The OCCII (Onafhankelijk Cultureel Centrum In It) is a venue for alternative and independent music in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The organization is mostly run by volunteers and has its roots in the squatting movement; the building was squatted in 1984 and “legalized” in 1989. Next to the concert hall, there’s also a , a restaurant (called MKZ), the Anarchist library, theatre for children (Kinderpret), a bike workshop (Farafina), a sauna (Fenomeen), rehearsal studios, and a big courtyard with a garden.
The building the OCCII resides in was built as a horse tram garage with stables in 1883-84 by architect Abraham Salm (1857-1915), who also designed (together with his father G. B. Salm) the buildings where popular commercial venues Melkweg and Paradiso now operate.
The OCCII has no central programming, instead there are several programming groups that set the agenda. Some of these groups are Le Club Suburbia (mostly indie and post-punk), `Nada (new wave and EBM), Muziek Kapot Moet (experimental, electronic, noise, weird pop), Spellbound (Queer, electronic, dance), The Real Amsterdam Underground /Doom!Shit!Doom! (punk, hardcore, Doom, Sludge), HalloGallo (sounds & colours for body and mind) and Cool Schmool (dance, indie, mostly female fronted).
The POSTHOF - located in the Linz dock area - has been existing since 1984. It is the largest and most vibrant house of contemporary arts in Austria and one of the largest in Europe.

The program offering covers the complete, broad spectrum of contemporary arts and comprises concerts of the most varied musical directions (rock, pop, jazz, reggae, techno, hiphop...) as well as cabaret, contemporary theater, dance and literature. In order to present the individual disciplines up close, SERIES OF EVENTS WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS are organized regularly, such as "Heimspiel" (February), "TanzTage" (March), "Musik Mosaik" (October) and "Linzer Kleinkunstfestival" (November). In total, aprox. 250 EVENTS take place per season (from September until June), which are attended by 80,000 PERSONS.
