The Weeknd plays Johan Cruijff ArenA on 16-18 July

If you want a major international concert in the next two weeks, The Weeknd's three Amsterdam shows at Johan Cruijff ArenA are worth checking now. An arena event needs planning beyond the ticket, especially for transport and the journey home.

• Time and place: Live Nation lists 16, 17 and 18 July 2026 at Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam, with doors at 17:00 and showtime at 20:00.
• Best for: pop and R&B fans, visitors who want a large Amsterdam concert night, and groups who need time to coordinate seats and travel.
• Before you go: check ticket availability, seating sections, ArenA public transport and late-night return options; plan lockers, rain gear and a meeting point.

Hokimi field note: after an ArenA show, trains and metro can be crowded; a clear meeting point and backup route are more useful than rushing the first train.
