De Oosterpoort - Main Hall is not just a concert hall, but one of Groningen’s key venues for major live music evenings. The main hall is known for its functional layout and a capacity of around 1,150 seated places, depending on the event setup, creating a balance between the scale of a large stage and a close connection with the performers. As part of the De Oosterpoort complex, the venue has strong significance for concerts, festivals and performances that require a serious production standard.
The indoor experience is built around good acoustics, clear sightlines and an easy flow through the foyers. Visitors value the well-organised layout, comfortable seating in seated configurations and practical facilities for a pause before the programme begins or during an interval. The hall is large enough to deliver a powerful concert atmosphere while still keeping the performance focused and direct.
The venue is located at Trompsingel 27, Groningen, Netherlands. The entrance sits along Trompsingel, with nearby public parking options for visitors arriving by car, followed by a short walk to the hall itself.
