herbie Hancock to André 3000's latest instrumental release, and matured in Lisbon long summer days, the project was born of re-imagining the group's favourite electronic dance tracks with a full band, which served as a springboard for creation. The band's self-titled debut album features ten meandering tracks that transport you to an afternoon in the sun, each named after dishes and drinks the group, whose feelings of home are rooted in family and food, have shared together.
