Gashouder is a monumental circular industrial structure within the Westergas cultural complex, instantly recognizable by its massive brick-and-steel construction and vast open interior. Once used as a gas holder, it now serves as a versatile venue for concerts, electronic music, artistic performances and large-scale productions. The main hall covers approximately 2,500 m², rises 14.5 metres high and can accommodate more than 3,500 visitors, giving Gashouder a rare combination of monumental scale and an intimate connection between audience and stage.
Its circular floor plan, high iron roof structure and unobstructed interior allow for highly flexible stage, lighting and sound configurations, including productions where audiences surround a central performance area. The industrial architecture remains an essential part of the experience, while modernized supporting spaces, cloakrooms and service areas provide the functionality required for major contemporary events.
Gashouder is located at Klönneplein 1, Amsterdam, Netherlands, within the largely car-free Westergas grounds. Van Hallstraat/Westergasfabriek is a convenient nearby public transport stop, followed by a short walk through the complex to the entrance, while visitors arriving by car use parking facilities outside the immediate venue area.
