Amy Macdonald brings an evening of Scottish folk pop energy to Groningen

Groningen will be one of the key stops on a European tour at the end of February, where the audience seeks a blend of intimate singer-songwriter storytelling and choruses that fill halls, and that is precisely the signature Amy Macdonald carries. The concert has been announced as a one-day event, with the program starting at 19:30, in the De Oosterpoort hall in Groningen, a city known for its strong concert and festival culture. In practice, this means that in one evening, one can expect a cross-section of the career of an artist who, since her breakthrough with the song This Is The Life, has built a reputation as a reliable concert author, especially on the continent where her singles continue to have a long life. The announcement organizer emphasizes that times are subject to change, but it is noted that the hall doors open at 18:30, while the start is scheduled for 19:30, leaving the audience enough space for entry, the cloakroom, and taking positions in the parterre or in the seating areas. If you are planning a trip or coming from another region, this specific timing is important for planning, and ticket sales for this event are already a topic among the audience that loves big choruses and a clear melodic line. Secure your tickets for this event immediately!

What the audience can expect from the repertoire and live sound

With Amy Macdonald, the concert experience is usually built on a simple but effective formula: guitar and voice as the basis, along with a band that gives the songs breadth and dynamics, so the repertoire moves easily from quiet introductions to explosive finales. Her songs live on story, but also on rhythm, and that is why in a hall like De Oosterpoort, compositions that have a pronounced sing-along potential, where the audience takes over the chorus and turns it into a collective moment, often work best. The concert announcement in Groningen describes the performer as a Scottish folk pop author of “fading charm,” recalling the continuity that has lasted since 2007, when This Is The Life opened the doors to large stages. In the more recent period, additional focus comes through material related to the album Is This What You ve Been Waiting For? which was presented as the sixth studio album, along with a confirmed major UK and European tour, so it is realistic to expect a combination of “classics” and newer songs tailored for concert arrangements. Such a mix usually means that the tempo is carefully measured, with early recognition of hits to “catch” the hall, followed by space for more emotional numbers in the middle of the set, before the final sequence that gives the audience a sense of having received a complete story. If you love concerts where people sing out loud and where energy is just as important as the precision of the performance, then buying tickets is a logical move while tickets are still available.

A new phase of the career and the European tour as the framework of the Groningen evening

In the concert announcement, Groningen is not an isolated date, but part of a wider European schedule that fits into a new phase of the career, one in which Amy Macdonald again emphasizes her authorial identity and concert strength. In media releases related to the album Is This What You ve Been Waiting For?, the release date is stated as July 11, 2025, and it is highlighted that a major tour through the United Kingdom and Europe has been confirmed along with that album, which explains why a series of indoor dates on the continent opens in February 2026. Groningen emerges here as a logical point because the north of the Netherlands has an audience accustomed to international performers, and De Oosterpoort is a space that can carry both more intimate and more powerful moments without losing sound clarity. On the artist's official page, the emphasis is on the album being “out now” with the possibility of ordering and streaming, which further indicates that the new material will be strongly represented in the set and that the audience will have the opportunity to hear the songs in a version that studio recordings only suggest. For visitors, this means a simple choice: either come as a long-time fan and get an expanded cross-section of the career, or come as someone who discovered the performer through newer singles and experience how those choruses expand in a full hall. In both cases, tickets for this concert become a kind of entry ticket to an evening in which Groningen plays the role of a European hub, and De Oosterpoort the host with experience with big names. Tickets for this concert are disappearing fast, so buy your tickets on time.

De Oosterpoort as a city stage with a long tradition

De Oosterpoort is not just another concert hall, but a place described in the local context as the most important music building in Groningen and the surrounding area since 1973, which explains why the audience perceives that space as a “home” for various genres. According to the official description, the facility is home to the Noord Nederlands Orkest, but also a key point for Eurosonic Noorderslag and a series of other concerts, plays, festivals, and business events, so experience in organization and logistics is taken for granted here. The local music archive further emphasizes that since 1973, concerts and performances have been held at this location, first with a stronger classical focus, and later with pop, jazz, and other trends, and mentions festivals that have been linked to the hall and the city. Such a biography of the space is important because the Amy Macdonald concert does not come into a vacuum, but enters the continuity of a place that knows how to “hold” the audience, from the moment of entering the foyer to the exit after the encore. In practice, this also means good flow at the entrance, clearly marked sectors, and an infrastructure accustomed to events with great interest, and that is precisely the moment when the topic of entry tickets and tickets naturally arises. If you want to avoid stress about entry and the choice of position, buying tickets in advance is usually the best way to ensure an evening without improvisation.

Capacity, space layout, and atmosphere of the large hall

The concert takes place in the Grote Zaal, the large hall of De Oosterpoort, and the organizer states in the announcement that it is primarily a standing parterre with about 1100 places and a limited number of seats, about 700, which clearly defines the expected atmosphere and audience behavior. This ratio often creates the typical energy of modern indoor concerts, enough density in the parterre to feel the unity of the chorus, along with seating zones for those who want a calmer rhythm and better visibility without constant standing. The location address is highlighted as Trompsingel 27, 9724 DA Groningen, and this precision is important to everyone coming for the first time as it facilitates navigation and planning the arrival before the doors open. In the technical specifications of the hall, intended for productions, elements such as available wireless internet in all areas and internal catering options are mentioned, which indirectly tells the audience that it is a facility that functions as a complete concert infrastructure, and not just a stage and stands. For Amy Macdonald, this is an important thing because her concert requires a good balance between vocal clarity and the breadth of the band, and the audience in such a space usually gets a clear picture both sonically and visually. Buy tickets via the button below to decide on time whether you want the parterre or a seat, because with these kinds of layouts, the best positions are known to sell out first.

Groningen as a city that lives the concert season

In the Dutch context, Groningen is known as a city with a large student population and an intense cultural rhythm, and it is precisely this audience profile that often reacts best to performers who have anthemic choruses and clear emotion. Tourist guides of the city emphasize that Martinitoren is one of the key symbols of the center, and such city points are usually part of the experience for visitors who turn the concert into a one-day trip, especially when the ticket is valid for one day and when everything is planned within one evening. In this sense, De Oosterpoort is well-positioned, close to the center and “urban” enough that one can take a walk or have dinner before the concert, and quickly reach accommodation or transport after the concert. Visit Groningen describes SPOT Groningen as the largest theater and concert organization in the north of the Netherlands, which stands behind De Oosterpoort and Stadsschouwburg, further explaining why the city has a stable program and why such concerts are not an exception but the rule. When a performer whose sound is a bridge between folk intimacy and pop stadium melody comes to such a city, a natural merging of the scene and the audience occurs, without the need for much explanation of who is who. If you are planning to come from Croatia or another country, tickets are the first step, and only then comes the planning of the route and accommodation, because without a ticket, there is no peaceful journey.

Practical information for arrival and entry into the hall

For everyone who wants to plan the evening precisely, the concert announcement states that the hall doors open at 18:30, while the program starts at 19:30, so arriving earlier is recommended so that entry passes without a rush and so that the desired position can be taken in the parterre. The location is clearly stated as SPOT De Oosterpoort, Trompsingel 27, 9724 DA Groningen, which is information worth saving in navigation, especially if you are coming from outside the city and do not know the Oosterpoort neighborhood. Additional local information on access and parking often mentions nearby garages and parking lots, including Q Park Oosterpoort at Trompsingel 23 and other options in the wider center, which can be useful if you are coming by car and want to avoid looking for a spot at the last minute. Since part of the capacity is standing, comfortable footwear and arriving a little earlier usually make the difference between an evening "in the crowd" and an evening where you feel like part of the audience's rhythm, which is especially important at concerts where choruses require space for movement and singing. Ticket sales for this event in this layout often intensify as the date approaches, so buying tickets in advance emerges as the most practical decision, especially if you are aiming for the seating area which is limited.

How to prepare for an evening that combines hits and new energy

If you want to get the most out of the concert, the easiest way is to listen to a combination of well-known songs and newer singles so that the moment of recognition in the hall comes naturally to you, without "catching" the chorus on the fly. Given that the performer's official communication emphasizes the current album and accompanying video and audio releases, it is realistic to expect that part of the setlist will highlight the new phase, but concert practice generally keeps the backbone on songs that the audience has carried as their own for years. It is precisely in this combination that the best atmosphere is created, when older hits turn into joint singing, and new songs receive a "baptism" in a live hall and show how concert-strong they actually are. De Oosterpoort, with its large hall and flexible arrangement of standing and sitting, gives the audience the opportunity to choose the style of experience themselves, closer to the stage for energy and contact, or a bit further for visibility and a calmer rhythm, and both options make sense at a concert that builds a story through dynamics. Secure your tickets for this event immediately! This is the simplest way for the rest of the preparation, from the trip to the clothing and arrival time, to be pleasant planning rather than a last-minute race.

Culture & events desk

The editorial team for arts, music and events brings together journalists and volunteers who have spent years living alongside stages, clubs, festivals and all those spaces where art and audience meet. Our writing comes from long-standing journalistic experience and genuine involvement in cultural life: from endless evenings in concert halls, from conversations with musicians before and after performances, from improvised press corners at festivals, from premieres that end with long discussions in theatre corridors, but also from small, intimate events that attract only a handful of curious people yet remain engraved in their memory for a lifetime.

In our newsroom write people who know what a stage looks like when the lights go out, how the audience breathes while waiting for the first note, and what happens behind the curtain while instruments or microphones are still being adjusted. Many of us have spent years standing on stage ourselves, participating in programme organisation, volunteering at festivals or helping artist friends present their projects. This experience from both sides of the stage gives us the ability to view events not merely as items in a calendar, but as living encounters between creators and audiences.

Our stories do not stop at who performed and how many people attended. We are interested in the processes that precede every appearance before the public: how the idea for a concert or festival is born, what it takes for a comedy to reach its audience, how much time is spent preparing an exhibition or a multimedia project. In our texts we try to convey the atmosphere of the space, the energy of the performers and the mood of the audience, as well as the context in which all this happens – why a certain performance is important, how it fits into the broader music or art scene, and what remains after the venue empties.

The editorial team for arts, music and events builds its credibility on persistence and long-term work. Behind us are decades of writing, editing, talking with artists and observing how scenes change, how some styles come to the forefront while others retreat into the background. This experience helps us distinguish fleeting hype from events that truly push boundaries and leave a mark. When we give something space, we strive to explain why we believe it deserves attention, and when we are critical, we explain our reasons, aware of the effort behind every project.

Our task is simple and demanding at the same time: to be reliable witnesses of cultural and entertainment life, to write honestly toward the audience and honestly toward performers. We do not deal in generic praise; we aim to precisely describe what we see and hear, knowing that every text may be someone’s first encounter with a certain band, festival, comedian or artist. The editorial team for arts, music and events therefore exists as a place where all these encounters are recorded, interpreted and passed on – humanly, clearly and with respect for the very reason it exists at all: the live, real event in front of a real audience.
