Paradiso december events – the shows that light up your month

December at Paradiso: why the venue feels extra magical now

Walk into Paradiso in December and everything hits a little deeper. The lights glow warmer. The crowd leans in closer. The music feels designed for cold nights and long walks along the canals. It’s the month where artists bring their most emotional sets, and we get to be there for every note.

Clean Pete – 19 December – winter warmth in perfect harmony

December starts softly in Paradiso. On 19 December, Clean Pete brings a kind of warmth you feel before the first note even lands. Their harmonies are gentle, familiar, and full of that cosy Dutch winter feeling.

It’s the kind of night where the room leans in. Where stories unfold slowly, and every voice in the venue feels just a little quieter than usual. If you want a show that slows the month down in the best possible way, start here.

Karsu – 21 December – soulful nights with a global heartbeat

Just two days later, Paradiso shifts gear. 21 December belongs to Karsu — a voice that flips effortlessly from soft to powerful. Her music blends jazz, pop, and Turkish influences into something that feels warm enough to melt the cold outside.

This show feels like a celebration. She talks, jokes, tells stories, and pulls the whole room into her world. If you want a December night full of emotion and energy, this one lands right in the heart.

Sylvie Kreusch – 22 December – hypnotic, stylish, unforgettable

Then comes 22 December, and the mood shifts again — darker, stranger, more cinematic. Sylvie Kreusch turns Paradiso into her own world the moment she steps on stage. Her voice, her movement, the lights — everything is deliberate and hypnotic.

This show feels like slipping into a dream you don’t want to leave. It’s bold. It’s atmospheric. It’s the kind of night where the crowd barely breathes during certain moments. If you want a performance that feels like art in motion, this is it.

Marathon – 29 December – raw energy to shake off the winter cold

As the year closes, 29 December hits with a jolt. Marathon brings pure, restless energy — the opposite of winter hibernation. Sharp guitars. Fast drums. A set that doesn’t let you slow down.

It’s loud. It’s sweaty. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to kick December awake one last time. You walk out buzzing, warmer, fully alive. If you’ve been craving a night that shakes the cold off your shoulders, this is the one.

Coming soon – 4 January – Tim Knol: Tribute to Tom Petty

Okay, not December — but close enough to keep on your radar. On 4 January, Tim Knol brings Tom Petty’s classics back to life in a way that feels comforting after the holidays. It’s nostalgic without being dusty, warm without being slow.

This show feels like a familiar road trip soundtrack, even if you’re standing still. It’s the perfect way to step into the new year with something timeless.
