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).

we are a non-commercial, alternative project lying in the city centre. in our rooms are taking place concerts as well as culturell events (like performances, theatre or public lectures).

SUB071 is located about 73 seconds from the main trainstation of Leiden (west-coast/the Netherlands). It has a max. of 50 visitors.

A group of music-loving people are organizing nice shows once a week in this new venue. Only on weekdays, so no Friday, Saturday and Sundays!

Another thing is that we start early with the shows around 21:00 and end round 23:00 so everybody can get home on time.

If possible, we try to combine a show with a cheap meal (vegan of course). If the Restaurant is open, come on time (19.00), there is a limit to the a mouth of people who can join the 2 course meal. You can send us a message to find out if the restaurant is open.
