EKKO in Utrecht

EKKO’s main venue is an intimate canal-side concert and club space in central Utrecht. Its programme ranges from indie folk and hip-hop to electronic music and black metal, with both live shows and club nights.

EKKO also presents selected events at other Utrecht venues. Check the location on each event before travelling: this profile and map cover the main building at Bemuurde Weerd Westzijde 3.

Browse EKKO’s official agenda for concerts, club nights and café events. Door, support-act, headliner and end times vary by event. EKKO emails set times to people who bought tickets in advance; it also publishes them with each event.

Buy through the ticket links on EKKO’s website. If a show is not sold out, tickets are available at the door. EKKO warns that tickets from unofficial sellers may be invalid.

From Utrecht Centraal, the walk to EKKO takes about 11 minutes; cycling takes about 5 minutes. Bus stops Oudenoord and Adelaarstraat are the closest, and EKKO gives a 3–5 minute walk from those stops. Check 9292 for current services.

The venue sits in paid-parking zone A2. Paardenveld car park is about 850 metres from EKKO; check Utrecht’s official parking information for current prices, opening hours and availability.

The building’s raised entrance threshold can be bridged with a portable ramp arranged by staff through the entrance on the right. The concert room and front part of the café are on the ground floor, but the bar is reached by a small step. The route to the room is level once inside.

There is no wheelchair-accessible toilet. Lockers are upstairs and reachable only by stairs, though staff can help store a coat or bag. The room is usually standing-only; if you need a seat or other assistance, contact EKKO in advance so staff can discuss arrangements.

EKKO is cashless. Lockers on the first floor cost €2 for small, €3 for medium or €4 for large; the largest is 46 × 48 × 25 cm. Bring a bank card. The bar sells reusable Alpine earplugs for €4 per pair.

EKKO advises a minimum age of 14 for unaccompanied visitors under 18 unless an event says otherwise. Club nights after 23:00 are 18+ and staff check ID. Event times and door times differ by production.
