King's Night
King-s Festival @Strijp-S (free)
Are you afraid you won't have anything left in the tank on King's Day? You should be if you go to King-S Festival at Strijp-S on King's Night! Here, you'll stumble upon the house party by Kader en Tasty Folk, the house veterans from Funki Bizniz, an open deck night at Biergarten (perfect for showing off your DJ skills) and Ketelhuis Invites at Ketelhuis. Mark 18:00 to 00:00 on your calendar. Don't hesitate, the entry is free!
Zomaar @Café LouLou
Dive into royal vibes at Zomaar in Café LouLou this King's Night. Get ready for high-energy house music, brought to you by Lenny Del Skon (previously rocking Bontgenoten and DGTL Festival) and Fyall, Zomaar’s resident DJ (who made waves at Paaspop and Solar). Get your ticket here!
Kings Plaza @Paterskerk (free)
Near the Paterskerk on Vestdijk, Kings Plaza brings you back to the 80s and 90s, the years when King Willem-Alexander was still somewhat of a party animal (his nickname used to be Prins Pils, which translates to the Beer Prince). Sing your heart out with party acts De Bounties and Mad Pianos. Admission for this King's Night party is free.

Why stand in a crowded cafe this King's Night, when you can also party outside? Well, you can at Stratumseind! The longest nightlife street in the Netherlands will turn into one big King's Night festival. The outdoor party is from 19:00 to 00:00, and after that, you can continue indoors!
Oranjefeest @Wilhelminaplein (free)
Where better to kick off King Willem's birthday bash than at the Wilhelminaplein, named after his great-grandma? This is one of the places to be on King's Night, with live bands all evening. At 20:00, Betty Blue sets the tone with some vintage rock, continued by Eighty Eight at 22:00.

King's Festival @Stratumseind (free)
After a banging King’s Night party, you can head back to Stratumseind the next day at 12:00.

King's Day @Cafe The Jack (free)
Looking for something heavier this King's Day? Rock café The Jack, in the heart of Stratumseind, is cranking up the volume. Expect hard-hitting tracks from Rage Against the Machine and Muse brought to you by tribute band Metal Factory.

King’s Day @Van Moll
It’s no secret that our king is nicknamed “Prince Pils.” And if he ever tried a beer from Van Moll, we’d know for sure he’d thrown his party in Eindhoven. But alas, the official celebrations are in Dokkum this year. Luckily, you can still enjoy a Van Moll brew right here in Eindhoven! From 14:00, the taps open and the music starts.
The best of King's Day
By now you're probably thinking: surely there aren't even more things to do on King's Day? Well yes, yes there are! From wandering around the flea markets to eating all the orange pastries: we make sure everyone has a fantastic King's Day!
